:Yeah, me too,: Liis added from the same body. :Besides, we have to start and stay small. :Hunting down ore pirates was fun, but there’s no bounties, so it doesn’t pay the bills,: she pointed out privately, a diamond in her shallow cleavage glimmering. “It’ll keep us in charged batteries and fabber matter,” Angel pointed out. It’s not like the audience showered us with tips.” She pulled on her shaggy red highland cow’s ears in frustration. She had the moody budding rockstar thing down pat. “Let’s get back to the van,” Gigi said, sighing dramatically. “What do you have in mind for the next stop? The Lemon Lemurs? Tartan Tigresses? The Roan Mares? Makes it hard for non-fans to follow us-not that we have any fans. The band’s publicity was that they were Fuser-style implants-which wasn’t that far from the truth. Angel wore an all-white pantsuit in addition to her long hair, and then there were the wings that gave her the name she’d chosen. “Well, this time we’re the Crimson Cowgirls,” Angel pointed out, gesturing at the singer’s reddish bovine ears. They’re just ‘The Band That Plays Califia Lady’. “They just sing this one song over and over, Angel,” Gigi grumbled petulantly. Nobody else will ever be the headliner here.” Audiences couldn’t get used to the teeth. “These guys tried a shark gimmick a few years back. The Band Manager was currently an androgynous platinum blond who regarded the cetacean trio onstage with mild amusement. “ Dolphin lips, actually,” Angel Peryton corrected. “ Look at that guy! He can’t even sing on key! He has fish lips! “ “I can’t believe I opened for these talentless idiots,” singer Gigi Rothe groaned, burying her head in her hands. But we were just working on it so long, and Jon got so blocked over the course of it, that he’s had a hard time returning to it.Īnyway, I’m really glad it’s finally finished and available, and I hope it whets some appetites for new present-day stuff. Some of the events that take place, we no longer quite know exactly why they happen, because our original ideas went by the wayside and we never came up with replacements-but so much of the rest of the story had already been built around them happening for some reason that we just shrugged and figured we’d come up with something later.īut on the whole, I think it has some really good writing in it, especially from Jon’s side of things. It went in a lot of odd directions during the writing, many of which didn’t work out and had to be rolled back, and many of which left traces that we had to clean up when we came back to it. The story may not be our most coherent, overall. So I finished up, with a little more help from Jon. I wanted to use some other characters from it in a story I’m in the process of writing, but that story wouldn’t make any sense without this story out to introduce them. But somehow we just weren’t quite able to bring ourselves to finish it.įinally, I took another look, realized there really wasn’t all that much left to write, and set about writing it.
I dropped the odd reference to it into the “Return to Totalia” stories, too.

Jetfire even bogarted a couple of them into his “The Touch” series about Emergent Intelligences. A number of the characters we introduced in it showed up in stories set years later. It sat around about 3/4 or 7/8 completed for the longest time.Īs a result, it occupies sort of a weird position in FreeRIDErs continuity. We wrote a lot on it, then wrote a little on it in fits and starts, then sort of ran out of the inspiration necessary to finish it. According to our Google Drive manuscript file, we started working on it on January 20, 2014. If our stories were RIDEs, this one would probably be an albatross-in the classic, Coleridge sense.
