As I'm writing this, the pitch only has about 9 pages up, but it's still enough to make me want more and wait eagerly to see what happens next. I'd like to thank Crackwalker for pointing me in its direction.The short of it is...

As I'm writing this, the pitch only has about 9 pages up, but it's still enough to make me want more and wait eagerly to see what happens next. I'd like to thank Crackwalker for pointing me in its direction.

The short of it is this: in the future, some people exhibit incredible powers. The Imperium takes control of these people and exploit them for the advancement of human technology, often against or without the consent of the gifted individuals.

The concepts used in the story are really cool because Juiceboy manages to make them integral to the story while keeping the plot character-driven (so far, anyway). Not too much has happened in the story yet, those first nine pages, but there's definite momentum building up. It'll be fun to see where he takes it.

When I first read the background information before reading the script, I immediately thought of X-Men, where people gain strange powers as forward evolutionary steps in the human genepool. However, Juiceboy was able to maintain a certain level of originality with the nature of the powers and how they're being dealt with.

My only criticism at this point is the writing itself, but Juiceboy mentioned in an earlier post of his that this was still the draft, so it's a moot point to go on about it.

Agreed, Irony. I had a peek last night and liked what I saw. I hope to have more time to spend on it shortly. Great potential folks, have a look!

Thanks for the shout-out Irony... yes, I will have to invest more time in the polish in the coming days/weeks as I work to finish the first arc. Z2H is my first crack at the writing genre, so please feel free to send any tips along you might have.

I think your script is off to a really solid start. The characters are believable and the dilemma of the Implements is very compelling. At the same time, it's easy to see the logic of necessity behind the Imperium's use of these people. I enjoy the morally gray culture the story inhabits. It also feels like there's wheels turning already, which is exciting. I want to see who's plotting against whom, and how knows what, and all that intrigue jazz.
