What if Marcion was right about the Catholic religion? What if there were two Gods that created the Earth and everything on it? And what if the second God, the God of the Material, was imprisoned by their creation?
Themes
Queer! (not romance, but discussion of queer characters and acceptance by church figures)
Prophetic Dreams
Religious Overhaul

Moon+Seraph Pitch Week March 2023
The dark magical girl flair of Madoka Magica meets the messiest group of queer fantasy Costco adults in...
Goddess Gang
A newly formed magical girl group, the Goddess Gang, fights for the safety of their home and families after an unknown source suddenly grants them and their enemies power that hasn’t been seen in ages. They prove their worth as they haphazardly figure out their own version of teamwork, but the girls are full of mystery and despair and they must figure out their mysteries before it's too late. The one with the deepest mystery, the weakest link, is Bambi - Evelyn Wirth's recently reunited brother. The leader of the team, Lila Wirth, feels like this is deja vu but no one knows why, not even Bambi. Even with her decades of training and study in the dark arts, Lila can't solve this mystery, and if she doesn't... it may spell doom for all of them.
Themes
power in femininity
love and friendship
despair and hope
learning to love yourself again
the harm that mothers do
trauma recovery
Quick note!! This story is a memoir, from my life in 2015-2019. All of it is based on and connected to real events and people - highly fictionalized, but based on a true story nonetheless.
Current Stage in Writing Process
I wrote the Internal Struggles plotline years ago and it was good but I got stuck. BUT I recently got unstuck by developing the External Struggles plot as well. So now I’m heavily editing the plot and preparing to start on the first draft. Also it was originally a comicbook project, which is why I haven't started on a prose manuscript.
Content warnings
violence
murder
self-harm mentions
suicide
emotional abuse
relationship abuse
past parental abuse
past religious trauma
transphobia
drug use
past SA/CSA
stalking
disordered eating
Thank you @moon-and-seraph for organizing this pitch week!

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.
MSPW: pitch
Representation Tags
Use these tags to indicate the kinds of representation your pitch features. You may use as many of these tags as fit your story.
Please note, the tags with "ownvoices" in them are set aside for people of that identity. For example, a disabled person whose story features disability representation would use "MSPW: ownvoices disability rep" AND "MSPW: disability rep". However, a nondisabled person whose story features disability would only use "MSPW: disability rep".
MSPW: disability rep MSPW: ownvoices disability rep
MSPW: mental health rep MSPW: ownvoices mental health rep
MSPW: neurodivergent rep MSPW: ownvoices neurodivergent rep
MSPW: queer rep MSPW: ownvoices queer rep
MSPW: trans rep MSPW: ownvoices trans rep

Age-Specific Tags
Use these tags so people can browse pitches by age group. You may only choose one of these tags.
MSPW: YA MSPW: NA MSPW: MG MSPW: Adult
SFF Genre Tags
Use these tags so people can browse pitches by main genre. You may use both tags if your story is sci-fi and fantasy.
MSPW: sci fi wip MSPW: fantasy wip
