In the tradition of a lot of Imerian novels so were the story published in the form of illuminated erotic literature with text on one sides and detailed illustrations on the right page and were well published in the federation.

Adaptions

The story being well received and sold in ladies stores and were then adapted into women's motion pictures, and catoons, and even had some brothels offering to re-create scenes from the story. However it also won some more acceptance into mainstream comunity resulting in some rather famous paintings and statues from them in the absolute royal federation.

Foreign reception

In Malgrave the work has become rather popular in liberal circles, and the various cartoons and motion pictures have been on display in various cities over the years. It has even spawned recreation works with the Imerian soldier being replaced by a Malgravean conscript and the neko slave being replaced by a Spirean, Kouralian or Rohanian worker. The Anti-Sex League (Malgrave) petitioned the Ministry of Cultural Sensitivity to ban these productions but the request was denied by the government who described the request as "nonsense".

In the Colonial Republic of Earth, a variant of this story has become popular in feminist and gata (Dornalian Neko) circles. Although the original edition can be purchased, a "Dornalianized" and expanded variant of the story is known to exist, in the form of a popular novel known as "The Trouble with Sergeant Palsgraf." Resetting the story in the hostile borderlands of San Bernardino County/Arizona during the Stalinist period, the general plotline is the same--only it is a blackly comedic tale of a young Dornalian soldier encountering a gata tribal. Although hailed as a marvel of satiric genius and also turned into a big budget Hollywood production, the estate of Lady Erika auf Borgerholm sued the author of "The Trouble with Sergeant Palsgraf," Joanna Sanchez, and her publisher DornStories, Inc., as well as People's Pictures. In the resulting litigation (known as "Borgerholm v. Sanchez, et al"), a settlement was reached wherein the Borgerholm Estate would recieve royalties from the sales of "The Trouble with Sergeant Palsgraf" and receive credit for "Original Story Concept."
