The authors want to thank the following individuals for their
contributions to this story:

Tim (an135878@anon.penet.fi) for relating an experience he had
that generated the basic idea for the story.

Steve (an169860@anon.penet.fi) for reviewing the first draft of
day one with Linda and suggesting several story changes that
really took off.

The women of alt.sex.femdom, some of whom may recognize their
names in this story. The characters in the story are totally
fictitious and have absolutely no connection with real world
people. However, Farnorth and Mule would like to honor all the
sources of our inspiration. Consider the imitation an attempt at
flattery.

                          About writing
                     The Painter's Daughters

The Painter's Daughters was a collaborative effort of two
alt.sex.femdom subscribers, Farnorth and Mule. Long before we had
the opportunity to meet, we collaborated on plot lines, emailed
revisions back and forth through the net, and made the story come
to life.

                        About the Authors

Farnorth by Mule:

I met Farnorth on the net when he responded to my Making of a
Mistress series. At that time he indicated his interest in
writing femdom fantasies. I had the rough outlines of a story and
I mailed it to him. My original plan was a short story of about
two chapters. Farnorth was much more ambitious, and The Painter's
Daughters as it is today is ten times larger.

Farnorth is the creator of Kimmie Worthington, the most feminine
character I've come across in any story. If the chromosomes of
males are XY and females are XX, then Kimmie is XXX! Aside from
her physical appearance, she walks, acts, and moves in every way
feminine. Every ounce of her body, every ruffle in her clothing,
and every detail of her makeup and hair say "girl power."
Kimmie's seductive grace and erection-provoking movements produce
an induced testosterone intoxication in all men who see her.
Combine these talents with a mind bent on the domination of
males, and you have a woman that will make any man drop to his
knees in her presence.

Farnorth is Kimmie. He breathes her, sleeps her, thinks her, and
(as far as I know) dresses like her. He has really put a lot of
himself into the character.

Farnorth and I assumed our female personas so frequently during
the writing of this story that our correspondence was often
carried out as Linda and Kim rather than Mule and Farnorth. As a
result, Farnorth and I have come (no pun intended) to know each
other well as "sisters." Like sisters we seem to know each
other's thoughts, but more importantly, we are able to share each
other's feelings. It makes the writing a lot easier when the
characters are actually real people.

Farnorth is a gentle soul with a lot of love and devotion to give
to the right woman. If she's into domination (and why shouldn't
she be if she's reading this story), so much the better. If he
has to choose, however, Farnorth is more interested in sharing
his life with a woman in a stable, mutually supportive
relationship than he is in playing dom-sub games.

P.S.: Since we've started this story, Farnorth has found the
woman who embraces both these ideals. He adores her with all his
heart, mind, and body. He expects to adore her forever, and to
bring happiness to their relationship every day for the rest of
their lives.

Mule by Farnorth:

There was so much that impressed me about Making of a Mistress. I
wrote to Mule and said that if I went to the book store and
picked up a copy of MoaM along with Tom Clancy's latest thriller
and had only enough money in my pocket to buy one of the books,
honest-to-god I did not know which one I could put down.

For me, Mule had this unique ability to combine the innocence of
pre-pubescent youth with such total, absolute erotic power. As
MoaM unfolded I began checking the net every hour hoping the next
chapter had arrived and wondering what this so very young femdom
would do next. I fell in love with her long before she reached
the age of consent, and remember saying to myself "Thank goodness
they can't shove me in the slammer just for thinking about her."

Logically, it was impossible that this girl could exert her
control in so many different ways. But emotionally I "knew" that
who she was and what she did was totally credible. To my mind
MoaM is, pure and simple, a delightful story.

Collaborating with Mule on TPD has been a wonderful experience in
many ways, and I have learned so much more by working with him
than would ever have been possible had I tried to write my first
real story alone.

Also, I have come to know another human being and I've been
fortunate to learn something of the very loving (and totally
monogamous and non dom-sub) relationship he and his wife share.
Yet even he acknowledges that, "Whether she's a domme or not, a
smart man knows how important it is to please his woman."

Before this story was completed I had the opportunity to meet
Mule. (Heck, on the Great Circle route I'm closer to Helsinki
than you are!) <g>

I found that Mule is, in person, every bit as much a great guy as
I'd anticipated through the medium of cyberspace.
