New Features

So, here's my thing:

I'm hoping to get back on track with regular updates here again as of this week, and part of my plan is to include a lot more "non-art" stuff over time to this blog. I'm sick of feeling like every other post is me apologizing for not posting more often, so I was thinking last night about ways to help solve that.

Making new art (even cleaning up old pieces) and writing stories is very time consuming and demanding. However, taking an hour or so to write up a quick post on some fun spanking-related topic is a lot less effort, so I can do it much more often.

Please don't worry! This certainly doesn't mean I'll be posting any less of my art here, but it does mean that I'll be able to post more often, with other spanking-related material... which I hope readers here will see as a "good thing".

Some of the planned new semi-regular 'features' are listed below, so you can get an idea what I'm thinking (and give me feedback on them too):

• Quick Fantasies - Done in this style, these would be quick (but hopefully-still-sexy) crosses between a short story and a horny rambling. Rather similar to the stuff I write under my art posts, but without actual art... so I can write on any random fantasy that comes to my mind at a whim. Also could include random naughty thoughts sometimes sparked by the most vanilla and unexpected moments in everyday life.
• Starstruck Dreams - Getting somewhat "back to my roots" (for those who remember), this would be me taking a look at a female celebrity I fantasized about being spanked by, reasons why, and imagining what it would be like. Also, a chance to blog about my pathetic tendency to drop to my knees submissively every time I see a picture of Angelina Jolie or Catherine Zeta-Jones. Who do YOU want to be spanked by? (ahh, my old Starstruck tagline!)
• Moments In Spanking - These mini-articles would cover very specific "snapshots" of spanking "moments", such as "the moment underwear comes down", "the moment the spanking is announced", "the first swat", "the 'oh noo!' moment" or "the post-spanking dance".
• Back In Time - Similar to 'Starstruck Dreams' above, but this time I'd look at 'retro' fantasy spankers, old movie actresses and such. If I had a time machine, would I go back to avert wars or cure plagues? No, that's far too risky! Far safer to just nip back and annoy Audrey Hepburn circa 1961 until she upends me over her elegant lap! And I can't be the only one who thinks that the 1980's (all that big hair and spandex) and spanking go perfectly together, can I?
• Fictional Spankings - Sometimes I'm watching a movie and I find myself wanting to be spanked by a female character onscreen, not just the actress. Sometimes, I'm watching a TV show and I find myself thinking "that guy really needs a spanking... and I know just the character who should give him one!" (also known as the 'Terra Nova' Effect).
• Red Hot Reviews - Me reviewing commercial spanking videos, websites, books and audios. I've wanted to do this more and more of late, after discovering what I consider some real "gems" that few seem to know about. Do you value, trust or even care about my opinion? Would the words of "I'm Banjo, and this is my favourite spanking website on the internet" make you want to patronize that site, video or book?
• OMG! It's a Reversal! - Ever watch an F/F or M/F video, read an F/F or M/F story or see an F/F or M/F artwork and think "Damn, I just wish that had been F/M instead!"? No? Only me? Well, this would be me taking a look at some video or artwork I've seen and saying "how could this play out in F/M?" I know a fair few of my readers are X/F fans too, so I'd be open to "recommendations" from those folks for potential material here.
• Girl Power! - Basically, this is where I gush like a fanboy over a real-life woman who's awesome. Maybe she's a real historical figure like Boudicca or Ann Bonny (*swoon*), or maybe she's a smart and sassy fellow blogger or professional domme or spanking model who's ultra-cool. After all, this site isn't just about spanking, it's about female empowerment and spanking!
• Why We Spank - Each article here would cover a single reason - real or fantasy-based - for a common spanking scenario, how I feel about it, how "cliche" they are in spanking fiction/media, etc. Examples include: "poor grades at school", "late home from work", "acting like a spoiled brat", "caught peeping", "shoplifting" and of course the nasty old standby "masturbating". Is a cliche spanking a bad spanking, or do the 'classics' never get old?
• Select Your Weapon - This would be a series of articles dedicated to individual spanking implements. While similar to what Aunty Andrea did here and here (though obviously less sexy coming from me!), this would hopefully provide a place for readers to comment and chime in on each implement and their own views on it too.
• Assume The Position - a look at specific spanking positions in my own long-winded rambling style. Obviously done before elsewhere many times, but - like the implement overviews - this would hopefully spark reader discussion here, too.
• Game Grrl Spankers - Most of you know that I'm a gamer, right? Well, how can I not cover the hottest pixel-and-polygon gals a naughty geek like me can't help by have spanky thoughts about. And no, it's not just Lara Croft (though okay, yeah, she does top my list).
  
• Spanking Software - how much do you know about the spanking games and software programs that exist? Did you know there's a program that can give you virtual spankings? Or one that simulated a trip to the Headmistress' office? That's the sort of thing these articles would cover, including links to download when (as in most cases) the software was freeware.

I hope at least some of those sound cool to a few readers. Again, all this would be in addition to my art and short stories, not instead of!

I'd value your feedback on which you'd like to see the most, as well as any other 'feature' ideas you may have. I'm also open to alternative 'titles' for these, if you have better ideas let me know (some titles I really like, others I'm pretty "meh" on and consider only placeholders).

The only catch to all this is, if I'm posting shorter pieces, especially ones like 'Great Moments In Spanking' which are designed to spur discussion, it will require readers to get involved a bit in the comments sections of those articles. But as you know, that's all I really ask of you here anyway, and hopefully you'll enjoy these posts enough that you'll want to comment and reply!

So, what do you folks think? Want more posts more often? Like these ideas? Let me know in the comments below. Remember, it's for you that I keep this blog going and do what I do!
