So, it’s been an insanely long time since I’ve written or blogged at all. Personally, I find when you get knocked off the horse you grab that sucker by the mane and get back on! But then again, SL Gor has nothing to do with horses, or vice verse. If it hasn’t been seen or noted, that’s right, I’m back in SL after a nice long hiatus. Believe me, my vacation was good. I enjoyed a lot of the real world. I actually found out that I’m allergic to raw pizza dough…go figure.
Anywho! Tonight’s blog is mostly inspired by insomnia, but I know -PLENTY- of SL users that suffer or rather enjoy the perks of late nights. That being said I will say that in my time away from SL Gor I took a couple nights to really explore other places that house or cater to the virtual gorean. There are plenty of blogs, art/photography, and shit loads of porn. There were a few roleplay websites that offered gorean style roleplay but considering that I’ve always been a GE girl I stumbled over the massive amounts of quotations from John Norman enthusiasts. Now, don’t “Humph!” me on that, I love the concept of Gor, I do. But when creating a gorean character is it really wise to quote from the book about different characters that existed in the gorean realm as law? I understand following the laws set down by Ubar’s and High Jarls and Chieftains. But to quote the book like a bible setting its many many MANY quotes as ways to legitimize your roleplay just never really suited me.
I can’t say that I’ve read the books…I would if I had them in hard copy, but I sadly only have then in a digital version. And staring at a screen and reading small print really kills my eyeballs! I did try looking at my local library and the area library tree. None of my searches were fruitful. I know I can buy the books online, but I’m a cheapskate and I hate spending money on books that I’ve heard so many complain about. Now I will say that I read about half of the first book Tarnsman of Gor. To be totally honest, it was a struggle. Coming from a family where my father has a masters in English, and taking a Novels class early in high school I was never really shown the odd grammar used by John Norman’s characters.
But nevermind…I’ve found the best form of roleplay and gorean style is found right in our SL creations. It’s still flawed…but its the most fun. 🙂 I guess from now on, like my older posts…I’ll be taking requests, comments and inspirations. Let me know guys…what would you wanna read about next? What do I write about now? Lemme know!
