Hello there!  Here's a new bit thats been started on, but I wanted to post
this to the list to see if there was enough intrest to justify continuing.
Its a work that I and one of my friends have been working on, set after the
End of Evangelion.  Except something has happened, outside of SEELE's
"scenario"...

And now, Neon Genesis Evangelion:
The End is the Beginning.

Neon Genesis Evangelion:
The End is the Beginning.

Prologue:  The End of a Story

An EDF Production.

Written by Helix and Rune.
aka Travis Carr and Jonathan Lloyd.

"Our world is a thing that hates us already.  For the pain and damage that
we have caused to her, if nothing else.  Thus, it is a suprise that she
refused to allow SEELE to move humanity to a higher exsistence..."

Commander Shinji Ikari, 19 AR

 Exert from Pilots Manual, as written by Shinji Ikari:

 The Evangelion program could have said to be started in 2015 AD, by the old
reconing.  This is what the public is lead to believe, and what they will
continue to believe, until they can forgive us for the crimes that we have
committed against them.  Because the Eva's are as much of the criminal as
SEELE was, however many lives they have saved.
 It truely started in Antartica in the year 1999.  That was the year that
the Katsuragi expedition discovred what is beleived to be ADAM at the south
pole.  This truely was the end of the world, at least the world that we had
known and loved.
 In the year 2000, the Second Impact occured as ADAM was reduced to an
embryonic form, in order to reduce the damage that would result from the
Angels appearance.  Yes, we knew about our enemies even back then...
 From the form of Lillith, as well as the form of ADAM, the Eva's were
created.  There were, of course, failures.  Somewhere deep in what is left
of Terminal Dogma is a graveyards of failed Eva's...  the failures of man's
attempt to become gods.  As The Human Completion Project was our attempt to
play god as well.
 And now your are an Evangelion Pilot.  Selected from the millions of human
survivors, as the last hope for mankind.  But, as a pilot you must know why
you fight.  Reasons that no book could adequately tell you.  Thus, the
reason for the classes and training courses.  You are not just a pilot, not
just a face.  Now you are the hope of millions.  Go in peace, and God bless
you."

 Ryan sat back, looking up from his pilots manual for a moment.  So this was
part of the history behind the Evangelions, was it?  Certainly not the most
facinating thing at the moment, but worth reviewing sometimes.  Sighing, he
looked around the room at the other recent accepted applicants.  All of them
young, and all of them quite nervous.  Well, he couldn't blaim them, he was
as nervious as they were.

 Finally the door swung open, revealing a tall, slightly haggard man.  He
nearly brushed the top of the door, and he was definately one of the close
combat pilots.  But the one object that drew everyones attention was the EDF
logo adorning his shoulder.

 "Alright recruites, LISTEN UP!"  Everyone in the room snaped to attention,
as if prodded by a shock stick.  "Thank you.  Obviously you know why your
here, the days of Nerv have long past.  Now, the first order of business is
to familiarize you with your new equipment.  If you will please follow
me..."  the sergent turned and walked out the door he had entered.

 All of the recruites were whispering now, excited noises of "you mean we're
going to see an Eva?" and "A real Eva, up close!" ran throughout the room.
Ryan leaned back and smiled.  Of course, these kids were all excited about
seeing an Eva, as the closest that they had ever gotten to one was on TV.
Ryan lived close to the main battlezone, and had seen several Evas before.
Of course, he had never gotten to see one up close...

 The group moved onto a platform just outside of the holding area that they
had occupied for the past hour.  It had been terrible crampt, and Ryan hoped
that where ever they were going, they would get there soon.  The lift gave a
shudder, and began its slow ascent.  Ryan glanced at the lake of bright pink
liquid that lay off to the side of the lift, coolant from the look of it.
But what did they need so much coolant for?

 The lift rose above the lake of coolant, and for the first time, Ryan saw
the Evangelions.  Hundreds of them, spread throughout the lake of coolant.
Each of them had a small team of workers, ants at this range, swarming over
them, working repairs and tuning the great andriods.  Ryan felt a grin
spreading over his face as he looked across the lake, looking at his new
job.

 "Gentlemen, welcome to the Evangelion Defense Force.  Now if you'll wait
just a minuite, we'll arrive at the dorms, and you can begin your training."
