[FRANKENSTEIN x BREAKING BAD]
SUPERNOVA
What if you held the key to the Earth's salvation... and its potential destruction?
An eccentric Montreal chemistry professor is rumored to have isolated a dangerous theoretical compound with powerful implications for the energy sector. Despite her many warnings, her new PhD students, seeing strong potential for a solution to the advanced climate crisis threatening life on Earth within a few decades at most, decide to investigate the claims. By doing so, they ignite the spark to an unstoppable chain reaction of passion and pride, power and corruption, and unintended consequences they never could have anticipated.
Themes:
Climate crisis
Governance and corruption
Ethical dilemma
Scientific responsibility
Socioeconomic inequalities
Obsession
Power
Current stage in production: Outlining/zero-drafting

Inspo playlist
Content warnings: I do not have a full list of CWs yet because the story is not drafted, but depictions of various effects of the climate crisis (eg. natural disasters, exacerbated inequalities, displacement) are included, death/grief are addressed at points, and there's some violence, including institutional violence.

It's time! I'm gonna talk about Call Me Icarus today
Lore (Alexandra Braken) x American Gods x Metamorphoses (Ovid)
Call Me Icarus
These monsters are in every corner of our society. They are heralded as Gods among men, but not for long. I am doing everything in my power to show who they really are behind their masks. Soon, everyone will see these nasty creatures for what they are…
A Tragedy following Icarus as he takes a look behind the curtain of the Elysian Program and sees the disgusting framework that he was disillusioned to. Now the only thing on his mind is bringing down the program and the entire ATLAS corporation. Will he be able to when the world and his body seems set against him?

Overthrowing A Corrupt Government

M+S Pitch Week: List of Hashtags
This is the official list of tags that participants of the Moon+Seraph Pitch Week will add to their pitch posts. The purpose of these tags is to allow people to sort through pitches based on their interests and tastes, so they're super important!
We'll have explanations of each category of hashtags, so read on to see which tags you'll want to add to your pitch! We recommend copy and pasting for ease.
General
This is a tag everyone will want to use, as it'll allow people to view all pitches collectively.

Use these tags to indicate the kinds of representation your pitch features. You may use as many of these tags as fit your story.
