Jack Sparrow cameos: 1

I wouldn't have believed this, but pirate/ninja has really got legs. XD;; Like normally you have people finangling the themes and coming up with "creative interpretations", but this time around they're just Occam's Razor-ing it. I suspect the thing writes itself, in the sense that once you've come up with an explanation for why there's a pirate and why there's a ninja to begin with, the plot is right there and all you gotta do is unwind the yarn ball. It does get a bit Richard Chamberlain if you catch my drift but one supposes that comes with the territory.

What would happen if I started doling out themes based on Who Is The Deadliest Warrior episodes, I wonder.

Unrelatedly: logging this for tomorrow because I'm too brain-dead to read it tonight, also it is soooo corneredangel so I want him to see it (via William Gibson's twitter, natch). OH GOD MILLE PLATEAUX

Ooh, thanks. And I guess I'm a little flattered that you think I would be exactly the person to get a kick out of this.

...I've actually heard of the underlying concept a few times - but yeah, never seen it described in *these* terms/in this kind of language.

Cough cough I have a friend who would write for it, even.

Then again, I'm planning an entire book of MMA-meets-Bboy street fighting dance offs. Nothing in my life makes sense anymore.
