Very interesting. I'm fascinated by the Voodoo angle (but then, I usually geek out about fiction/RPG applications for Vodoun-related stuff in general) so I'll definitely be following this. I also realize you've probably gone in a different direction by this point but when you said Voodoo ATM the first thing that came to mind was a society of houngans using technology to cast their spells to deal with techno-loa and other strangeness in a pseudo-cyberish reality. (Too Shadowrun-like? I can never tell these days...) ;)
Ed, this is a very interesting experiment. My curiosity is piqued and I'm interested in seeing where you go from here. I have John's comment in the back of my mind that it's not as 'sexy' to see it happen. That remains to be seen. Follow Your Bliss, JJ
