Ogopogo - An Explanation

  First, a little explanation. When pitching a series, you always have to show examples. But a lot of the time you can't just start from the beginning, the first issue, book, whatever. That's because the first issue often doesn't give a good idea of what you're story is actually like, it introduces the characters, leaves out others, and generally spends more time helping you get to know whats going on rather than giving you an idea of whats going to happening most often. It's hard to explain so I hope that made sense.

  So for my pitch, I wrote a little short story that was kind of a "this is what you'll usually be getting" sort of thing. It gives a good idea of what my story involves without getting into the muck of the actual STORY, the background, what's happening, etc. It's a bit like a filler episode in a T.V. series, something that takes place in the universe but isn't actually part of the story. So, for MGD, it's basically our two main characters; Ashley and her Guardian Demon, Daimon, fighting monsters. Obviously in the actual books there's a lot more characters, background and things are a bit more complicated than that, but take away all that intellectual stuff and that's generally what you get. Ashley and Daimon fighting monsters and doing a pretty good job.

  So besides that there isn't much you need to know going into this. But what I require from YOU is this: (Now Pay Attention) First of all, is it any good? Did you like it? Where can I improve in my writing, whatever? General stuff like that. Secondly, did you understand it? What else requires explanation, what else did you need to know? You're not supposed to be left wondering what's going on, who are these people, etc. Most of you who are reading this are lucky enough to know me personally so some of this is not completely foreign to you, but whoever will be seeing this, it will be. And that's pretty much it.

  One more thing: I've done both a short story and a script. This isn't a required thing, really all you need is a script. But I found it useful to write it as a story as well. Feel free to critique both, or either one.

  And of course, thank you to anyone who took the time to read this and especially thank you to those who give me feedback. You really have no idea how much I appreciate it, even if you're telling me it's crap. You can reply to me on here if you can, but also on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or even by E-mail, however you can get a hold of me. Thanks again. And enjoy!
