Well I think the original thread starter was asking about stories to do with white women forced to work in the field.

Yes- us guys are talking about loincloths !! I think the originator has been reading Stephen Rawlings books - he tends to include this phase in his "women -in-peril stories.

Maybe we should get back on track and does anyone know of such stories out there, other than the afore mentioned author.
I would be interested to know. This is a fantastic subject for a story.
 
Okay, so it's obvious this thread wandered off from the original, but it still holds a good idea.

Who are these women? Why are they "feild slaves"? Are they part of a prison chain gang? Is there a BDSM angle?

Talk... ;)

Perhaps a highly educated, professional, ball-breaker of a feminist, upper middleclass White woman could somehow stumble into an extra-dimensional rift ( a tear in the space-time continuum) and end up in the planet of the Negroes. But, as an added twist, not only will she have she traversed planes of existence, she has traveled back 200 years into the past. Chattel slavery still exists in this alternate world's United States. So, in this wacky topsy-turvy world she ends up being captured as a runaway slave. She is forced to work in the fields of someone's tobacco plantation. This persists until she catches the eye of the Master of said plantation, and he orders her cleaned up taken to slightly better (private) slave quarters to serve as his bed-warmer ... blah blah blah.

Think Octavia Butler in reverse ... with a little more elements of the "Gore" novels.

Why would it be? You're sure to piss off a few, but you'll please a few, too. The tastes of the readership on Lit range widely. It's just a sad fact of life that assholes and clowns tend to be more vocal than the rest of the membership.

You've read Butler? I'm impressed! She's a master of tight, powerful narrative. Wild Seed is one of my favourite novels.

Well, I am not totally sure, but I don't see why it would be. As many others have said about many topics discussed here, it's a story. It's a work of fiction. Most authors here write their stories to turn themselves on, to experss their fantasies... It's an added bonus if others enjoy them as well, though.

I, personally, liked your idea. Perhaps I can give it a try sometime, though I am not sure if I can do it justice. I have no experience writing Sci-Fi/Fantasy stories, so I don't think I can write the "parallel universe" convincibly.

I think that the important thing when writing a story of this kind, in which the sci fi/ fantasy element only sets up the premise, is to not offer any ridiculously implausible explanations of how it happened. Let the vagaries of the quantum anomaly remain a mystery ... unless of course, if you're a Cal Tech graduate or some similar egg-head.
 
Besides, if Laurel thought "racial tension" in a story was too strong, she may move the story to Extreme instead of simply declining it.
