Content

I'm not sure when or even if Slave Girl 3 will be written but I'll be thinking about it in the background as I'm writing other things. I have so many ideas of where it might go and a lot of research to do on myth, culture, history, music, etc in the meantime.

I'm just curious on where YOU would like to see our happy little family settle down in the end. I want to make it clear that this is purely an opinion poll and I am not going to feel bound to the results. I also realize that the first option will likely win in a landslide, but I'm not sure if that is where I want to take this tale. Although maybe it is. We'll see what Chloe has to say in the end. I will say though that the results of this poll will not be entirely discounted. If nothing else it might eliminate some options which would be useful in itself.

As a bit of context, the time is in the 110's AD and Quin's goal is to get his family out of the Roman Empire. Also, the majority of the story might be more about the trip than the destination, like SG1, so that is something to consider as well. Finally, as this is an alternate Earth I am going to take some liberties with history and myth and other such things. My goal is not to write a history text.

Where would you be interested in seeing this group end up?  Feel free to vote for each option that interests you.

I will leave this poll active for a few days.

Here comes a history nerd with few annoying remarks: 1. The problem with Themiscyra is that by the time the events are unfolding, this city is deep within Roman Empire. And before that the city had been colonized by Greeks. Even with fantasy and magic involved, I find it hard to explain how that piece of land has not been conquered by either Greeks or Romans. 2. Note that in terms cultural & urban safistication most of mentioned cultures were very backward compared to Roman Empire (the only exception is China, with Parthia and India catching up but still behind). Moving from Rome to Japan or Scandinavia in 1st century would be like moving from Norway or UK to Zimbabwe or Afghanistan today. 3. Crazy thoughts of my own: perhaps far to the North-West of Italy in the lands of Roman Britannia there is a wise Roman governor (great-great-great-etc-grandpapa of King Arthur lol), who neglects some harsh roman laws such a slavery by birth for Amazons (historically slaves conditions were milder on frontiers because slaves could always run away beyond Roman Empire) and yet promotes roman culture & civilization in the region that still has a strong flavor of celtic spirit and druidic rites.

I take your points, though this is a world with an alternate history. In this world the Amazons control the entire Eastern half of the Black Sea area and a bit beyond and they've never been conquered. That is one of the reasons the Empire continues with such harsh treatment of them and propaganda against them, they are ancient enemies. I definitely hear you on note 2 and that is something that would need to be contended with if the group ends up in those areas, though magic would change some things. Roman Britannia is definitely a cool shout and one that I had been thinking about. 👍
