Barbara Hambly,

Edgar Rice Burroughs,

Mercedes Lackey,

Timothy Zahn. You get the picture... and lets not forget many Many comic writers, artists, and just many more brilliant people. Then, in the late 90's, I heard a word for the first time...`Fanfiction`. Because its the written word that Does get my motor going.

First were the engines: excite, hotbot, altavista, there were others... Didn't matter, I used what got me results, and my first search was 'Buffysmut'. Boooommm is the only way to explain it, but I'm getting to it. I realized rather later (see years!!!) I Had found some self-bondage stuff from a gal named `Swift`.



Funny thing is --

So, somewhere in the 2000's, just what do you all think was the first search link `LISA` followed?? Gromet's plaza? Gaggedutopia? The Kirsten Archives? What about you, good readers? What was The first story You read?

Wait, this was??? HEY, Congrats with going with true Quality!!! Funny thing is -- www.selfbound.net/storiessz/te… has a copyright from 2008??? I read it online, as it is, something like '97 or '98. Same for TERRI's stuff; also, back in the 90's.So, somewhere in the 2000's, just what do you all think was the first search link `LISA` followed?? Gromet's plaza? Gaggedutopia? The Kirsten Archives?

There's a few places I could post my current thoughts, and also considered them as a `reply` to _ smithca1988 _ from their 22 May post, but I'll start off fresh.As Other characters here on Sunstone have tried to tell their friends (like Cassie to Anne in V2), do NOT just jump on the Internet and into BDSM images.... `it Might stunt your growth`. I had seen one or two hardcore mags at around '79, '80, maybe 81... and had snuck a couple X-rated dirty paperbacks from my mom's dresser also around that time. But I was tooo young to really see in my mind what the fuss was. I Was already rubbing them out for awhile anyway (hello, guy here), but pictures are pictures, and when I was old enough I could look and look and look... oh, a lot like Lisa. But those well really 3 paperbacks? I can still close my eyes and just let them drift through my brain. Certainly can't remember even what the chapters were with Any accuracy, but their overall feel? Oh, yeah. I went into the service, and again, you only share what you're willing to.... which isn't anything. As people, period, we're a damned judgmental lot.Sure, I'm reading Brian Daley and Elizabeth AnnThere was also the Big one for a Lot of people: Terri and Jennifer
