Thurs,
Congrats on the finals, and kudos on huppenny - what I've seen of it so far is brilliant.
A year ago, you wrote a comment on my page, right about the time I left The Fold. I've returned, lured by the great deal put forth for returnees, and your one word question - "heinleinist?" - awaited me.
So, in answer thereto, not exactly. I was certainly influenced by reading Stranger at 12 or 13, formatively, so that my already polyamorous leanings, amplified by works like David Crosby's "Triad", became a lifelong obsession. A pagan clergy friend, Morning Glory, went so far as to name her group The Church of All Worlds, but we have no such religious trappings. We're mostly reconstructionist Jews, converts thereto, or 1st century-style Xtians (which is to say Jews with a wrinkle), but that's neither here nor someplace else.
It took me a very long time to find people I could do this with, though The Lioness I've known since I was a teenager, The Lamb since she was a teenager, and The Cellist since we were both teenagers. We've experimented with every known fidelity system over the years - even monogamy! - but what we've got now is working really well (for me, not everyone's quite as content). It's constantly under construction, just like any good relationship only moreso. What I love about it is that I no longer have the problem of sleeping with strangers that used to be my primary curse and entertainment: it just doesn't occur to me any more. A real blessing.
Thanks for your latest set, btw - it was a wonderful gift to return to on my first day back at SG - you were set of the day! Yum. Thanks.
