RIP: The Forbidden Forum (2003-2009)

Anyone who has clicked that little link over there to the right of these words will know by now: the Forbidden Forum is dead. The forum's host, RapidForum, announced months ago that they would be shutting down so this does not come as surprise. On their site right now is the following message (translated from German courtesy of everyone's favorite omnipotent god, Google):

RapidForum.com says Goodbye ...

As announced a few months ago, has now Rapid Forum closed its doors.
At the same time are also RapidChat.de and RapidTec.de no longer online.

The past years have all involved brought valuable experience.

We would like to again thank all customers for the long-term confidence in
our service and wish to thank everyone for the future.

So it's over. The forum is gone for good, leaving in its wake a ton of memories. Who can forget the awesome jokes thread, "He said, she said" that SomethingNeo started? Or the indescrible "Words" thread by Shadow? Or the time that troll pretended he was a Holywood agent who was interested in buying the rights to my stories and actually thought any of us would believe him? Or the time in mid-2004 when I went flame-crazy with a bunch of conservative jerks who thought the war in Iraq was a good idea? Or the time that asshole I knew in real life posted pictures of me? Or the time Dolemite started posting hot pictures, forever igniting the Porn Posting Fun category? Or my competitions with Spencer in that same category? Or...

...well, I could go on for quite a bit but instead I'll quit while I'm ahead! :P

I've been receiving a lot of e-mail lately from people asking what I plan to do now that the forum is gone. My answer? Nothing.

As far as I'm concerned the forum ran its course. It was fun while it lasted, sure, but if there's one thing I've learned in this short life of mine it's this: all good things come to an end. When you deny that or refuse to accept that the results end up being like the Godfather III or the Star Wars prequels. They're redundant and lame and not worthy of the original. I will not be starting a new forum.

I'm still here, after all. You can still e-mail me or communicate by posting to these blog entries. Or, if you want to mix it up with some perverted writers like myself (:P) you can check out the SOL.net group over at Google Groups. Or, if your interest in the forum was primarily about the hot pictures and such, there's this thing called "the internet" you can use to find more... :P

Anyway... God bless the Forum. May she rest in peace.

Regarding Comments

I have a confession to make: I never really read the comments made to my blog. That's probably obvious to most of you because, until today, I rarely (ever?) reply to them.

Yesterday, however, I made a post that asked a stupid question I really wanted an answer to, so I changed the settings of my blog. Now when people make comments to anything I post, those comments are e-mailed to me. It's kind of neat: I even received an e-mailed comment today from someone responding to an old post I made, the comments of which I'd never read through until now.

Anyway, I'm starting to think that with the imminent death of the forum this will be where I publically communicate with all of you... via my blog's comments. Does that make sense?

I was wondering, though: should I start allowing anonymous posts again? I stopped allowing them awhile back because after I posted a certain chapter of "Suburban Girl" my blog got flooded with lots of (since removed) racist posts, all made by anonymous posters. But if I'm going to use the blog's comments as a way to interact with all of you, should I start allowing anonymous posts again? I mean, a lot of people don't have a Blogger or OpenID account (both of which can post comments here) and though it's easy to do so, many people don't want to bother with creating one or the other.

So what should I do? Start allowing anonymous comments or keep it the way it is? Let me know... in the comments!!! :P

~watching The Watchmen, thanks to derek! oh, and happily using one of my days off from jogging (I give myself two a week) because it's fucking *nasty* outside right now!!!!~

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!

-shannon-

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. 

Click here to see the Daily Show clip about the speech... it's worth it! 

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 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!).

-shannon-

Daddy's Firm Part Three

It's (barely) Wednesday but, as promised, I've posted the next part of "Daddy's Firm" (part three) to StoriesOnline.net! There are two parts left after this one. I'll post part four next Wednesday and part five, the conclusion to this short, the Wednesday after that. Oh, and of course, I'll also make sure to add the updated parts of this story to this site, too. But they always go to SOL.net first.

Why? Well, the main reason is that I want you all to go over there, register for free, then read and vote on my stories. When I say vote, I mean you should give them all 10's. And no, 9's don't count. Neither do two 10's and one 8, if you use the advanced voting option. All 10's help, anything less sucks. Why? 

Because I don't get any money or anything for using that awesome site, or for writing in general, duh. But high scores make me feel good about my work! And most people there hate my kind of stories... I mean, anything on SOL.net that involves "forbidden" themes tend to get a lot of 1.1.1 votes, you know? Or 10.8.1 votes. Or the basic, simple, "1" vote. Argh. It's sort of annoying; I mean, if I start to read a story there and the story's topic doesn't appeal to me, I just stop reading. I only vote on stories whose topics I think I should like, you know? But whatever. Just go over there and vote. If you'd rather not, then just wait because I will post the chapters here eventually, too...!

Btw? I bet I could write a top-scoring story for SOL.net right now if I wanted. It would involve little sex, the characters would all be adults who are really into romance (the men even moreso than women), and everything ends up happy in the end. If I wrote a story like that it'd be a hit on that site!

Uhm, I should say, though? SOL.net is a great site. Lots of great authors, like Rache, are on there. I just hate how many idiots decide to vote for stories they would never like. I mean, even if you hate the topics I write about, would you really give me a 1 out of 10 for "technical" on any of them?!? Yet it happens all the time! Bullshit.

Oh, one quick thing! I got a lot of e-mail about the first two parts of DF and there seemed to be one consistent theme from longtime readers: Why does this story seem to be so thin on plot in comparison to your other stories? Other people put it more bluntly: "Why'd you decide to write a totally unrealistic story that's sort of stereotypical?". Well... My reasons are simple. I just started to write and decided not to worry about the details. I know this isn't my opus, you know? I just wanted to write a quick, fun little story of a very forbidden genre and not worry about explaining a ton of stuff. Believe me, I did a lot of deleting during the course of writing. My instinct was to give Alice a ton of backstory, to explain a lot about where Rachel was from, to go into great detail about what the firm is and all that... but I decided, "No, not this time! This time I'll just write something a little cheesy, a little mind-candy, some popcorn summer movie fun, a genuinely pure stroke story for the really depraved mind...". I've never written something like that before and, well, here's my first attempt. Hopefully some people enjoy it. 

Anyway, yeah. I know this story isn't great but please give it 10's anyway. Try to augment the jerks like this guy, who e-mailed me (anonymously) just last night about parts one and two:

"I gave you a one an dnever felt so good to give it, anybody who gave it better deserts to die as much as u for righting it."

Btw? That's just one line out of a very long and very poorly written e-mail... English is probably his second language, based on some of his word choices, but if not he's just a total moron. I hope he's reading this and will post a non-anonymous comment here to defend his so-called intelligence...!

Oh... and to those of you who obviously have liked this story by giving it great scores on SOL.net and sending me those awesome e-mails? Thanks so much!!! Each of you are worth like, ten or twenty of the jerks out there who just want to hate. :)

Okay, good night, and happy turkey day everyone!

Daddy's Firm

I just posted the first two parts of a new story, "Daddy's Firm", to SOL.net. I'll be adding a new part every Wednesday until the story is complete.

This story is something I've been working on for a while and it's sort of a new "genre" for me. I'll be really interested to hear your comments about it since it's basically a short story broken up into six or seven parts. Plus, the protagonist is a 10-year-old girl, an age I've usually shied away from given my own... history. Ugh.

I'll post the story to this site in the coming days. Until then, as always, you can find it available at storiesonline.net. 

-shannon-

~nervous~

//update! "Daddy's Firm" parts one and two are now available on this site. You should still go over to SOL.net and give it all tens, though... I'm getting my butt kicked over there! Argh.

Suburban Girl Chapter Eight

...is now up on StoriesOnline.net! For those of you who don't know anything about that site, as always, read this old post. I hate repeating myself.

You can find Chapter Eight of Suburban Girl by clicking here (make sure you're logged into SOL.net). 

I'll be posting the chapter to the "My Stories" section of this site, too, for those of you who don't like or don't use SOL.net. Probably in the next couple of days. :)

Let me know what you think of this latest chapter by either commenting to this post or contacting me via e-mail. Thanks!

-shannon-

P.S. Make sure to check out my last post about the future of the Forbidden Forum... just scroll down! Or click here, whatever. :P

//UPDATE! Suburban Girl Ch. 8 is now available in the My Stories section of this site!

The Forum is Ending

For those of you who don't know yet (I just found out myself) it looks like the forum is coming to an end. You can read about it here (make sure you're logged in before you click the link!): http://21363.rapidforum.com/topic=100167344542

I'm getting a lot of e-mails from people who are wondering what I plan on doing about this. We have a few months to make a decision (Rapidforum officially closes its doors June 6, 2009) but there's always the possibility the Forbidden Forum dies quicker than that, so who knows how long we have, really?

Part of me is inclined to let it die. I mean, the forum hasn't been very active in a long time. Maybe it's time to just let it go? Then again, I've always enjoyed meeting people there and observing some of the debates/discussions that occur. It'd be sad to see it end for all time. Argh.

Right now I guess I'm just looking for suggestions. Alternatives to RapidForum, alternatives to forums, that sort of thing. I'll listen to and consider any and all ideas. Thanks!

-shannon-

P.S. Maybe some of you could start saving (i.e. copy + pasting) some of your favorite all-time threads from the forum and I can store them in perpetuity on this site? I know it'd be a lot of work but I can think of at least a dozen threads I'd hate to see disapear forever just off the top of my head...!

Why I Love ASSTR.org

I've been reading erotica for a long time. A very long time. Almost the majority of my life, in fact, has been spent reading the works of Réage, Nabokov, Alexander, and the less haughty yet more viceral online works of writers such as Dark Dreamer, Dr. Wu, and Emerson Laken-Palmer. This latter group, the online-only authors, are the ones this post is about.

A little website called ASSTR.org introduced me to them. I was reading erotica before discovering ASSTR, but it wasn't until finding that website some time in my 16th year of age that I really began to realize how good amateur writers could be. ASSTR collected their stories and provided personal webpages for them to dissiminate their works. I don't think more than a week has gone by since the first time I discovered ASSTR that I didn't visit it.

Fans of this site will know that I became obsessed with a certain collector on that site, a young woman a couple years older than me who ran a collection/review site. After she disappeared and took her site with her, I remained an avid ASSTR fan. After some time had passed I set out to pick up her fallen torch and create my own collection and review site. I decided to call it "Forbidden Fantasies" and I knew there was but one place to host it. ASSTR.

Just over five years have passed since then and I have never regretted my decision to be a part of the ASSTR.org community. It's true that I made a couple attempts to make my own site, with my own domain, a site that would be for-profit. Both of those attempts failed. And when I went crawling back to ASSTR they welcomed me back with open arms.

In recent posts to this blog I wondered whether or not ASSTR was going away. I feared in a very public manner that ASSTR would soon disappear and with it, this website. That was all paranoia, people!! ASSTR.org is here to stay. And we are all very, very lucky that this is true! Fans of erotica around the world should unite in celebration that the brave and humble administors of the non-profit erotica collection site that is ASSTR are more than just alive. They are strong. And they are as determined as ever that their site should continue on well into the future.

I've come to this conclusion after a series of e-mails from the site's administrators. They have assured me that ASSTR is alive and well. Theirs is not a forgotten website staring into the abyss. No, they work almost daily to keep it up, keep it moving, keep it evolving. I was stupid to think otherwise. I know that now! And I am so, so sorry that I ever questioned them about that!

They can do even more with your help.

ASSTR has supported my little site for years. And as I've said many times before, by supporting them you are supporting me. I won't receive any cash or other form of compensation, of course. ASSTR is a not-for-profit orgainization. But the money you give them, no matter the amount, helps to pay their expenses to run their site ad-free. It helps them to upgrade equipment and provide more resources for contributors such as myself.

When you donate to ASSTR.org you are, in a sense, donating directly to me. Because without ASSTR.org there would be no Forbidden Fantasies. And without Forbidden Fantasies, well... we've already determined that I need this blog. This page. This site!

Please support ASSTR.org. Donate here, today, right now. They take donations online or via postal mail. And tell them Shannon sent you when you do! Just to make me look cool... :P

And please post your testimonials below about why you also love asstr, or why you donated, at least. If I don't get ten comments by Wednesday I'm going to cry, cry, cry! :(

ASSTR: 'All is well'

Hey everyone! I finally received an e-mail reply from Rey del Sexo, an administrator over at ASSTR.org. He was quick to reassure me that ASSTR.org is doing fine and, in his own words: "All is well. We have no plans on disappearing or anything." This is good news for the site since it means that my paranoia the other day was misplaced.

Rey also addressed the site updates issue, and guess what? It looks like I was uploading my updates to the wrong directory! That's why my updates (outside of the blog, which I update via Blogger) weren't showing up before. I feel sort of stupid for that, but it's not entirely my fault. Well, maybe it is, but how was I supposed to know that I had two identical directories on the ASSTR ftp located under different root directories?!? I never knew that! I thought I'd always posted to the same place... Anyway, all's well that ends well!

Now that I know I can update the site I'll probably be making a few changes soon, chief among them adding Suburban Girl to the My Stories section. And maybe updating the very out-of-date About Me section. Stuff like that. I'll let you know if and when I do.

Oh, and I'm still working on that lengthy post I promised that will let you know more about what's been going on in my life lately. I swear!

-shannon-
p.s. I just tried checking out the Forbidden Forum and it doesn't seem to be loading... I have no idea what that's about. Hopefully nothing...

Some Important Site News

A couple things to report regarding this site and its forum. This is important, people, so please read!!! :) !

1.) ASSTR.org, the host for this site, has been unresponsive lately to questions I e-mail them. I just figured out why the updates I was making to my collection, etc. weren't showing up, but I had to do that on my own, and I got lucky (remember back in September, when I couldn't get Suburban Girl to show up? They never wrote me back about that! Grrr). Anyway, I'm worried about the future of ASSTR.org. Accordingly I've created a backup blog via Blogger.com (the site I use to publish these updates). I encourage all of you to remember this URL: http://shannonsforbiddenfantasies.blogspot.com/. If for whatever reason ASSTR.org ever disappears, that will be where I republish all of my site's content. You might want to remember this URL, too: http://21363.rapidforum.com/. That's the Forbidden Forum, and if ASSTR.org ever goes down you'll need to know that direct link in order to reach it...

2.) Speaking of the forum, cool news! Because Spencer (probably the bestest friend this site has ever had and the creator of the Forbidden Forum) is now officially MIA, I've finally taken it upon myself to figure out how to mess with the nuts and bolts of the Forbidden Forum. As a result, HTML code can now be entered in postings in the Porn Posting Fun section. What does that mean? You can now embed video from YouTube, PornoTube, etc.!!! Yay! I think this will set off a golden age for the Porn Posting Fun section of the forum... which will be neat! You can read more about that here.

3.) The Forbidden Forum. Yes, I know, those pop-ups are still showing up. Those are from RapidForum, the host of the forum, not me. I don't make a dime from them. Me and a couple fans of the site are trying to figure out how to get rid of them. Well, we know how: pay them money! But that's not the issue. There isn't much money involved. What matters is that the RapidForum people aren't returning our e-mails and their online payment web page doesn't load. Part of the problem is that the site is in German... if you know German, you might be able to help! Please contact me if you do!

That's all for know... oh, and just so you know, I'm ready to come out of my shell again. I'm working on a pretty big blog post that will give you all the updates of my personal life you've been waiting for... stay tuned! :P

-shannon-

I am depressed. I'd kill myself if it were legal... just kidding. I'm all about the Civil Disobedience!Well, I'm just feeling overwhelmed I guess. Work and school and social life? Too much... I need to cut back on something. But not this, don't worry! This is my escape: this spawning website and my attempt at storytelling, that is...!No updates besides these words today, sorry! But please e-mail me if you know of or have written a story you'd like to see, and think would fit, this site!

Okay, everybody, I seriously didn't expect this site to be activated so quickly, PLUS I didn't think anyone would actually go to it yet... I'm sorry that so far there's absolutely NO content on this site! I'm working on it, though, so please be patient!When the site is ready it will collect stories centered around some of the most "sinful" and "forbidden" themes pertaining to erotica, like: Incest, Beastiality, Rape, and underage participants (I'm not big on pedo but that might crop up, too). My plan is for this site to be a good "portal" to such stories, providing synopsis', reader's opinions, and good categorization. Also, I have a few other ideas in mind to make this site unique and interactive, so stayed tuned!In the meantime, allow me to provide a link to a story I just read on another ASSTRer's collection site, a really good one that's a fave! His site, btw, is awesome, so you should definitely check it out anyway!

Read "Farm Girl" on PerMan's site!
