Heh, I got all this via a link from
ariestess. Cliff Notes version - Sci-Fi author K. Tempest Bradford takes resurrected Realms of Fantasy magazine to task for constantly putting fantasy art with only females on their covers. During the course of discussion, someone, *not* K. Tempest Bradford, creates a mock RoF cover featuring a semi-nude male, which Bradford later posts on her blog. Someone, or someone's, miffed about the post talks to Harlan Ellison about Bradford calling RoF sexist. Harlan Ellison proceeds to make a COMPLETE AND UTTER ASS of himself.. again. It should be noted, Ellison has since apologized. Regardless, the ensuing flap had the predictable outcome of derailing the conversation, the topic of which was a magazine devoted to fantasy and science fiction with a large female readership constantly putting up covers for the sole purpose of appealing to male readers.
Anyway, enough about that, what does any of that have to do with this post? I was so inspired - I MADE REALMS OF FANTASY COVER PRoN!! That's what! Sure, in the pictures below the cut, I could have used the original models. But why be so boring when I can photoshop Gerard Butler and Karl Urban as horny satyrs holding their erect satyr-hoods in their hands as they gaze seductively into camera!?! Heh, someone somewhere *really* regrets giving me Photoshop!
Needless to say, this is soo NOT SAFE FOR WORK!! But, what do I know, I haven't had a job for so long I've forgotten what the Hell that means!!
( If Realms of Fantasy were actually 'Fair and Balanced' and, apparently, run by the same people who do Cosmo.. )
