Queen of Swords (Fic Head's Up)
Oct. 1st, 2008 04:42 amQueen 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

..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.

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. ^_~
