On offer here is a new story about a venerable Zhorian institution. We thank Zhor's creator, Overlord, for his advice and support for all our Zhorian endeavors. In "Joy Girls of Zhor" we also wish to acknowledge our debt to Ranbarth for our use of the character "Master Hoel" and his idea of "the First Horse Troop of Prydferth," first introduced into his Zhorian novella "The Lancer's Tale" (which is here at FM.NOTE: Joy Girls of Zhor has been posted earlier at another place, but it has since been extensively revised and polished.

Our Gor fandom goes all the way back to college days. For more than a decade we read every new release in the series. Since then, we've written a few stories set in the Gor-inspired Zhor universe(created by Overlord). But somehow we've never gotten around to tackling the boni fide Gor itself. Fortunately, the author has lately encountered the variant take on the Gor stories posted by Cordelian and Olga Turlovna. Being intrigued and inspired, we have undertaken to write a tale after the fashion of these authors. We hope we haven't inadvertently violated any details that have already been established by these two enterprising authors in their novels. "Daydreamers of Gor" will hopefully pave the way for more Gor stories, either by this author or by others.

This the LONG asked for list of the characters in the Eerie Saloon saga. We didn't list ALL the characters, but we think we got all the important ones. We also checked off EVERY Category and Key Word that applied to ANY of the stories. Please note that while the physical change is a Fast Transformation, the mental change is a Slow Transformation. As for Age Group: except for Annie, who stayed the same age (just shy of 17), all of the potion girls were transformed into females in their late teens or early twenties.
