After submitting Vampire Hoteru to Cartoon Network last August, they regrettably declined to pick up the show, however, they were quite interested in seeing what else we had to say.

I responded with a letter to the head of original Development there, Heather Kenyon, in, what I felt, was an honest, genuine expression of appreciation for them taking the time out to even bother looking at our submission in the first place.

I wrote that letter in early October, and heard nothing back from Cartoon Network at all. I just chalked it up to fate, and decided that it wasn't meant to be.

Yesterday, I get an email from a familiar name that it took me a few seconds to recognize; Heather Kenyon.

Upon reading the email, I was quite shocked to see that Heather was very pleased with the letter I sent her, and once again expressed an interest in seeing what me, Juan, and Vito have up our sleeves next.

I thought the dream had tapered to a halt, especially in the wake of the writer's strike, but it seems as if the fates have more in store for me and my chums than I expected. We are proceeding full force on a new idea that we've had brewing for a while now, and I have a good feeling that this time around, CN won't be turning it away.

They've expressed, more than once now, that they have an interest in our talent. They rejected Vampire Hoteru, not because it was a bad idea, but because it was heavily anime, and they were gravitating away from that market at the time. I think we handled that rejection with grace, and are now given a second chance to impress them. I'm almost reasonably certain that we will succeed. Afterall, in this industry, they don't waste the time to exchange emails with people they are not interested in. Only time will tell for sure, but just when I thought I was out, "they" pulled me back in...
