That makes sense. Xanthe's stories was never meant to be a launching point for Helen's social commentary though
Well, at the risk of being argumentative: "Stargate: Atlantis" was never meant to be a launching point for Xanthe's romantic gay BDSM porn, but she wrote it anyway, and she had every right to do so. We can't choose where our inspiration comes from, and what the original author meant usually doesn't come into it at all.
