Possible future fork of the project...[edit]

I may fork an alternate version where the celebrities are fictionalized or easily recognizable analogues, sometime up the road. -- JDCorley

Flashdance?[edit]

Final paragraph:

The Town Elders are out to get us! Yeah, yeah - we've all seen Flashdance, or at least had somebody give us the gist of it. The Tune Exalted are an extremely powerful force; the average Town Elder would rather have them around doing things for the community than being chased away for Ye Olde Actes of Perversione.

The person that gave you the gist of Flashdance may have actually been thinking about Footloose. That minor quibble aside, I just wanted to pop my head in to say how cool this all is. It inspired a long list of Exalted-esque magical Glamors (http://www.livejournal.com/users/robotnik/28027.html) for a Starchildren game (http://www.innocence.com/games/darling-wiki/index.php/Main/HomePage) I once ran.
