Questions from readers, and my answers<\/p>\n

– How long does it take you to write an article?<\/b><\/p>\n

It depends on the subject. It can take three or four hours, or require dozens of hours of research spread over a week or more. I write quickly, so the actual writing is what takes me the least time.<\/p>\n

– Can we find the articles you write somewhere on Second Life?<\/b><\/p>\n

Well, yes, recently. I’ve just created the Gorean Archives on a skybox, thanks to the generosity of Gorean University, of which I’m a member. You can find it at this landmark: http:\/\/maps.secondlife.com\/secondlife\/Serendipity%20Falls\/35\/47\/2489<\/a><\/p>\n

– Have you really read all the novels?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes! Including the ones in English, of course, and the most recent ones. And some of them several times, especially for my research. Because I’m really far from remembering everything. It’s not uncommon for me to get details wrong.<\/p>\n

– Are you ever going to write articles about the Torvis?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, yes, when I have the courage, and also about the other peoples of Gor. It’s just that I don’t have the motivation to do it.<\/p>\n

– Why don’t you play on French-speaking sims anymore?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because, on the one hand, I left the French-speaking sims because of their lack of traffic, and on the other hand, I wasn’t always welcome there. I was harassed several times, and that didn’t make me want to continue. And playing on English-speaking sims helps me work on my English.<\/p>\n

– How can you claim that all the modern and science fiction technology you describe exists in the world of Gor? They’re fantasy novels!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because I’ve read the novels. No, really, that’s the best and most factual answer I can give to that question. The only way not to know that Gor is a true science fiction planet opera set in an ancient world inspired by the Gallo-Roman world is not to have read the novels.<\/p>\n

– Why do you write articles about the world of Gor when you hate John Norman and his universe?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It would be strange for me to do such work if I didn’t like the world of Gor, wouldn’t it? The only difference is that I never go anywhere without my critical mind, and my critical mind gives me every right to criticize John Norman, his writings, his views, and the opinions he expresses in his novels. I really like the world of Gor, but I’m less fond of the author, whose ideas I’m very critical of, and I make a distinction between the universe and its author. I have been told that I have no right to write the Gorean Archives if I don’t like John Norman. But, indeed, I have no admiration for this author, and I still write the Gorean Archives to offer people a guide to discovering this universe that I enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
