Virtual Enterprise Conference

The first day of the Virtual Enterprise conference took place yesterday, in Glyndwr College. I missed the start - an unavoidable, niggling crisis delayed my arrival - but I was treated to a lecture by a Second Life entrepreneur. A very nice person she seemed, too.

Her name was Amy, and she runs a boutique selling poses, prims and other accessories. Fair enough. You've probably seen this all before.

I took a look at all the icons on display. They looked ... well, they kind of looked like Princess Leia from Return of The Jedi, when she was chained to Jabba the Hutt.

And then Amy said the golden word "Gorean."

And the poor, simple, naive folks around me wondered why I was laughing into my hand so hard.

My God, Wrexham has a lot of catching up to do ...

Gorean

I quite agree. Gor disturbs me somewhat.

Something else I'd like to mention here: Amy said later on that she has all of the Gor books, and she loves that world ...

Gor just creeps me the fuck out. I've tried to be more open minded about it, but the guys who are into BDSM (like from that old yahoo writing forum you and I were in?) who really pushed at me the most and pushed my buttons in very bad ways were more Gor-types.
