Reading Notes: Pacific Northwest, Part B
- Cry-Because-He-Had-No-Wife is a story I can easily rewrite into the Cyberpunk universe, as most of the essential elements of the story are things I can move time periods without it losing impact. Instead of having a boy hunt for a girl, I can have V or Jacky save a girl or find her for whatever reason, and replace the giants with other hostile elements from Night City like rival gang members or mercenaries.
- The Golden Age could be a story written in the Cyberpunk universe but a lot more plot would have to be added for it to be a good and entertaining read. I could use the idea of the sacred arrow for something else like a classified or foreign piece of technology, and have the repercussions be something similar to how the Tinne die like the Indians after using the arrow.
- An Indian's Vow to the Thunder Gods is a story that isn't a myth, but an actual fact. Using real events as as a source for my stories is a valid idea that could make the reader enjoy the tale more as it's a story they know in a different environment.
