SUMMARY:Darkover Novels by Marion Zimmer Bradley and Filk!
DESCRIPTION:We’ll discuss fascinating novels based on the concept of a world on which a few hundred Terrans were marooned in crashed space ships hundreds of years ago and were forced to build a viable community from this limited gene pool. Many women found themselves unable to bear children on the new world. This resulted in a society where a fertile woman having more than one child by the same man was considered a kind of selfishness. Group marriage became the norm and ties of fosterage frequently stronger than ties of blood. \nMany new writers as well as successful professional writers have chosen to create stories in the Darkover universe dealing with the alternative lifestyle of multiply committed relationships. We’ll focus on Marion’s own Spell Sword and Forbidden Tower\, two novels based on a real life two couple group marriage which lasted 16 years! \n1 pm Pot Luck lunch—bring something healthy and delicious to share \n2-4 Socializing in clothing optional hot tub.  \nWe may watch a Poly Movie or do verbal/nonverbal sensitivity exercises between the meeting and the Filk as the group decides. \n6 Pot Luck dinner – bring something healthy and delicious to share. \nFilk Sing follows at 6:30 on Zoom and in person—music of science fiction and the Space Age from the Ballad of Appollo 13 to the hilarious Star Trek based Banned from Argo in all its many forms. We have all kinds of Poly Filk\, too\, including selections from Kathy Mar’s Living the Dream album and Craig Brussel Roger’s Half of Me. You should see what he does with The Tennessee Waltz!
