I'm actually kind of curious myself. I wasn't really against the story or anything, but I'd kill to see it improved
I need three posts to post a link, so OK, I'll post it as soon as I'm able. I really have changed it around quite a bit in many ways. A quick rundown:
- Now set on a parallel universe Earth, not some entirely fantastical world. Now called 1894 (lol geddit?)
- The story's not "We abolished sex, now we're unabolishing it" or w/ever the original was. It's now like the rise of a highly sexualised form of fascism or something.
- It's pretty strong stuff. The original has some kind of vague sense to it that reminds me of sexual-revolution-era vibes. Like we've all just got to get over our hang-ups, man, that kind of thing. This is really far more sadistic maledom.
- Many people may find it offensive! A lot of misogyny, a little bit of racism, quite a bit of ethnic abuse (mostly of the Irish so it doesn't really count). Not reflective of my actual views.
- It's still self-contained stories, but it relates, loosely, the overall progression, over the course of around fifty years, from horrific (sexual) violence towards anti-colonial insurgents to the abolition of women's rights entire. Women are simply property in this 1894 (again, not reflective of my actual views. Good porn rarely makes good politics.)
- Chapters 2 and 3 have switched order for Reasons.
ETA Also - Characters' names now appear when they speak, like normal.
