Hey, I'd be interested in that. :)
which is how I discovered they were canibals. I changed it because it makes more sense this way - why would they eat him when he had to pursuade them not to capture him to sell before?
I was going to say that it's not technically cannibalism, since they're not the same species, but I see you've been specific about your definition later. :) (And, hmm, now I'm wondering what the heck Banik tastes like, and really not being happy with my brain for going there. :)) I'm glad you changed this bit, not just because it does make more sense, but because I love that line about Crichton being Stark's "powerful former owner." It's a good illustration of how people think about Baniks, and of how little these guys understand the relationships between these people.
the mad act is also a bit of liberation for Stark, I think, letting him express things his twisted core broods overOoh, yes ( ... )

Lucky for you I added it then, huh? :D

Precisely for that reason, in fact.

...and my brain insists on interpreting this in tha naughty way, too...

*nods* Yup. One thing I always try to make clear is how intrenched Banik are as "non people" to 99% of the folks out there.
Ooh, yes. I can so see that. I think it's true in canon, and I can see it continuing to be true post-PKW. And I think I've said before, I like the fact that he ( ... )

Well, yes, my brain also went there. And is now going there again, and doesn't seem to want to come back. *slaps brain*

Yes, I think "non-people" is exactly how they're viewed.
(I've had a Zhaan-didn't-die-AU fic snippet in my brain for ages in which, for some reason Zhaan and Stark are checking into a hotel on some planet or other, and the hotel manager tells Zhaan she can send her slave down for her bags or something, and she tells him he's not her slave, he's her mate, and he disapproves strongly and there's a big scene and they end up getting thrown out of the hotel. Never wrote it, though, 'cause I don't really have a story to attach it to. Um. I'm not sure why I felt compelled to share that. :))

I'm getting my Plant Porn someday, even if I have to write it myself...

Did you ever consider doing this with John? Not the "my mate" part, but post PK Wars, I can see John pulling a hissy fit at this sort of stuff.

...I don't suppose I could steal it? There's about three different places in Appleseeds it could fit, with minor adjustments, and ooh, ooh, I'm liking the "no room at the inn" paralells, too, for a christmas Fic ( ... )
