Lilia Argento, Wendy Massey and I have finally started working on our "grand mashup storyline" again. This is the one where Lucia, Queen of the Stars, Renard DuPrey, Maxine Chung and the brave survivors of Sirius Gate all end up in the same story. We were making grand progress on the thing back in April, when real life got in the way. Now we are making another run at it, scaling back our postings to accommodate our respective schedules.
For those of you who tuned in late, super-villain Renard DuPrey (who lives in an alternate-history Earth where super-powers are real), has world-walked through interdimensional p-space to meet Lucia, Queen of the Stars, a half-elven sorceress who has contact with the star-roaming Dragons. Lucia's ward, Toad, a young child raised by wolves, provides cynical commentary as Renard and Lucia succumb to their mutual attraction.
Meanwhile, Maxine Chung, who was raped by Renard DuPrey and now believes herself to be the vengeful valkyrie Brunnhilde from Wagner's opera cycle, is stalking p-space, intent on killing her betrayer, whom she identifies as the perfidious Siegfried. She has fallen in with Zirina, the Warrior Priestess, a traveling adventurer, who is puzzled by Maxine's mythic references and advanced technology.
Several light-years away, the doomed ship Sirius Gate, captained by Maxine Chung's husband John Chung, has fallen "down the rabbit hole" into p-space. Faced with starvation and worse, the 22 survivors of Sirius Gate have descended to an astonishing disc-shaped world, shaped like the Earth of Medieval cosmology. John Chung, along with ship's physician Dejah Moran (who is John Chung's lover), and the others must quickly find a way to survive on this alien world.
Have we totally confused you yet? Hang on for the ride. The roller coaster has just gotten started.
