Everyone else is free to pipe up with suggestions. What has inspired you to do a Fastlane game? What have you read, or watched, that you think would fit into the Fastlane philosophy?

I'd have to go with Thieves' World, definitely. The original anthology especially has an ethos that fits Fastlane perfectly.
