ABOUT ME: Married mother of two who's old enough to know better, but I just can't quit this shit.

RETIRED FICS: I've retired a lot of my stories that were either incomplete multi-chapter fics or one-shots that I'm just over and done with. If you're interested in any of my old work, some stories are still available under contest profiles, most of which can be found under my "Favorite Stories" section. Nothing that I've pulled will be published or turned into original fiction.

COLLABS:

My BFF, my other half, my partner in awesomeness, AngelGoddess1981 and I have written a few fun things together and hopefully will again! Check us out as The Angel and The Muse.

I did some dirty talking with my fabulous friend, herinfiniteeyes, writing together as Dirty Words.

My dearest PearlyFox and I are making some filthy music together. Join us over at ManiacalFox to follow along with our first story!

I wrote this little soapbox rant back in the early 2010's when for some reason glorified abuse/slavery fics exploded onto the scene, but IMO it still applies today, so I'll leave it...

FOR THE RECORD: Real, consensual, responsibly executed BDSM (Bondage, Dominance/Submission, Sadomasochism) is NOT abuse, rape, or slavery, no matter how intense the level of role play. There is a lot of confusion out there regarding just what true BDSM is and what it means, but the truth is there is no fine line between BDSM and the above mentioned atrocities; the differences are black and white. The key word in any BDSM relationship is consensual – as in both parties soberly agreeing to participate and equally benefiting from the situation. BDSM role play should always, ALWAYS be safe, sane, and consensual. A true BDSM relationship cannot exist without all of these actualities being met, and anything less than pure consent in sexual and/or domestic situations is and always will be abuse in any of its forms. The end. Period. No exceptions. Ever. *mic drop*
