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!

Suggestions welcome!

"I SUGGEST you get yourself over my knee, young man!"
I'm very new to this whole "blog" thing, folks... both in posting content and designing the look and feel of the site.

If anyone has trouble navigating this place, or wants to make suggestions about how to improve Banjo's BBS technically, aesthetically or otherwise, please comment on this post with your ideas!

I also welcome suggestions for types of content I might not have thought of... however I've already got a lot of ideas planned for this place, so stay tuned!

The first week or so may be a bit "bumpy" as I get settled in, so please be patient with me as I learn the Blogger ropes and adapt to being back in the public spotlight again!

Please participate!

This site exists because I want to share my imagination and creations with you, so please take a moment to leave a thought, share an opinion, or start a discussion via the comments section under the items I post.

There are several ways to be a part of this site:

Leave a comment
Leaving a comment is easy:
Just look for the  icon to find the comment link or text box.

What should you say? Whatever you want! Give your thoughts on what I post, how you feel about an artwork or story, your opinion on an article or even discuss the comments of others who've given their thoughts before you.

I personally started out online as a 'lurker' (someone who frequents a site but never posts/interacts), and reverted to being one again during my 'online retirement' period. Trust me when I say that taking part is so much more fun and rewarding! There's no shame in staying 'silent' here, but if you're enjoying yourself, please do consider "de-lurking" and saying "hi"!

Feedback really is the best way you can say "thank you" to any artist or writer!

Click a reaction
Each post features the following 'reaction' checkboxes:

If you don't have time to write something, or just want to give a concise opinion as well as a comment, click on one (or more!) of these to make your opinion known. Choose from 'Hot!' (you find the item sexy), 'Ouch!' (that looks/sounds painful!), 'Scary' (that looks/sounds scary!), 'Funny' (you find it amusing), 'Like' (you like the item or agree with an article) or 'Dislike' (you don't like the item or disagree with an article).

None of these can replace an interesting comment, however!

Vote in the polls
I love polls, particularly spanking polls!

They're are a great way to give an idea of your opinions and background while remaining anonymous. There are several polls at the bottom of the blog site here, and others will be posted semi-regularly (just click the 'Polls' tab to sort them from the other posts).

If just choosing an option isn't enough for you, each poll post lets you comment too, so you can add clarifications or justification for your choice(s).

Send an email
I love getting emails and making new friends. If you want to say something that you feel is too long (or too "personal" for the blog's comment system, always feel free to drop me an email at banjosbbs@hotmail.com and I'll reply as quickly as I can.

If you don't get a reply, this almost always just means I'm super busy, and I will get back to you... I'll never ignore a nice email message!

Make a donation
Unlike traditional "pen and paper" art, computer-rendered artwork carries a real financial cost for 3D models and software. If you enjoy this site my work, you can always consider making a small donation to help me continue... or just buy me drink to say "cheers".

Please don't feel obligated, but every little bit does help!

Be nice
The Number One rule here, and the only one that will be 'enforced'.

Firstly, please respect my copyrights. I thought long and hard about returning online, and originally it was to have been a commercial site. In the end, though, I decided to display my work here for free, for everyone to enjoy. In return, I ask that you kindly don't remove my name from my work, attempt to charge money for it, or re-post whole "siterips" elsewhere.

Secondly, please be nice to each other when commenting and interacting around the site. Manners cost nothing, and the relative anonymity of the internet should not be an excuse to treat others poorly.
