So... What Next

[ffutures]

Trying to think of the next Dianaverse title.

Basically, it needs to be in the form of

[famous (preferably dead) person] (The / of / etc.) [something] [something] (optional [something])

And sound like the title of a well-known TV series or film, preferably one that shows a shaky grasp of historical accuracy.

E.g.

Diana: Warrior Princess
Elvis: The Legendary Tours

The examples I had in the original game that I don't think I'll be using for one reason or another:

Parton: Lust For Glory - (Military setting) - alive

Richard of Sherwood - (Nixon as Robin Hood) - boring

Toni the Vampire Slayer - (Toni Blair etc.) - alive, boring.

Gandhi's Angels - (detective series) - still a possibility, but detective games are difficult to write.

So - any suggestions?

[small print] Sorry, but for legal reasons I need to say up front that I'm not paying anything for suggestions - the best you can expect is a free copy of the PDF if I write the thing and a credit somewhere in the introduction [/small print]

Erm, OK, these might be very lame and I might think of better ones tomorrow...

The Malcolm X Files - Black rights activist and discoverer of the Sex Pistols investigates weird happenings.

Roy Rogers in the 25th Century - Space cowboy and his robotic horse Tweaker are flung in to Earths future.

Theresa from the Crypt - A wrinkled nun narrates horror stories (I've been trying to think of a Mother Theresa character twist for your stuff for ages!)

Waynes World - John Wayne and his lifelong friend Adolph have zany slacker fun (I spent a while trying to think of someone for Garth [I decided Darth probably wouldn't pass muster] and then gave up.)

Groucho: Band of Brothers - Groucho, Harpo, Chico, Zeppo and Margaret Dumont troop across Europe to fight the nazis.

OK, may be some food for thought there (although likely only the kind that ends in a nice glass of Andrews!) Now it's in my head I'll see if I can think of any good ones.

Oh, all free for complete ridicule and fragmenting into much better ideas, naturally.

Freddie: The Maltese Falcon - Freddie Mercury and his sidekick Elizabeth the Queen Mother are caped crusaders fighting crime in Sloughpolis.

Some interesting ideas there, not sure any of them quite work for me but I'll think on it.

I've already used Mother Theresa - she's Diana's martial arts guru in D:WP, also the evil Thatcher's sister.

That figures, mentally I'd had here as a kind of merging of Mother Theresa and Yoda.
