Daddy's Firm Part Five!

Okay, I just posted Daddy's Firm Part Five to SOL.net! I also posted both parts 4 and 5 to this site, but I posted them in text format and they look a little funky in my browser, at least. I'll post the html versions (the ones that don't look funky!) here soon but for right now you might want to copy and paste the text into whatever word processor (i.e. MS Word, OpenOffice Write, Notepad, etc.) to make it more readable. As always, please go over to the SOL.net version if for no other reason than to give it all 10's in their voting system...!

There is a caveat to this, however. Part Five was supposed to be the conclusion to the Daddy's Firm story. Not anymore. In the near future I'll be adding an epilogue to the story which will explain what happens to the loser of the competition. Why am I doing this?

Originally this epilogue was going to be a part of Part Five. I changed my mind for two reasons. First, I had promised to post Part Five before the end of the year. But I'm only about a third of the way through the epilogue scene and there's no way I can get it done before the clock strikes midnight later today. I felt compelled to at least post something in the meantime, you know? 

The second reason for doing this is a little more complicated. Basically, this story has been really hard for me to write. The genre isn't something I'm particularly comfortable with for personal reasons many of you are aware of. I've managed to write parts 1-5 only because I felt a sort of... internal challenge, you know? Like, once I started I told myself, "You have to finish this!". I don't know why but I've felt like I owe it to Alice and Rachel to resolve their stories. 

Unfortunately, though, one of them has to lose the competition. The loser is going to suffer a great deal, and that's where the epilogue comes in. When I post the epilogue you'll know what I mean. Writing this scene is extremely difficult for me. It's what's been holding up Part Five for so long. But by making the epilogue separate from part five, I can at least warn everyone about it in advance. I can say, "If you liked the story and felt that it concluded nicely at the end of Part Five, stop there. Only read the epilogue if you have a strong stomach!". 

So... yeah! The epilogue is not necessary, I don't think, for the reader. As the author of this sordid tale I feel compelled to write it, and eventually to post it, but part five should be a satisfying enough ending for most of you. For those of you who crave to know the fate of the competition's loser and aren't worried about the total lack of erotica such a fate will entail, well... the epilogue will be posted soon. So stay tuned!

P.S. If Part Five isn't showing up yet on SOL.net, or on this site, be patient. SOL.net always says "submissions could take up to 48 hours to appear". Usually it only takes a couple hours, though. As for asstr.org, well, try this link for part five and this link for part four if the regular ones aren't working. Thanks!

My Favorite Moments of 2008

Please forgive me for another non-"Daddy's Firm", non-sexual update to this blog, but I just can't help myself. The holidays always depress me and looking back on my favorite moments of the past year brightens my spirits. Without further ado, here's the list (with video) of my Top Five Favorite Memories of 2008.

5.) Obama's Iowa Victory Speech.

It all started on a chilly winter night. January 3, 2008 will very likely go down in history as one of the most important in American politics. I watched the caucus returns with Beth (cry) and a bunch of her friends and I remember being the only person in the room wearing an Obama t-shirt (which Beth had just bought for me a couple days before; a simple white t-shirt with the now-famous "Obama Rising" logo). I was probably the only person in the room who nearly orgasmed when he was officially named the winner of the contest, but after his speech I was approached by lots of Hillary, Edwards, and even Kucinich supporters who wanted to know more about the Junior Senator from Illinois. It was a wonderful night and that speech still makes me smile. :)

4.) "Yes We Can" Obama Music Video

When I watched this video the first time it brought tears to my eyes! I knew right away it was going to be an important way for Obama supporters to sum up our candidate's message, so in February 2008 I sent it out to literally hundreds of my friends and acquaintances. Ten months later the original YouTube post is nearing 15 million hits. Decision 2008, meet Web 2.0!

3.) Fox News Calls Ohio for Obama on Election Night
I couldn't find an embed-able video of this, but clicking the link above will bring you to a Huffington Post article that includes a video of Karl Rove declaring: "If [McCain] loses Ohio, he goes from 286 [electoral votes], which the Republicans carried in 2004, down to 266, and that puts him below the 270 threshold needed to win the White House. So he'd not only need to sweep the rest of these states which were won by the Republicans in 2004, he'd also need to pick up something as well."

"Guess what Karl,"a somber sounding Brit Hume broke in, "I've just received word that the state of Ohio has gone for Barack Obama."

I was watching Fox News at an election party during this announcement (we flipped between MSNBC and Fox News every fifteen minutes). I saw it live. Unlike everyone else in the room, I didn't cheer, though. I started crying and never really stopped for at least a week. Why the tears? Because his victory in Ohio meant that Obama would be our next president. I don't think I ever felt such relief, and joy, and hope, in my entire life before that moment. It was amazing, one of the most emotional moments of my life,  and it still makes me smile from ear to ear to remember it...! :)

2.) Obama's Philadelphia Speech On Race: "A More Perfect Union"

I saw this one live, too.

I remember I was under the weather that day. I was also depressed about the current state of the election. For a couple of weeks Obama had been pummeled in the press for his connection to his pastor, Jeremiah Wright. I saw his campaign crumbling. I watched with a broken heart as race reared its ugly head in the election. The doubts my Democrat friends had voiced to me about Obama's electability, doubts I had dismissed, seemed reasonable all of a sudden. The country was too white to elect a black man. His affiliation with a hate-speech black minister proved it. All was lost.

Obama had an ace in the hole, though. His campaign announced he was going to make a major speech to address the issue of Wright, a speech that would do even more: it would tackle racial politics, too. 

Such a speech, I knew, had to be more than just good. It had to be amazing. It had to be historic. In the end, he needed a home run. Instead, he delivered a grand slam.

Jon Stewart said it best on the Daily Show: "And so, at 11 'o clock on a Tuesday, a prominent politician spoke to Americans about race as though they were adults."

I've lived my whole life wishing I had been alive to see Dr. King's speech on the Mall. Or that I had been alive to see Lincoln's speech at Gettysburg. Or that I'd been in Parliament when Churchill declared, "We will fight on the beaches, and in the streets, we shall never surrender...".

After this speech, though, I was just glad I was alive in March this past year. This speech ranks with the "better angels of our nature" and the "never give in" speeches of previous centuries.

1.) Obama's Victory Speech

I was already crying (see number 3, above) when he gave this speech. My tears only increased. I felt such relief, such joy. It was simply amazing to behold: he did it. He actually did it. Not only that, though, but we did it. We got him elected. We won! For the first time in my entire life I felt pride and hope and optimism in my country meld together in a way that has not changed since. Oprah said it best: "He is The One."

At this defining moment, change has come to America. God bless you, Mr. President. And God bless America for shocking the world by doing the right thing. America? Fuck yeah.

Love,

-shannon-

P.S. I had many good non-Obama moments this year, btw, some of which include experiences with this site. But nothing can compared to his historic election! I mean... we changed the world! As awesome as it is, how can posting a neat short story that I'm still so proud of, or receiving amazing gifts from fans, compare with that?

Thanks! (XMas Wishlist Update)

Okay, so some awesome people gave me some awesome gifts from my wishlist so I think it's time to shut it down for now (I don't want all of you going broke buying me memberships... what if I go dry again in the future? :P). A very special Christmas Thank You to...

1.) Real_Harry_DaMour who, as he has in the past, once again set up a really neat way for me to d/l files from his collection. Harry, you rule!

2.) Buck for also coming up with a clever way for me to find oodles of porn! Don't worry, I won't use up all your credits... I simply don't have enough hard-drive space. :P Buck, you're awesome!

3.) Ballio for buying me a six month membership to SexAndSubmissions.com!!! It was the first and only gift I received that was actually on my list and for that he gets a hug in addition to a reward. Not that there's anything wrong with the other gifts, it's just... I really wanted a membership to that site. :P Ballio is coolio. 

4.) "Jon Doe" for giving me his u/n and p/w to not one, but two paid sites! I haven't actually used the sites yet, but it seems to me that he knows what I like (a cursory glance of them reveals as much!). "Jon Doe", you rock the world around me! (*note: I literally just got these memberships and haven't had time to ask what he wants me to call him here; I'll edit this post with the alias of his choice when he e-mails me back).

Anyway, in addition to all the really nice gifts above I also received a ton of well-wishers, suggestions for how to find free porn, and other nice e-mails. To all of you who wrote and e-mailed, please know that you really lifted my spirits (and tingled some... other areas...!). I really love it when the site's fans reveal how generous, intelligent, and appreciative the majority of you are of what I do here. It keeps me going so thanks so much!

Lol... one person (Harry, I'm looking in your direction) said in his first e-mail about the wishlist:

I was distressed to learn this morning that you have found yourself lacking in inspiration and needing a fix of some really filthy porn.  You have but to ask, shannon.

Others shared his sentiments, obviously, as illustrated above. But I hate coming across as a whiny, nagging bitch. This site is supposed to be 100% free. It will remain so, of course, but in the future if I get desperate for new porn again I promise I'll be a little more assertive with the whole "asking" thing. Just let me know (as nicely as possible) if I ever get annoying about it. :P

-shannon-

P.S. Yes, I'm still working on Daddy's Firm Ch. 5 and I'm making progress with it! I guarantee it'll be posted before the year is over and I'm 90% sure it will be up by Christmas. Sorry for the delay but for those of you who like the story, trust me, it will be worth it to have it done right!

Daddy's Firm 5 will be late, plus Wishlist!

First off, Daddy's Firm Part 5 will be late. Sorry! I'm working on it, I really am, but it's taking longer than excpected. I want to make sure it's perfect before I post. I should have it done soon... promise! Once it's finished I swear I'll post it here. Stay tuned!

Second, I've decided to do another Christmas Wish List. It's been 3 years since I did this because I hate asking for stuff from you, the great friends of this site. But lately I've been totally without good "inspiration" and I can't afford to buy it for myself. Times are tough, you know? Argh. But "inspiration" helps me write, you know? Shrugs...

Anyway, like I said, back in 2005 I posted a blog entry where I listed several websites I really wanted a membership to. That blog entry is gone for some reason (I probably deleted it out of embarrassment... like I said, I *hate* asking for stuff!) but you can read my "thank you" post here. 

Three years have passed... ugh. I feel so old. :( But still, now more than ever, I have the need for good porn. You have no idea how much it helps me with my stories... sigh. 

So I promise you this: if you buy me a membership to any of the following sites, I'll give you one of the following three things:

1.) A one-on-one cyber sex chat, no holds barred. Max 1 hour. I haven't cybered in forever, so that might be a lot of fun...!

2.) The uncompleted (so far) draft of Trailer Trash Teen chapter 12. 

3.) A really unsexy picture of myself. A real one. But I will block my face out in the picture, and it won't be worth it. Trust me, you should ask for 1 or 2 instead.

So, what's on my wishlist this year? Here we go!

1.) http://biohazarduncensored.com/ 

2.) http://www.sexandsubmission.com/

3.) http://www.deluxepass.com/

4.) Any site you wish to share!

Contact me if you are willing and able to fulfill any of my wishes on this year's Christmas list... if you can and do, it will be greatly appreciated. Trust me, I use all "inspiration" to help me with my stories, plus I'm sort of lonely right now and desperate for reliable means of getting off... :P

Thanks in advance! 

//update! Please make sure to *ask* me first before going out and buying me a membership somewhere... so far everyone has but I'd feel bad if I ended up getting a membership to a site someone else has already gotten me. I'll update this page if and when I do get some of the memberships, though (so far, not much luck!). Thanks again everyone!

Daddy's Firm Part Four

I just posted "Daddy's Firm" Part Four to Storiesonline.net! Go and read it. Now! :P As always, give it a really high score (10's only, please) and e-mail me with your comments/thoughts, too...

Oh, I also just added Part Three of that story to this site. Part Four will be added here next week, when part five (the conclusion) is added to SOL.net...

-shannon-

~patience is a virtue~

Twitter is such a filthy word

As in: "Debra is such a slut! I heard that half the boys in school have twittered her..."

Lol, anyway, by request, I made a Twitter account. Don't expect me to update it often because I over-update my RL Twitter account and I'm *not* going to let myself become addicted to two Twitters (seriously, doesn't that sound dirty!?). ANYway, add me as a friend there. 

Oh, part four of "Daddy's Firm" will be posted tomorrow (as promised!).
