I haven't been reading your thread, but I've long heard rumors of a convention skit titled "Free Amazons of Gor" crossing MZB's feminist society with Gor.

Also, have you seen Houseplants of Gor?

[fledgist]

Written by the late Randall Garrett, much to the amusement of Marion Zimmer Bradley (twas in an essay of hers that I read it).

Coming soon: "Furries of Gor".

you know, it's possible to make a case

[bellatrys]

for Tarl + Nar, the big black hairy gentle swamp-spider:

Approaching me, stepping daintily for all its bulk, prancing over the strands, came one of the Swamp Spiders of Gor. I fastened my eyes on the blue sky, wanting it to be the last thing I looked upon. I shuddered as the beast paused near me, and I felt the light stroke of its forelegs, felt the tactile investigation of the sensory hairs on its appendages. I looked at it, and it peered down, with its four pairs of pearly eyes- quizzically, I thought. Then, to my astonishment, I heard a mechanically reproduced sound say, "Who are you?"

Just a hint of UST there, but who needs more?

And he apparently gets all turned on by the shiny gold 18' mantoid Priest-Kings, in the next book...

*falling off my chair laughing*

I can hear the thunder of Tarlotta's racing footsteps approaching even as I type!

You saucy minx, you ;-)

(Is "Ohboyohboyohboy! Yeah Yeah Yeah! Do it! Do it! Do it!" considering 'egging on' for the purposes of this discussion?)

Well, there's this part of me that's going omiGAWD

[bellatrys]

you CAN'T be seriously thinking about this! vis a vis my first ever venture into slash being *Gor* fanart. WOMAN, HAVE YOU NO SHAME LEFT! WEREN'T THE ZOMBIES ENOUGH? thunders some residual bit of Respectability lurking around in my soul - but the rest of me is going "Do it! Do it!" that is, what part isn't laughing myself sick at the thought of the fanboy reaction to T/K (T/M, T/A) erotica.

And the little reptilian voice whispering quietly, "Revenge is a dish best served cold..."

You *have* to illustrate this line, at least

"the thought of the fanboy reaction to T/K (T/M, T/A) erotica."

More like Kazrek/Tarl, *definitely* Marlenus/Tarl, and maybe Andreas/Tarl erotica, I'm thinking. Tarl strikes me as a bottom at heart, the little scamp, with his being crushed to manly bosoms and being flung to the ground with manly feet on his neck and being tied up and manhandled by manly man hands!

Even more head-'spoldy: Marlena/Tarlotta (yep, I do mean in drag! After all, he's already remarked upon the resemblance between Marlenus and his daughter re: the flashing green flame of mastery in their eyes - and yes, that is icky, to be thinking of Daddy in the same breath as Princess).

I've got the power to completely subvert the Gorean heteronormative patriarchal-asshole paradigm, on my hard drive.

Do it... do it... do it...

(What program, by the way?)

I use DAZ Studio

[bellatrys]

and a lot of Photoshop (I have some training in traditional painting and figure drawing, but the 3D speeds up scene setup now that I've got the hang of it.)

Re: I use DAZ Studio

[korvarthefox]

Daz Studio is really awsome - I'd love to see what you come up with :)

[fledgist]

I'd say go for it!

"--a morphable beard object"

By which you mean a slavegirl, right?

Pthhbt!!!

[bellatrys]

...I did almost make that snark, but figured I'd get pelted with golden apples for it.

Re: Pthhbt!!!

[jonquil]

Me: making cheap and obvious jokes since 1963. (I give myself four years to get started.)

Great, you've got me started now
