Badassery Abounds -- A Long-Term Short Story Writing Adventure

Chaos is a friend to me Hey tropers.

I've decided to undertake a year-long (minimum) project of writing a series of short stories all taking place in the same universe. The gimmick is that I want to include every single badass thing that can be thought of in the stories.

I've got a bit of a list of things I want to include so far — Mecha, cool anachronisms, dieselpunk/cyberpunk, la resistance, cultists, cosmic horrors, magic, government conspiracies, improbable situations, xanatos gambits, apocalypses and apocalyptic settings, sword fighting, mutants, chainsaws, motorcycles, car chases, bomb defusing, energy weapons, lightning guns, dinosaurs, lava/magma, zombies, mad science, dictators, insane amounts of symbolism (meaningful and meaningless), skydive fighting, gun-fu/gun-kata, horseback riding, indestructable determinators, dragons, ninjas, pirates, martial arts, samurai, mazes, rock music, rayguns, sky pirates, zepplins, western elements, angels and demons.

Got anything else that you just KNOW needs to be added to the list of unending badass elements?

If you're doing dieselpunk/steampunk, there must be Technology Porn. Promise me.

But no Indy Ploy?

Also, parkour.
