MAGIC FANTASY PSYCHIC SEX. (Far better than Telepathic Sci-Fi Sex or Telepathic Dragon orgies, thank YOU Anne McCaffrey...) Oh, definitely, Magic Warrior Soul Bonding had a huge formative influence upon me and my terrible youthful compositions. An overdose of Magic Warrior Soul Bonding (Marston, Douglass, who else was there?) is responsible for my love-hate relationship with the Amazing True Destiny Bonding Slash sort of genre...

I missed the Saxon part. I think I thought the Saeseni were Saxons, as opposed to Not!Vikings. Anyway, now that I know about Anglo-Saxons, and more about Celts, and many other exciting things besides, I'm stumbling across all kinds of hilarious things. I think Marston must've studied early medieval history or lit at SOME point.

On the other hand, thanks to fandom and just plain being more awesome than I was, I keep wanting to go through the book with a red pen - tighten this sentence up here, cut that one there, dear GOD improve your sex scenes...
