Here’s Looking At You

This week I’m going to take it easy. I was so very sick last week that I had to postpone any writing because I just couldn’t put my words together into sentences. That means that this week’s posts aren’t written. I had the worst chest cold or bronchitis or something but holy cow did it knock me on my butt. I’m still feeling icky but it’s getting better so next week aught to go off without a hitch.

Anyway… have you ever wanted to write for Submissive Guide?

This is your chance! If you have ever had something to say or an opinion to share, this is the week you can do it! I’m taking anything you have. There are no word requirements, no topic limitations, nothing special to limit you.You can tell me how much you like or hate the site, you can comment on a post you read here or elsewhere. You can submit your best blog post to me (no scening or sex please). It’s a free for all!

Please keep in mind that this is an educational site when you submit your work, I’d like to keep it from getting pornographic or erotic.

Anyone want to do a review of the Wants and Needs ebook from the Newsletter subscription?

Submit it to me via email (subguide@gmail.com) and I will post it just as soon as I see it.

This is open for the week of 9/14/09 only! So, what do you have to say?

Simply Service

A once-a-month newsletter/e-zine written for service oriented people, by service oriented people in M/s, D/s or Leather relationships.

Current contributors are all slave or submissive identified, and in real time relationships where obedience and service are necessary, valued skills, achieved over time. I have been fortunate enough to meet these lovely people all over the country, and have delighted in great conversations, where we sometimes agree, and sometimes disagree, but are bound by a mutual respect of each other’s choices. Occasionally, words from the “other side” might be included as well, as many perspectives will be represented.

Many current contributors are active in their own local leather communities, as well as maintaining relationships, homes, jobs and more. We know it can be a balancing act. We know it isn’t pretty all the time. We’ll be sharing our stories, tricks, tips, lessons learned (easy and hard), mistakes, and human foibles.

Every possible relationship combination will be represented, as this is about service, and can transcend gender and role orientations. Contributors are encouraged to write about issues they are currently facing, and as such each issue may go in a number of directions. The thought of “theming” issues has arisen, and is on hold at this time to allow for freedom of expression and creativity as this project finds a niche of its own. Philosophy, skill training, methods, and more may be examined.

Simply Service Groups on the Web

Yahoo Group: Simply Service
FetLife Group: Simply Service

Contributions will be accepted and reviewed on a per submission basis for addition into a future issue. Please include a bio, and any references you have and send submissions to msolympusleather2003@cox.net.
