Hi Slave Ruthie,

You're right. This website is brilliant and we shouldn't be aggressive towards each other. I think this is one of maybe two times where I've actually had a go at someone on the internet, but in this case, I feel my point has been made and I'm happy to leave it at that.

Jinn has done a fantastic job with the website and he keeps making improvements everyday. There is a really good supply of pictures available to the paying members, the dungeon for learning, the forums for intelligent conversation, and even a chatroom. And now his new website (BDSM-Illustrated) is looking to be just as popular and I'm very happy to help him build it with extra story writing.

We've got it good people (and subs.) I cannot think of another website which offers so much, and all for so little.

In saying that, this website relies on authors to produce stories. Writing isn't as easy as it sounds. Myself personally, I have to fit it in with work, my family, relatives, sleep, and renovating a house into my 24 hours a day. Sometimes the authors need a break from story cynicism and an occasional pat-on-the-back wouldn't hurt either. We're not all professionals in the story writing business. We just enjoy storytelling. We don't get paid and unfortunately I've seen and spoken to a number of promising authors get shot down in flames on their first story submission. Others however have thrived and gone on to make awesome BDSM literature.

So lets put it this way, if you really like a story ... let the poor old author know. If you don't like it ... ditto. Let them know how good or bad it is, and importantly to help them improve or just put a big darn smile on their faces ... tell them 'why' you like it or where it could be improved.

Jinn. Excellent website mate. You get two thumbs up from the Bird. Your new site is looking awesome and I'm privileged to be on the ground level with it.

Authors. You're the grease that helps drive this website. Each and everyone of you is important, and your work (both good and bad) is appreciated by all.

Anyone else want to cheer on Jinn and/or the authors ... the stage is yours.

Thanks for listening to an old firebird.
