Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I can't even.

It has been reprinted. Which you might know, but just in case you didn't. I read it in university, loved it to pieces, but couldn't find a copy for my own until fairly recently.

yeah, there's an Orb edition (2000). I still have my SteelDragon press hardback and the original Ace pb, but I love that book kinda irrationally.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What makes a powerful being a god? What makes a god worth worshipping?

I think this came up in discussion of last season's Stargate, with the Ori running around and terrorising people into obeisance. The idea was floated that since they could give life, they were gods. And if they were gods and wanted to be worshipped...then what?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What makes a powerful being a god? What makes a god worth worshipping?

Yeah, I've just never been particularly interested in worshipping any god. Firstly, well, atheist, but even if I did believe in the concept of a higher being, why would I want to defer to it on all matters? If I can't understand it, then how do I know if I agree with it?

I know a guy who's working on clean and pressing two 70lb lumps of steel 65 times in a row. And I definitely know he's into being worshipped as a god. I can hook you up with the details of His Order if you want.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Lemme guess, Sacred Order of Our Lady of the Kettlebells?

Hmm. I do like that order name better. And as avatar (of vengeance) I totally think I should get a say.

Yeah, let's call it that.

I wish people would realise that I'm compiling information not for my own private use or delight, but rather because someone else needs it. So you can't guilt trip me out of it, or wheedle your way around. Because I'm not going to pass it on.
