Welcome to the new blog design

So, for my 5th bloggerversary, I decided to make the blog look like it’s 2011.  So, out goes the old three-column design, and in comes the “featured articles” slider and category columns. If you’re reading on RSS, it won’t make any difference to you, but do click through and admire the high gloss.

To make this post more exciting, here’s a picture of a naked bottom:

What shall I do for my 5th bloggerversary?

I’m sure that somebody will be able to correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure I had one of the first handful of spanking model blogs out there. If not the first. So this blog’s fifth birthday is kind of a big deal.

How do I celebrate? What do I do?

For the fifth birthday of The Spanking Writers, which is coming next month, Abel and I are throwing a big party in our house. But what about this blog, my original creation, my lovely, filthy brainchild? I’d like to celebrate with spankings, and to have something to post about later. Gah, I just don’t know.

If you make a suggestion I actually use, I’ll give you a lovely present, also to be determined later. Probably some really good pr0n.

And here’s a picture from 5 years ago, from “The Young Offender” by Northern Spanking:

Spanking stories for Kindle

Last month my husband Abel and I reduced the price of the Kindle edition of his spanking story collection, “The Punishment List”, from $9.97 to $7.50. We were going to keep the price down until the end of November, but decided to extend the discount until the end of 2010.

So, if you haven’t got around to downloading the book at the lower price yet, you still can.

As a matter of fact, if you wanted to buy somebody a spanking book for Christmas, a paper copy of “The Punishment List” can bring your spanko nearest and dearest many kinky thrills.

A new direction (Adele goes domme)

I have something of a dilemma about where my blog is going, and I hope you munchkins will be able to help me distil my thinking into something we all like.

DISCLAIMER: I have always written about representation of kink in the media and about the state of erotic arts, and I will still always write about that. This topic isn’t going away.

With the above in mind…

This site is 4 1/5 years old, which isn’t just ancient in blog years, but also a decent stretch of time in a human’s life, particularly if one happens to be a young person developing as a grown-up and a kinkster. When I started blogging, I thought that I was done finding out everything about my kinks, and now all I had to do was chronicle my adventures.

(Pauses for the laughter to die down.)

Since I started blogging, not only have I turned from a young girl into an adult, I have also developed a fine collection of kinks that I hadn’t explored before. Mostly these have to do with me growing more dominant and much more sadistic, but also with coming to enjoy male submission more than I ever have before.

These feelings hybernated at the back of my mind for a long time, while I merrily continued to blog in the same X/F vein, until three weeks ago I met and clicked with a gloriously submissive boy. (His name is Jimmy. You may have seen him before.) I have spent most of my spare time since then thinking about spanking people, tying them up, and doing other unspeakable, delicious things. Like a banner unfurling inside my head, my dominant side took prominence in my fantasies, and simply won’t be ignored any more. I’m lucky to be able to explore and indulge it in real-life, but now I also want to write about it – a lot.

I know you munchkins are used to seeing me as a bottom/submissive, or at most mildly switchy, and that a sudden flood of femdom pictures and writing may be quite jarring. (Aside: you think you’re surprised? Spare a thought for my poor husband, a 100% top.) I feel a bit bad about ambushing you with Surprise!FemdomPr0n. Now, of course, this blog is my space, and I do absolutely feel free to write anything I like here, but even so I’m wary of taking an attitude of “too bad, suckers, you may have stayed with me and supported me for years, but now this blog is about undewater cross-stitching, and I don’t care if it squicks you”.

Fair warning, then. In the near future you’re going to hear quite a lot about my topping exploits. (Jimmy has given me permission to write about him; the poor lamb doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into.) You may also see a lot of art featuring male submission. Yep, that includes naked boy bits. It also includes M/M, because it makes me hot.

(The X/F isn’t going anywhere, obviously, inasmuch as my interest in girls being spanked hasn’t gone anywhere. But boys need beating too, you know?)

This was your warning shot. I hope you can adjust, and enjoy what I have to say in the future.

SpankingCast Episode 4: “Childhood spanking fantasies”

I’ve just uploaded a new episode of SpankingCast, where I reflect on the books that formed my childhood spanking fantasies, and wonder how they influenced my current preferences.
