Line 55: − + − − − I don't know what it was exactly that bothered me about this, and it's not like I don't think this person had the right to write (Defend my right to write, she said) this story -- it just gagged me. − − : It did for me too, and I haven't even read the damn thing. The minute you said it was a [[Robin of Sherwood Fandom and Slash Fanworks|RoS slash (absolutely verbotten in my life)]] I wanted to upchuck. − − : First off, bullshit (pardon my French). That sounds more like the Xtian god to me, not Herne. Herne is a benevolent god (okay, so once in a while one of his sons has to die for the land, but that is true, even in the Xtian religion). He's not going to ask for pain (assumed) and blood in something that is supposed to be done in love. (Who were the two, btw?) − − : I'm going to get flamed, big time, for this, probably. I'll defend anyone's right to free speech, but [[Robin of Sherwood Fandom and Slash Fanworks|Kip has asked us very nicely not to write [[RoS]] slash]] and those of us who really love the universe have said that we won't. I won't read this stuff for all the money in the world and neither will any of the other Merries. − − :Go ahead. Flame away. I don't care. This is one of the few things that really torks me off and puts me on my soapbox.<Ref> first comments by [[Sandy Hereld]], from [[Virgule-L]], quoted with permission (Sep 30, 1993), the reply is by Beth H. </ref>}} − − {{Quotation|[The Successor]: Isn't this that *very* strange one where they meet while one is still Robin, are immediately attracted to each other, but don't act on it − until Herne and the Lady say they can ---BUT-- they can't use lubricant, because they must dedicate their pain to God? − − Not terribly written, by any means, but the strangest concept I think I've ever read. <Ref> comments by [[Sandy Hereld]], from [[Virgule-L]], quoted with permission (December 1996) </ref>}}

{{Quotation|[The Successor]: I can't believe this story...Ugh, bad taste in my mouth time. These two guys meet, and are immediately drawn to each other. They spend hours together, and have pretty much accepted the fact they are going to make love, when, their personal god (Herne -- yeah, it's RoS) tells them that as a proof of their faith in him, that their first time together needs to draw blood which they will then offer up to the god.
