Sadly, when my HDD crashed, I lost the work I had done on the underground Duxploitation epic that had been potentially mooted -- with a petition for a license from John -- as Beak No Evil II: Gonna Fly Now, or Pimp Pinfeather's Baadasss Song. I had hoped to offer it for Continuum 2006, but other commitments meant it was placed on the backburner early in the New Year, to be resurrected for a later con; now with the crash that is a certainty.
Set in the Duck Point Ghetto, it dealt with life under the oppression of The Muthas, featuring such characters as Jonrik Quillshaft, Foxy Down, Boobygrub 'Boogie' van Pebbles, Big Momma, Gylskald the Heron, Septon Quibbs, and that most effective of Takenegi Argenteus' Lunar intelligence agencies, Argie's Angels.
[Takenegi founded the Bearers of Good News, whose agents scoured the lands outside the Empire for the slightest detail. Militaris vivified and expanded the Entelathosium, paragons of military analysis. Argenteus took three vivacious but vacuous bints who failed the Ordenviru's staff exam and placed them in a mansion in Glamour.]
The quotient of quack fu, feather 'fro's, low-riding chariots, inbred Tarshite sheriffs, shakedowns at Geo's Bar and horsescrubbing hi-jinx down at the stables was high. Duck cults included Orlanth Pimpdaddy, Issaries Pusherman, Vengeful Sista Vinga, Lhankor Mhy PI, The Muthas and the Nation of Humakt.
I've entirely forgotten what the deeper plot was. Nevermind. Expect a Summer 2007 release. I'm actually starting to think that, if you played up the Lunar element, it might make a viable light-hearted freeform.
Stu.
