Having to hunt for spanking material and buy it secretly gave a thrill which today's generation, who can easily download not only books and magazines, but videos as well must miss out on.
There is something to be said for that. As a child and a youth I found spanking references and material wherever I could, most of those sources having been mentioned throughout this thread. Very little gratification back then was instant, so many of those sources were priceless treasures when acquired. I don't feel that the times were better or worse, merely different. There are times, though, when a resource like LSF can be almost overwhelming, with the plethora of material available.
For the most part my distaff counterpart and I ambled along in our own private little spanko relationship, writing stories for each other and keeping ourselves behind closed doors. In the 90's she found that there were people who put stories on the internet, and we were like kids in a candy store. I remember Castle Handyman, Pablo and Mija's Treehouse (or maybe Playhouse?), and Laura's Spanking Corner as the first places we discovered. Being a big fan of sci-fi, I became and equally big fan of Lurking Dragon's Rejuve Universe, and I recall some very good stories from Ginger in futuristic settings. I also recall Pablo, Corporal, and Rollin Hand authoring some stories that resonated back then in other settings.
There were many more, and I have no wish to offend anyone by leaving them out. There were also many very good stories I remember reading that were not credited. I know since joining LSF I did find one of those stories here in the library, and I was finally able to put an author's name to it. Sadly, I'm afraid that there are many good stories from back then that are probably lost forever.
