Oh, okay. How about my idea to let them join Dionysus and his ladies? Any problems with that one? ---

Send 'em to Pern. With the expansion into the Southern Continent, new bodies are always needed especially since much of the exploring is being done by dragon riders. They could always use more kitchen drudges and, if the ladies were willing, they could restock the population of the continent with the cute dragon riders. I’ve never yet met a lady in the Pern universe who wasn’t willing to do some potential population restocking with dragon riders. Besides, the horrors they have gone through will just have either McCaffery salivating at all the breast thumping and hand wringing they could do while describing the girls’ previous life of horror, contrasted with the wonders of being B’Dik’s new mistress. ---

You don’t accept money or rewards for rescuing slaves, and you don’t try to make a profit afterwards, because then you’re just being a slave trader but lying to yourself about it. Remember what Bob said. > > Still risky. Narnia is not like Star Trek. You might get in of your own accord, but you’ll be \*\*leaving \*\*when Aslan feels you have matured and not before. Also it isn’t much better equipped for Gorean refugees than Oz is. They have sex there, clearly, but I don’t think anybody there has the vocabulary to deal with people who’ve been abused as slaves in Gor are. They could get help in Aslan’s country, but continua devices cannot go there. Then what’s wrong with Hollywood? ---

> [@Skald\_the\_Rhymer](#): > > Movie Glinda is a bitch. “You always had the power to go back home, Dorothy. I just didn’t tell you because you had to find out for yourself.” Screw movie Glinda, and movie Oz too. Movie Oz doesn’t exist. It was all just a dream, remember? > [@](#): > > As for Book-Glinda – well, there’s no sex in Oz, at least for humans. (Nobody dies but the population doesn’t increase.) The first sentence doesn’t necessarily follow from the second, unless you’re Catholic. And you’ve obviously never read the original, uncensored version of _The Wizard of Oz_, in which it wasn’t a **heart** that the Tin Woodman wanted the Wizard to give him. ---
