Y'know, though, if I'm going to be listed, the writer of the original should at least get it right: the Tron story is barely 5,000 words long and hasn't been released yet.
Geez, people. PoE must really be scraping the bottom of the barrel.
The funny thing is, not being a furry, nor a fan of slash, nor having ever read or heard of "The Only Fair Game" (sorry, elf!), I still came to the same conclusion. The name of my Kzinti alter-ego (which I assume when playing Kzin ships and discussing Kzin strategies in the Starfleet Battles board game) is the very gay Captain Cat-a-Might (a pun which, thankfully, most of the people who play the game don't get). I mean, it never even occurred to me that the aggressive all-male crewmen of the Patriarch's fleet would not be rather wont to give vent to their S/M homosexual urges. "Catnip, sodomy and the lash" -- it just makes sense!
I guess the PoE post was useful in that it let me know what a stick-in-the-mud Niven is. So much for rishatra; I guess interspecies sex is fine, intra-species gay sex isn't.
Heya! That's okay, TOFG is just a little story. Truth to tell, I'm sorry that I wrote it, if only because it means that the real story will never come out in the MKW series.
"Captain Cat-a-Might." Damn. I wish I'd thought of that.
