Queen of Swords (Fic Head's Up)

[jheti]

Queen of Swords was a short-lived "chick Zorro" show that ran back-to-back with, oh god I wish I could remember its name, some show where Bruce Campbell essentially lampooned the hell out of a Harlequin novel pirate lord sort of character.

Anyway, it exists, and is hard to get ahold of, and was tough to find even during its network run.

There is fic for it, by ithildyn.

I remember that show actually

They couldn't use the title 'Zorra' because it's the same as a woman calling herself 'slut' or 'bitch', so they go with 'Queen of Swords'.

..come to think of it, she's one of the very 'hero' aside from Eowyn of LOTR, to actually use a sword as a weapon.

She-Ra's a cartoon so that doesn't count.

And this woman here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Sonja), although the movie is REALLY, really bad. XD

And, uh, Xena. But seriously, that's all. Sword is not a common weapon for girls, which is stupid; good Damascus steel weighs about eleven pounds and will slice through a modern car door. *Shrug.*

Cartoons don't count, so no Utena and no Oscar. XD But there's also this (http://www.filmsite.org/quee.html), although you have to kind of go far back for it. ^_~

I remember the theme song was a hoot, but not much else. I only saw like two episodes. XD I wonder if they have it on DVD yet? Hmmm. O_o;

Never got to actually see Queen of Swords, but I have love for tiny fandoms, so, pimpage. ^_^
