Title: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: Daphne on June 17, 2010, 09:43:48 pm "The Martian Harem" is a pastiche of two classics of English literature. What are they? You'll need to name both, correctly, in the same post to win.

Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: TheWorm on June 17, 2010, 10:58:47 pm Okay, after researching the history of Anna and the King, I've got to make a correction.
The Martian Chronicles and Romance of the Harem[/b]. :) Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: sturkwurk on June 18, 2010, 07:11:09 am "A Brief History of Time" and the operator's Manual for the John Deere Z225 EZtrack Residential Zero-Turn Radius Mower
:) Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: Daphne on June 18, 2010, 02:06:45 pm "A Brief History of Time" and the operator's Manual for the John Deere Z225 EZtrack Residential Zero-Turn Radius Mower :) Damn, so close! :) Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: TheWorm on June 19, 2010, 05:35:38 am Okay, then....
Journey to Mars and Anna and the King of Siam. Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: Daphne on June 21, 2010, 07:05:35 pm OK, time for a hint!
Neither book pertains to Mars. Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: TheWorm on June 22, 2010, 05:33:53 am Anna and the King and The Story of O.
Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: Daphne on June 23, 2010, 11:13:05 am Next hint! Neither book was published after 1900.
Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: Liriel on June 23, 2010, 11:31:51 am Ok, i'll take a shot
I really thought you were going for Anna and the king, but it wasnt published till the 40's.. so that's out. The English Governess at the Siamese Court Romance of the Harem Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: Daphne on June 26, 2010, 12:24:58 pm OK, one more hint!
Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: sturkwurk on June 26, 2010, 01:19:27 pm Oh I know!
Poor Richard's Almanac and The Bible! Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: Daphne on June 26, 2010, 01:36:36 pm Oh I know! Poor Richard's Almanac and The Bible! You're the artist! You already know the answer! No giving it away. :) Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What?

Post by: Daphne on June 29, 2010, 10:16:45 pm Next hint: A character's name contains clues to both books.
Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: PsiLance on June 29, 2010, 10:41:14 pm I'll go for a Hail Mary pass with Dumas' The Lady of the Camellias and Burney's Camilla.
Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: holdout235 on July 01, 2010, 03:35:10 am Okay
Lets try Fanny Hill and Arabian Nights Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: Daphne on July 03, 2010, 08:40:05 pm I'll go for a Hail Mary pass with Dumas' The Lady of the Camellias and Burney's Camilla. Top marks for the reach! Now, I want to write a story that contains both. :) OK, elimination round: The correct books have been mentioned here, but not together. Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: TheWorm on July 05, 2010, 03:44:12 pm Romance of the Harem and The Story of O
Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: PsiLance on July 05, 2010, 09:13:26 pm The English Governess at the Siamese Court & Camilla
Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: TheWorm on July 05, 2010, 10:40:31 pm Romance of the Harem and Camilla
Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: SoulBlazer on July 07, 2010, 01:00:12 pm Camilla and The Story Of O
Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: Daphne on July 07, 2010, 01:01:13 pm OK, next clue: "Camilla" is not one of the books.
Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: SoulBlazer on July 07, 2010, 01:06:05 pm I'm just shooting totally in the dark here, having not read ANY of these books, but:
The Story of O and The English Governess at the Siamese Court Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: Daphne on July 08, 2010, 10:49:08 am OK, next hint: Both books were published before 1900.
Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: SoulBlazer on July 08, 2010, 01:21:57 pm Didn't you allready give that hint? :)
Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: Daphne on July 08, 2010, 01:26:56 pm Didn't you allready give that hint? :) Yes, but people keep guessing The Story of O (1954), so I thought I'd mention it again. :) Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: SoulBlazer on July 08, 2010, 04:46:16 pm Doh! I didn't realize the book was that new! For some reason I thought it was from the Victorian era.
I must be getting it confused with something else. :) Okay, next guess: The English Governess at the Siamese Court and Romance of the Harem Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: PsiLance on July 08, 2010, 08:35:39 pm This is fun! <buzzes in>
I'll go with The Lady of the Camellias and The English Governess at the Siamese Court for the block. Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: cypher333 on July 10, 2010, 03:38:50 am I'll give it a try!
The English Governess at the Siamese Court and Fanny Hill Title: Re: June 17 Contest: "The Martian Harem" Rips Off What? Post by: Daphne on July 10, 2010, 10:05:54 am I'll give it a try!
