Wow, thanks everyone for those speedy welcomes!
FemBATS is an abbreviation of Females Burning at the Stake (in fantasy terms only, I assure you). It's usually the end result of all those wonderfully wicked medieval torture stories that I have penchant for!
I hope that I haven't alienated myself with this disclosure, but as long as I can remember, watching young girls (usually witches, of course) subjected to the harsh rules of the dreaded Inquisition has always tickled my fancy or, at least, something akin to it.
In case anyone is still interested, from a tied to a wooden stake/bondage type viewpoint, then check out www.stakedamsels.com. It's a hot site!

I'd really like to know more about some of your interests and what you like particularly about the BDSM scene.

Thanks again for making me feel so welcome
Rich
