Many, many years ago, before the internet was full of exciting things like blogs, and videos, and even many pictures, spankos had discovered it as a way of sharing experiences and stories. USENET groups like alt.sex.spanking were the major way of accessing these. And then, like the first land animals coming out of a primeval swamp, websites began to appear. At first these were not much more than slightly more refined ways of seeing what was going on in USENET. And somewhere in this stage emerged a collection of stories on Laura's Spanking Corner created by Laura Werner.
It is years since it was updated but it's still there, and guess what? Yours truly was around then writing some of those USENET stories and some of them found their way to this little corner of the site. It's over eleven years ago now but I'm still quite proud of some of these stories.
I'm a bit less reticent about people contacting me these days, but I still find this era quite fascinating as a step to getting the scene on the web in the way it is today. What would today's scene be like without those first early sites, and how many of the numerous authors on Laura's site are still around today, perhaps under other names?

James - I remember the usenet spanking group very well. I used to read all those stories. I was doing some brown-nosing research assistant work for a prof of mine and I spent a whole day on his office 'puter pouring through Usenet (he was out of town at the time, you'll be relieved to know). I think it is safe to say that Usenet spanking groups helped me realize I was not alone in my interests, and helped me come to terms with my own sexuality.
Lovely post - hope to see more! Keep writing and the readers will come!!
Dude, it's nice to know I'm not the only one amngst all these tiddymons, that knows t tintanet isn't something they invented. Remember Wulfram and 1200k stills download?
::waving:: Still here. Actually even moreso than ever. I know where quite a few of those writers are, though sadly there's even more I've lost track of.
I hadn't recognized you before, but I should have. :-)
It was probably just my association with Pablo Stubbs, but I still remember how thrilled I was when Laura asked if she could archive my stories. I bet I even printed out and saved the email. ::blush::
