From January 1997 to November 2012 I happily played in the sometimes-chaotic usenet towns alt.sex.spanking then soc.sexuality.spanking, referred to as ASSville and SSSville respectively. It was a space of discussion, word play, and stories, both fiction and real life accounts1Also scorched earth sorts of flamewars, but let’s remember the more rose-tinted times. .
Like so many on the newgroups I wrote plenty of real life accounts and fiction. We also collaborated, stories were written in response to other stories. The newsgroup gave me a lot — it was the first time I was able to “talk” with others who shared the “Topic of Greatest Interest.” To a large extent my stories were, partly, a way to give a little back.
In all my internet wanderings since I’ve searched for something that felt like Assville, or at least Assville at its best.
Sampling:
“Cap’s Tricks and Perils: A Missing Scene from The Hidden Hand“ by E.D.E.N. Southworth and Me
Saint Clare School
“The Comfort of Small Things” by MollyB and Mija
