Nah, in Nyx Smith's Stryper Stories there were a couple of dwarves and a
pair of orks (seperately) engaging in sexual activities --albeit not
very graphically.

Humm, I'd say that (we) writers are focusing on metas...

1. as a handle or a hook, if you will, to bring the Sixth World more in
to focus.
2. since without the meta flavor, the stories tend to become either:
a) akin to Cyberpunk2020 or
b) bland.
3. 'cause, it's more *fun* to write about metas!!
4. obviously, somebody's activated the "more metahumans" options...

Take yer pick, chummer,
