A Moment Of Clarity

Just some things I want to address......

A word about writing:

I'm a spanker--as if you couldn't tell--who enjoys spanking females. Naturally, whenever I think of all things spanking, I tend to think in terms of M/F. I realize that's not the only configuration out there, but that's where all my experience lies, and my viewpoint usually reflects that.

A lot of times when writing things on this blog, I've been trying to keep the posts gender neutral. I refer to "the spanker and spankee", the "two people involved", the "spanking couple", and so on. Usually, it just winds up feeling awkward when writing it, and kind of clunky when reading it. In other words, it's a pain. I know I felt that way while writing the "Late For Brunch" post on Tuesday. I finally gave up and went the "let's assume the spankee is a woman" route. The writing was much easier after that.

So that's the way I'm going to write things from now on, in M/F perspective. It's easier and simpler for me. No offense to all the wonderful F/M, F/F, or M/M fans out there. I figure that spanking is spanking. I'll talk about it in the way that's most comfortable for me, and you can mentally arrange the Ms and the Fs in whatever order you like.

A word about pictures and illustrations:

From time to time I'll pick out a photo or a drawing to go along with what I've written. I've got a lot of stuff on my hard drive, and some of it will certainly make its way here--no original content, I'm afraid. Most of the material was taken off of the web and from newsgroups--alt.binaries.spanking was probably the source for the vast majority of the stuff. Very few of these pictures, however, are credited. There's nothing in the picture to identify the source, nothing in the name to indicate where it came from. The photo in "Late For Brunch" is a good example. I have no idea where that photo was originally used--possibly Janus, or Roue, or a publication like that, but I have no way of knowing for sure.

Whenever I can give some kind of credit to a photo or drawing, I will--the original source if I can, or at least the name of the blog where I found it. All others will go uncredited.

If you know the source--or if you are the source--of any uncredited photo or drawing that I use, please drop me a note and let me know, and I'll be sure to add the proper identification to the pic. Likewise, if you are the original source of a picture and don't want me to use it here, let me know and I'll see that it's removed ASAP.

A word about words:

I made a small change to the site and added a section called, More Blogs I Read. There are only two entries there so far--I imagine the list will grow fairly quickly, though. Check them all out and "Happy Reading".
