“The humans were amazing, in their day. Our world is layered over theirs, and the bones of the old one still poke through. On a clear morning you can see what’s left of one of their cities out in the bay… Huge buildings, tens or hundreds of stories high, standing precarious and mostly-uninhabitable, their flooded streets under twenty feet of water. But the humans’ day has passed. Oh, there’s still a few of them out there, trying to take back the world they squandered. But without claws? Without fur? Without scent? Heh. Good luck to ‘em.”
Reminder, I’m looking for wild fantasy anthropomorphic (furry)/posthumanist adventures for a paying anthology — The Reclamation Project. It’s a fantasy setting of a post-cataclysmic but ultimately optimistic future, drawing elements from solarpunk, sword and sorcery/sword and planet, and super-science adventure tales, The Reclamation Project tells the story of this future world by focusing on the stories of the furs who live in it.
The elevator pitch is “Casablanca Meets Thundarr the Barbarian — With Just a Touch of Studio Ghibli.” And you She-Ra fans I know are out there: you’ll feel right at home. Hop on! (She-Ra was actually my inspiration for creating the setting in the first place.)
We’re just over a month out from the submission deadline, so it’s time to get cracking! :D
