A/N: Okay so this is what my life would have been if I ever gained supernatural powers and my mother ever died. God forbid that ever happens in real life. But hopefully you all like my original Pitch. I of course dont know if this will be amazing. But i have Faith it will

[xsylviamoonx]

This looks really interesting. Nice casting, and I like the idea of the VPN having a main character that's gay. I look forward to learning more about Karl and the cast, especially curious about his powers. What kind of powers?

[The Doctor]

Well that would be spoiling wouldnt it?haha
And Karl is me so hope you like my life if it was like this

[Jamison]

Well I can't say this isn't original. I'm glad that you've finally come up with a show that is not Buffyverse or Smallvilleverse (?) Comicverse (?) Whatever. lol The more original it is, the better it can be and it's cool to see you trying to break out of that spinoff thing, even if its based on your life, you've created new aspects of your life and made twists to make if more interesting to the readers. Yay for the originality.

I like your characters, though I think the two guys that are on the football team may be a bit too alike. They seem like the same person. Well not really, but kind of. I would give one of them another outlet, other than football, just so we don't get confused between the two different characters. Casting is really good as well.

Um...something is missing. The pitch almost feels empty because we don't know what his powers are. I think if this were a real show, we'd already know what they were. It shouldn't be a mystery while you're pitching. You should reveal it because it's a very important detail and you want to reveal that so we can have an idea of the tone of the show. Because right now, this power could be anything? Shooting acid snot from his nose for all we know. LOL I don't think revealing it would be a spoiler, it would provide us with a very important detail for the show.

[The Doctor]

Nicole: I officially posted his power . Its Telepathy
Chris: Okay I changed it

[Jason T. Davis]

Like Chris said, It's great to see an original series. It takes a while for someone who has been making spinoff after spinoff to finally grow out of that and get on to bigger and better things. Glad to see this happening now, with you

As for the series itself, the plot seems kind of forced. I'm sensing this being more of a drama, so I don't see where the supernatural side of it comes in. The main character is a struggling teen, who just lost his mother but oh, he has telepathic powers? In some ways, it can work but in others, I sounds like a really good dream that a teenager would have. I admit, I've had a couple of dreams where I suddenly had super powers. It's a fun idea, but maybe something to keep in the dream world.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, it seems slightly unrealistic. I know, it's based on your life, which is very much real, but mixing the real in with the imaginary sometimes causes the balance of the genre to go haywire, which I think may be the problem here.

It takes LOADS of writing experience to successfully make a supernatural drama series, where there's a perfect balance between the two genres, like Joss Whedon did with Buffy. LOL I know its definitely something I cannot do yet.

Moving onto the characters...them seem to be okay. The main character being gay is kind of new to me. I'm open to it, but it'll probably take some getting used to. lol The others are pretty realistic, interesting and they have a lot to offer to the show. At a first glance, I think this series would actually work better if you make it a pure drama series. The supernatural bit sends out a slight hokey? vibe.

Anyways, good luck with the show.

[Jack Malone]

What Jason said is pretty much how I feel about the pitch too...

[The Doctor]

Thanks guys. The good news is that i finally figured out a way to do a pitch without a spinoff type deal attached to it
But yup. Im still debating whether to have a supernatural twist to it. We will see how the pilot turns out

[Matthew James]

hmm... I think everyone's pretty much said everything. I also feel that the shows comes off as a drama more than a supernatural series as there isnt really much about supernatural elements other than Karl discovering his abilities. Overall I can't wait for the pilot!

[Brian Melanson]

I also agree with everyone else. This could be a Drama. So Maybe do that? Just a suggestion Great that it's original! Very happy about that!

[The Doctor]

Okay So im seriously still working on this.
I have a lot of things going on lately but I will DEFINITELY finish this pilot so you can all read it
