Afterword:

Wuxia epics, especially those by Louis Cha, entered my life
when I started watching those cool Chinese dramas that often
got shown on Sunday mornings here in my country. And I just
ate them up. State of Divinity, Demi-gods and Semi-Devils
and quite a few others became favorites. I added to this
martial arts epic fever by being lucky enough to watch old
Shaw Brothers films that were being shown way back when.

Would there be any chance of these movies would be available over here?

'70s martial arts hoo-hah! ^_^

And not a Dance Dance Revolution machine with 'Kung-Fu Fighting' to be 
found.

Anyway, this vignette brings Louis Cha's Condor Heroes
cycle (The Condor Heroes, The Return of the Condor Heroes(my
favorite ^_^!!) and Heaven Sword, Dragon Sabre) into the

I won't be disappointed if Condor Man doesn't make a cameo. :p

Dance sequence. Yes, that is Xiao Long Nu (little dragon
girl), heroine of Shendiao Xialu, calling the Guardian of
Time Great-grandmother. "Louis" is Louis Cha or Jin Yong
as he is better known in most places here in the East.

Ah!  So Pluto's the great-granny?  Golly, never saw that coming.  You would 
have already assumed that Pluto was the the younger, but I guess I wasn't 
reading it closely enough.

Anyway, Xiao Long Nu, her husband, and quite a few other
"immortals" are going to show up in the Dance sequence.
So keep on watching! ^_

I will, but reading this made me realize just how illiterate I am about 
Eastern literature.  I'm barely survived reading Sun Tzu's Art of War.  :P

The bottom line: you've got me interested about this whole SM/Condor Heroes 
idea and where you intend to take it.

Oh, and I read the Taming a Dragon fic too.  What got me into that was the 
reference to Fu Manchu thanks to the movies about the same guy.  Was there 
any books about the evil Doctor? Or was it just a movie from the start?


"A great idea! Warhammer on Ice! *CRASH* *SPLASH* ...maybe not."
