Doctor Quinn was locked in the saloon, and the Sheriff was miserable.
Ever since she had come to town two weeks ago, the goody-goody doctor had been organizing the town against him.
She'd convinced the women of the town to withhold sex from their men-folk until they agreed to bathe once a week.
She'd campaigned for all of the town's officials, including the Sheriff, to attend church services.
The women were saying that Doctor Quinn would make an excellent Mayor. Of course first the men would have to let the women vote.
It was a nightmare!
But now the lovely liberal had gone to far. Every May first the Sheriff would arrest all of the whores in the saloon, strip them naked, and then hoist them up in the middle of the town with just their toes brushing the ground.
Then the Sheriff would go to work with his trusty razor strap!
After the strapping the eager locals would tar and feather the luckless strumpets and run them out of town on a rail. It didn't seem to matter to anyone that the women would always be back in a few days, since they were under contract to the saloon. The annual whore hoisting had become something of a holiday. It satisfied the moral outrage of the spiteful old biddies at the church, and it satisfied the Sheriff and the horny townsmen in other ways.
May first was better than Christmas!
But that busy-body Doctor Quinn had locked herself in the saloon with the whores and had refused to come out.
Didn't she understand that whore hoisting was a sacred tradition?
It was the Judge who saw through the problem to the opportunity.
"That's a mighty long cross beam, Sheriff", the Judge said thoughtfully, eyeing the post that extended from the roof of the Sheriff's office to the saloon across the street. "Plenty roomy".
"What do you mean?" the Sheriff moaned.
"The law is clear...any woman in that saloon on May first is a whore in the eyes of the law", the Judge said sternly. "And that means she gets hoisted."
The Judge smiled. "Even if she did go to Harvard."
"I bet if you lay on the strap hard enough, she might even sign a whoring contract" the Judge mused. "I don't know if we need a full time doctor." "But we could always another whore."
The smiling Sheriff checked the adequacy of the tar and feathers supply before skipping merrily down the street towards the feminine fortress.
Doctor Quinn was locked in the saloon, and the Sheriff was delighted.
The End

It's rather improbable that the characters in the series would behave in such a fashion – perhaps, an alternative "Doctor Quinn"? The legal loophole is rather clever, though.

The story wasn't really p.c. but who cares? It was a fun read! And I admit Doctor Quinn does deserve it. She finally gets her come-uppance in this story. Wish I could see it though.

The problem with having to re-do your review, is that often a change in mood or timing makes your second review quite different. I remember reading this story several months back, however, I don't remember the review I gave it.
I do know that I love fanfiction in general, but I am VERY picky about making sure the settings and characters are just right. I like this as a general spanking story set in the old west. However, as fanfiction I'm just not sure. The character in this story doesn't seem to fit the Dr. Quinn I remember from the show.
She WAS quite the feminist for her time...but she also understood the need to work with people not try to force a situation. Still, it was a very interesting picture! grin
