Grah, the deadline approaches for our LitCritter TradFan Fantasy short story.
I swear, it's times like these that I wish resources were more readily available for Philippine 'ancient times'. Things that come to mind are the Philippine Wiki, the various Philippine Martial Arts books that I have, the Philippine Martial Arts forum that I visit, and various ideas jumping around in my head - half-remembered folk tales, incomplete and apocryphal histories of Mu and Atlantis, and the works of Zechariah Sitchin.
Excuse me, must write now.
