Strannger than fiction.

I do realise that LSF is the Library of Spanking FICTION. Reading through Smalltalk posts though I see that many refer to real life experiences and I'm wondering if (with the moderators' approval), actual first hand accounts would be acceptable as submissions. A few years ago I was asked to submit such an account to a site dedicated to school corporal punishment describing the spanking I had received at the hands of my infamous headmaster.The old tyrant was well known for his prolific spanking activities as headmaster of my junior school in South London and my submission was well received. I've also submitted descriptions of the "punishments" I've given and received as an adult to other sites and these have also created interest. I would be interested to hear what my fellow LSF members think?

Apologies for the typo in the heading. The edit function won't let me change it - over to you Feb's.

I suspect that some readers may not appreciate that South London is, like you, in South Africa, a country notorious for its use of corporal punishment in schools. We, of course, use the term to denote that part of London that lies South of the River Thames.

As regards your question I anticipate the management response will be "No, as it would encourage accounts of children being punished." If it were me, I would also say no, because such accounts may identify real people and raise all sorts of privacy and other legal issues.

We will see.

Perhaps the sensible thing would be to write a fictionalised account of your real life experience. Use your memories and your feelings but rename the school and the Headmaster. Isn’t there also a rule now about not writing about spanking children? I can’t remember the age cut off. But you may have to make the school a secondary school.
Fictionalising it has the plus of being able to write yourself as a fictional version, extolling your own good looks, wit and brilliance, and making the headmaster a particularly unpleasant and repulsive character, if you so wish.

You could even include an account of how you turned the tables and got your own back - I'm sure that must have crossed your mind during or after your punishment!

I would agree with KatiePie, "..write a fictionalised account of your real life experience.."

Most stories I have written are based, loosely, on real events, including from school years. That probably shows my lack of imagination. But fictionalisation allows exploration of the thoughts and motivation of other characters which are missing from simple recounting of real life events. I also gives you free rein to glamourise or eroticise the actual event and , as myrkassi suggest, include revenge.

For me, I never saw CP as in any way sensual while I was still subject to it. In fact i would say a good number of years passed, perhaps five or six, before I could see anything sensual or erotic about CP. And even then it was very different to my actual experience. For one thing, I was the spanker, something that didn't occur while I was in school!

Remember the old Dragnet TV show disclaimer "the names have been changed to protect the innocent."
That's a good idea that was suggested here. . A fictionalized account of real events-like historical fiction novels.
I myself have written stories with characters inspired by real people, or on real conversations or events.But I don't set them in actual places or use anything that could identify a real person.

Like Katie, much of my writing is based, either largely of in passing, on my real life experiences. I find it exciting to share my spankings and sexual experiences associated with them with fellow readers. My Joanne gets a spanking series is re-set in a teaching environment, ut actually took place at home and in an office (as well as on holiday).

As they say truth can often be stranger (or sexier) than pure fiction.

That's great advise. "Just the facts ma'am." That's what Dan Ackroyd said in the Dragnet movie.

I agree completely. A fictionalized version is the answer. I have been reading George Orwell's lesser works including compendiums of his journalism and essays plus his early novels. And I found he used his actual experience as a Burmese colonial policeman to write "Burmese Days"; his experience of hop picking in Kent and of fourth rate private schools of the time turned up in "A Clergyman's Daughter". His experience of working in bookshops as a filler was used in "Keep The Aspidistras Flying". Even "Down and Out in Paris and London" was a fictionized version of his experiences working as a dish washer in a Paris hotel and tramping in London.
