I have been a wife and mother for over twenty years. Now I am becoming my husband's lover, too.
We owe it all to my fellow bloggers who gave me the courage to come out to my husband as a spanko.
I do feel like this is a New Beginning for us.

All good things must come to an end

Long, long ago a blogger known as Tiggr suggested to her friends in blogland that we each write a short spanking story and send them to her. She would then post one each week and let us guess which of our friends had written it. I hadn’t been blogging long and the idea scared me to death. I wanted to be part of it, but I’d never written fiction and I didn’t think I could. But not wanting to be left out I gave it a try, and who knew?  I could write fiction!

Tiggr kept this new idea, Fantasy Friday she called it, going for about a year. When she decided to leave blogging she offered the idea to me to see if I wanted to continue it. I told her no because I just didn’t think people would send me stories. But after giving it some thought I decided I wanted to try it. I changed it from a guessing game to just a place where the average person could write a story and have it posted.

I did have many people send stories – many of these people have since become some of my best friends ever! And there are still a handful of blogs that began by me pestering them to keep writing and join us.

But as the title said, all good things must come to an end and that time has come for Fantasy Friday. During 2016 I received only seven new stories – and thank you for those who did write for us, but it’s hard to fill fifty-two Friday’s with seven stories. I feel like I’ve done enough re-runs. I don’t want anyone to feel deprived so feel free to go back in my archives. I began hosting Fantasy Friday in October 2007 and I’ve only missed a Friday or two since then so it should be easy to find them.

Now it’s the every Friday I’m stopping – but I would never want to discourage anyone who has been thinking of writing a story, but just never got around to it. I will  be delighted to post any new stories I get. Occasionally I'll ask for stories and if I get any we'll have a ‘New Fantasy Friday’ post. So no one has missed a chance to write and I hope you’ll consider it. If you are willing to write for us send your story to elisspeaks@yahoo.com  I’d be happy to hear from you.

    1. I hope I do too. I love Fantasy Friday and don't really want to give it up - but there are no stories coming in. If that changes I'll bring it back!

  2. Hi PK. I'm going to miss Fantasy Friday. Thank you for bringing it to us every week. Also for the privilege of being able to write my four stories for you over the last 18 months. I keep meaning to write again then lose my nerve.

    Hope you do receive some new stories from someone out there in blogland, but as you say all good things must come to an end.

    Hugs Lindy xx

  4. The end of an era - so sorry to see it go but everything changes, doesn't it. FF is what led me to you and blogland and obviously my writing. Thank you for everything but the friendship most of all.

  5. PK - FF has been going for so long - so it's sad to see it go. Thank you for hosting it PK. Abby is right, if it wasn't for you some people wouldn't be blogging today.

    Love,

  6. PK, all good things must come to an end sometime but I'm sorry there'll be no more regular FF. I'm grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to try out my writing skills through a few FF stories. It was way out of my comfort zone but fun too.

  8. Oh gosh PK, I still remember my lurking days and the joy of reading FF. Of course there was that special day I emailed you. What fear and also joy I felt after I penned my own FF.... and a few more after. You were so kind and supportive. I understand why it's chNged but hope someone will penn a story now and again! You are so good to us!

  9. Aw, I will miss FF SO much but can certainly understand it can't happen without stories. I hope some of the talented writers will be able to help it get back up and running. So appreciate everything you do.

    1. I think it brought in many of my friends. That's why I held out as long as I did. Maybe some will start writing now.
