I'm at Tor.com today with Animated Sexual Shenanigans on Mongo. Having acquired the DVD boxed set of the television series The New Adventures of Flash Gordon (1979-1980), I was excited to watch it as I only recalled glimpses of the show from my childhood.
While revisiting this fun Filmation festival of Flash, my jaw hit the floor when I encountered the show's surprisingly high levels of romance and sensuality. I invite you to check out my post on it, and if you're a fan of Flash Gordon, I recommend you check out the box set as well.
Also, be sure and catch up on some of the recent SFR-related happenings:
Jess Granger has posted an excerpt from BEYOND THE SHADOWS, the sequel to her debut science fiction romance BEYOND THE RAIN.
Claire Delacroix (GUARDIAN) dishes on The Appeal of a Dystopian Society at RomCon.
Angela James takes us through Week One...Learning the Ropes at Carina Press.
In Contest Challenges for the Skiffy Rommer Set, Laurie Green gives us an inside peek about her experiences entering her SFR manuscript P2PC in a few recent writing contests.
Joyfully yours,
Heather

I never watched the show (saw the 1980 movie, I think) but that was a great post : )
And now I have the Queen song in my wee head. "Flash! Ah-aaaaaaah!"
Will I look like a honking nerd if I add this box set to my Amazon Wish List?
Oh, and a big compliment for you Heather... I was browsing the posts over at Tor when I read this one about Flash, and I thought it was really entertaining, and I didn't even realize it was by you until I got to the very end. Then when I saw your name, I thought, it figures that Heather wrote this. It's the best thing I've read over here all week.
Cathy, I know the feeling, lol!
@Honking Nerd--I mean, Rebecca--thanks for your kind words. I appreciate the feedback.
For a brief time in Dorset, I played chess with Flash Gordon film director Mike Hodges' wife. I loved that film, found it very sexy... and wasn't the young Timothy Dalton a hunk!
@Rowena What a neat anecdote! And I really want to re-watch the film again. I don't remember as much as I would have liked.
