krys, i agree, witch make me think how interesting it would have been if we had had Normas ideas developed by one of the masters of Fantasy now that had been somthing to marvel at.

I fired off a notestream a few months back asking "Why Gor" and reviewed a number of societies that fulfilled the "woman submissive" and "man honorable and noble" criteria that seems to power the Gor people.

There were a number of thoughtful comments, but I was still left wondering. After all, it seems a lot easier to replicate a society that existed than one where you have to filter out "priest kings" and "tarns" and really can't know how the words were really pronounced.

Me? I lean toward being a Draka, but then "honorable and noble" isn't a hot button with me.

Actually, that thought scares me....if there is so much attention given to a "B" series of books, what would happen if a "good" writter wrote them..a new religion? wait, didn't that already happen?

Truth is, Norman borrowed from real life cultures to develope the ones in His books, so it isn't surprising to me that people would weed out the unworldly to base some of there ways on, others have based some of their ways on the same cultures without the use of Norman's books.

i did a search and could not find this; would you kindly email me the link to this, as it sounds very interesting from sociological and curiosity points of view. thank you.

I'm not so hot on the search function here myself or I would have included more details.

OK I'm better than I thought. The initial post was http://www.collarchat.com/fb.asp?m=169419

I am not big on sharing my..er...toys

. As I recall, Tarl did come across a slave with some healing powers. Granted the price would be high for her..but a slave is a reflection on the owner so she would be a positive addition.

I wish you well

I have to admit I was looking at old posts and saw this. What caught me was the "Masters of sci fi". LMFAO. Have you ever heard Captain Kirk talk? It does not talk good writing or good acting to becomea sci fi hero.
