New Contest : And A WHOLE BUNCH of Winners!

 

That’s right,

It’s contest time again. And this time, instead of giving away one single prize, I’m gonna give away a whole bunch.

We’re going to play a new game with the spanking story contest…

Ready?

THE PRIZES 

* EVERY  PUBLISHED ENTRY*  will win a prize!

And YOU get to decide who wins!

After all the entries are published, I’ll give you readers the chance to vote on your favorites.

 

 

 The three entries with the most votes will all receive a

free membership to DanaKaneSpanks.com for one month.

Every other published entry will receive

one video download of their choice from my current library.

 

(* Note : Every PUBLISHED entry will win a prize. If your entry does not subscribe to the rules laid out below then yours doesn’t get posted and you get squat. Deal? Good.)

 

THE CONTEST

 

 Usually, we do a ‘person, place, and thing’ type concept for the contest, but this time since I’m changing damn near everything else, let’s play around with this part too. Instead of person place and thing, we’re going to do

A Spanking Wish Come True

 

Your story should start with a character making a wish – on a star, while blowing out birthday candles, after rubbing a magic lamp…you get the idea. Then fill in your Wish Come True story any way you like, using any setting, as few or many characters as you like – and spanking.

It’s that simple – but don’t forget to read the rules, below.

 

 

THE RULES

  • If you write something dirty, use profane language, or are otherwise derogatory or insulting, your entry will not be published. Don’t waste your time writing or my time reading. (This, by the way, is determined absolutely subjectively and puritanically by yours truly.)
  • Don’t plagiarize.
  • If you enter your story that means that you agree to let me share it here and elsewhere.
  • Each entrant may only submit one story for consideration.
  • If you’ve been previously disqualified from taking part in contests on MsDanaKane.com, that disqualification still stands.
  • Contest entries accepted February 1, 2015 – March 15, 2015 (6 weeks-ish). Then I’ll post up all the entries and let you vote.

 

Email your story entries to me at DanaKaneSpanks@gmail.com.

 

What are you waiting for? Go write!

You asked for it.. (TUS)

 

Everyone,

Checking in with you quickly from my staycation, and quickly addressing the numerous (okay, only two, but still) requests for animal photos.

So this technically cannot be consider ‘forced viewing’, right? (Still, click each photo to see them full-size or I’ll come to your house and beat you up.)

 

 

 

 

And here’s a video of Buddy being weird, which is not at all unusual:

 

 

Scroll down, please..

Hey kiddos,

Sometimes there’s a post on the blog that’s ‘sticky’, which means that it’s gonna stay at the top of the page for a few days or a week or whatever. The new posts will always show up directly under that sticky post, so sometimes ya just gotta scroll past it. In the case of the ‘staycation’ post, for example, I had it ‘stuck’ to the front page for a few days to make sure everyone saw it, but the new posts were still going up – right underneath it. (It’s unstuck now, as it proved a bit confusing for some.)

 

Dig around a little – it’ll be fun.

*Staycation*Warning* Blogging Break Coming (and a New Product Testing video to soften the blow~)

 

Hey kiddos,

I’ll be taking a bit of a break from the blog for a few weeks. That’s not to say that I won’t be posting at all, but for the most part will be spending my time drinking coffee and trying to brush my cats, which they hate.

I’m also going to take a break from my inbox, so if you’ve written and it’s not an emergency…relax. I’ll get back to you soon. For the more enthusiastic emailers, please don’t write thirty-five times during my absence, as I’m only going to reply to one of ’em.

New stuff, mostly about spanking, will be back soon – soon as my Mac and I have returned from our staycation.

It looks like I came in second in the 2014 Female Spanker category – wedged pleasantly between Sarah Gregory and Pandora Blake. Not a terrible place to be, if you’ll agree.~~~

Favorite Flashback – love this shot!

Everyone,

While digging through a million-billion photos, looking for one particular shot (which I still haven’t found, by the way), I came across this great snap of the fabulous Ela Darling – post-spanking-court-spanking and holding the paddle I’d just broken on her very-marked bottom.

You can’t possibly enjoy the photo as much as I did giving the spanking, but it’s worth a share, anyway..

Everyone,

We talked the other day about forgiving ourselves, cutting ourselves some slack, and generally loving ourselves more. Okay, I talked about it, but hopefully a few were listening. (Oh wait. I know how to get people reading here to pay attention!)

 

SPANKING

 

Alright, back to the matter at hand : I’ve run across a ‘thing’ I wrote several years ago, back in the MySpace days, and before I was professionally bossing folks around (most of my life, it was just a hobby~~). I dunno whether it’s inspirational or not, but hopefully will give someone something to think about.

itll never heal if you keep picking at it

 

sometimes you have to scrape and scrape at a thing to really get at it

 

like fingernails digging into flesh scratching an itch that seems to run from touch

 

trying to rid the body of whatever it is that keeps burning from the inside out

 

have you ever scratched something even after it stopped itching

 

just because the scratching itself felt so damn good

 

?

 

guilt is similar to scratching an itch

 

ignore it and itll drive you to distraction

 

but pay it too much attention and youll end up with another open wound

 

 

Public Praise for my VBB!

Everyone,

If you’ve been around any time at all, you know who The Very Bad Boy and his Wonderful Wife are: great friends and playmates for years, and he with a particular penchant for naughtiness.

The Very Bad Boy has very little experience with ‘good boy’ spankings, which should be obvious by his nickname, although he’s not really bad – just a big teddy bear who can’t seem to keep himself out of trouble.

But I am beyond tickled to report that he has earned himself what will quite possibly be the Good Boy Spanking to end all good boy spankings!

Why, you ask?

How could this Very Bad Boy end up on my very best side?

 

Simple:

photo

 

These are two of the three cats he drove halfway across the country after the sad and unexpected passing of a loved one. With noplace else to go, and nobody else to care for them, these three cats would have, in most cases, ended up at the humane society – or just simply left outside to fend for themselves, after the passing of their sole owner. After our hero the VBB spent several days rounding up these naturally-skittish kitties, buying carriers, and carting them ‘cross country, he’s made sure that they are now safely (if not totally happily, just yet) ensconced in his home with his family and four dogs.

 

Whatever you’re doing right now, stop and think about that – would you have done it? Inconvenienced yourself beyond reasonability in order to help someone or something who can’t help themselves? Have you committed an act of selfless goodwill lately?

 

Compassion will get you Everywhere.

 

He doesn’t know I’m posting this, because I’m hoping he’ll stumble across it himself in a day or two and be as proud of himself as I am right now.

 

(You rock, my friend – and your WW, too, for being so very benevolent. I love both you madly, and this is just further reason. See you soon for that good boy spanking – and I’ll even let you choose the implements! I know, no Delrin..)

Tattle on yourself : Anonymous Spankworthy Deeds GAME

 Updated 12/21 : Due to overwhelming naughtiness, no more confessions will be accepted. We’ll revisit this game soon!

Readers,

I thought it would be fun to give you all the chance to ‘tattle on yourselves’ – tell me (and everyone else reading) what you’ve done to earn a spanking.

Maybe there’s something from thirty years ago that you still feel guilty about, or maybe it’s something you just did last night, but everyone’s done something that deserves being taken over the knee for a sound disciplinary spanking. I’d love to know what YOU have done…

…so let’s make it even more fun. Leave your ‘confession’ anonymously in the comments section, so that even I won’t know who you are, and you’ll be free to really tell the truth. Maybe it’ll even make you feel better to tattle on yourself a bit.

Then I’ll reply with your ‘sentence’ – what I consider the appropriate disciplinary action based on your confession. For example, if you stole a piece of bubble gum fifteen years ago, you’d likely be sentenced to a stern talking-to about the evils of stealing and a short but sharp OTK hand spanking. If, on the other hand, you committed grand theft auto yesterday,  your sentence would likely be 100 judicial cane strokes while fully bound.

Sounds fun, right? (Considering that you don’t have to endure an ACTUAL punishment, you can even act all tough and pretend that your sentence is ‘no big deal’, as I *know* some of you will.)

 

Alright, boys and girls, this one time…it’s Okay to Tattle, on yourself….

My maternal grandmother had this same paddle hanging on a nail on the wall, within arm's reach, behind her recliner.
My maternal grandmother had this same paddle hanging on a nail on the wall, within arm’s reach, behind her recliner. Being the absolute innocent angel I was (and am), I have nothing to confess.

 

–  Dana

 

* Before you get started, keep in mind that I will not publish any comment containing filthy language. Seriously. Stop it.

** Also, don’t email me privately to make your confession. If you can’t tattle on yourself publicly (albeit anonymously), then you don’t get to play.

*** Finally, please remember that this is a GAME – it’s not real life. My comments are meant to be taken with a grain of salt. Don’t go getting your ass on your shoulders.

You are Beautiful

 
Everyone (and I do mean everyone),

After a long conversation yesterday with one of my new friends, I couldn’t help going back to our exchange in my mind, all last evening. Without going into any specific detail, my new playmate is a sweet, gentle, beautiful, respectful, delightful person. She’s smart, well-educated, and has achieved much already in her first three decades. Like nearly every single person I’ve had the wonderful pleasure of meeting via this thing we call spanking, she’s a Good Apple. But there’s a problem:

 

She doesn’t love herself enough.

 

That’s not her fault; it’s the fault in the tools she’s been given to construct her self-image. And it’s not a singular issue, is it? How many of us has something(s) about ourselves which we simply cannot forgive? Are we too tall, too short, too skinny, too fat, too redheaded, too blonde, too freckly, too fair? Do we have scars, stretch marks, thinning hair, big feet, small hands, wrinkles? Do we feel inadequate – as partners, parents, friends…people? Are we underpaid, underappreciated – unloved?

Hell yes.

Every single one of us feels this from time to time. That’s called being human. But some of us feel it all the time – a prevailing sense of ‘not-good-enough-ness’ that no number of sunny days can relieve. We find ways to numb ourselves to our own thoughts, thereby cutting ourselves off from everyone else in the process.  Isolating. Finding ways to keep ourselves in that dark place because it’s the only place we feel comfortable.

That’s not our fault, either. Unless we don’t work, every day, to change our minds. Change our circumstances. Most importantly, change the way we look at ourselves.

 

Many times, I’ve asked my friends to stand in front of a mirror – looking into the reflection of their own eyes – and repeat things like, “I love myself.” You cannot imagine (or maybe you can) just how difficult these exercises can be. To look at oneself, not subjectively, but with unconditional love, is one of the hardest things most of us will ever accomplish. Usually, because we’ve not experienced enough of it – love without conditions, that is.

We’ll all talk much more about love, limits, self-care, and spanking for years to come, but today, there’s just one thing that I think ALL of you should know:

You are beautiful.

Conversations with Spankos : Ideally…

 

Fellow spankos,

I regularly ask my new playmates, especially those who’ve not experienced much (or any) spanking play before, “What’s been swirling around in your mind? What do you think about when you think about your ‘ideal’ spanking?”

This is a great question for all of us, I think. What, if given the choice to have it happen ANY way you want, would be your ideal spanking scenario? Doesn’t matter whether you’re a top, a bottom, or a switch, or whether the spanking that you consider the best would be given or taken, either. We all have a main fantasy I think – the one that plays most often in our heads – and I’m interested in yours.

Tell me about your ‘ideal’ spanking in the comments area, so that others can join in the Conversation.

Spanking PSA : Are you screwing up big-time right now?

Readers,

This isn’t really so much spanking-related as privacy-related, but since most of you would like to keep your spanking lives private, this may be advice you could use. I’m going to keep this simple for those of you with short attention spans:

 

Never send or receive ‘kinky’ email from/to your work-associated email address.

Why?

One word : LinkedIn.

Did any of you know that the above site is kind enough to send out a ‘join me on linkedin’ email to everyone on your email contacts list?

And did you know that I’ve received HUNDREDS of ‘join me on linkedin’ email invites over the past few years? From people from all different walks of life and a myriad of assorted professions, from CEO’s to carpenters to choir directors. All I’d have to do is click ‘accept’ and there you’d be, with your professional-looking linkedin profile, and little ol’ me showing up as your newest ‘contact’. Dana Kane – Professional Disciplinarian.

How many of you would really like me on your public list of business associates? Hmm……? Or how about any of the other folks you may or may not have emailed at 2am while perusing adult videos and maybe emailing someone you shouldn’t have? (I’m just saying…)

 

As much as I’d love to yell it from the rooftops that you’re all my closest and bestest spanko friends, I think it’s about time some of you pay a bit more attention to what goes where and to whom in the digital age. That is, if you care at all about keeping your secrets to yourself.

 

With love and concern for your common sense,

–  Dana

New UK legislation just made some of your favorite sites illegal

 

Yes, you read right. I’ve been reading Pandora Blake’s blog, Spanked Not Silenced, and am shocked and dismayed to read the following, excerpted:

 

“Today in the UK, the law changed regarding the sort of content that can be sold online as “video on demand”, to bring online regulations in line with the existing guidelines for the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification). Video on Demand (VoD) services are regulated by the Authority for Television on Demand (ATVOD), which restricts the types of sexual content that UK VoD distributors can provide. In other words, online porn sales are now subject to the same restrictions as DVD sales, and it is no longer legal to sell online anything which could not be classified by the BBFC as R-18.”

What does all that malarkey mean?…..

According to Pandora’s post, it means:

“Under the new legislation, UK distributors are no longer allowed to sell content depicting bondage and gags, fisting, public sex, age play, facesitting, urination, female ejaculation, and spanking and caning beyond that deemed “transient and trifling”.” (Wait, FEMALE ejaculation is illegal but male ejaculation is totally okay? That’s some seriously repressed thinking, said the caveman.)

 

Are you paying attention? Basically, what’s being said here, in LEGISLATION in the UK, is that sites like Pandora’s DreamsofSpanking.com and others like it are now breaking the law. Every minute they’re online. Not because of sex for the sake of sex, or because of any of the parochial things you’d assume, but because of this strangely arbitrary list. The really screwed up part is that you, the consumer, may still happily watch content made in other countries, like the U.S., but that your lovely neighbor Pandora and others in the UK will be targeted as criminals. In the meantime, and in usual politico fashion, they’ve made it terribly easy for producers to circumvent this law by simply moving their servers to a proxy country. What a waste of official seals.

Please take a few moments to read Pandora’s full post HERE – and write, tweet, vote your opinions. Are the people of the UK going to allow their government to censor their creative and sexual rights this way? I sure as hell hope not.

 

* This is no joke kiddos. The UK isn’t outlawing violent video games where you can rape a hooker or shoot an innocent pedestrian, they’re not making it illegal to film a gangbang bukkake scene where the girl is obviously distressed, but it’s now illegal to spank someone hard, film it, and sell it, in the UK. This is disturbing on SO many levels. Mainly because we here in the U.S. always view the UK as somehow ahead of us in the arena of sexual freedoms….I guess we were wrong.  Gratitude to Pandora for bringing this issue to our attention, and all my love and support to the men and women who’ll be fighting this ridiculous legislation tooth and nail.

“Brand Spanking New”

 

Readers,

 

As with most things, if I see the word ‘spanking’ I’m likely to pay a bit more attention. Here again is a case of semi-relation to our peccadillo, as one of our common English phrases contains the word which makes us all tingle:

 

“Brand Spanking New”

I found this recent article, posted on Grammarist.com, about the origins of the phrase (below copied directly from linked article):

 

The phrase brand spanking new means to be entirely new or recently created, and was first recorded in 1860. It evolved from the compound word brand-new and the phrase spick-and-span. Also, spanking, while the main definition is to hit someone on the butt, can also mean to move quickly. So one might say that a brand spanking new object was created quickly or appeared very fast. In truth, no one knows quite how it was coined or what it originally referred to.

This idiom is not officially recognized in most dictionaries, and as such does not have an official spelling. Most instances are hyphenated, since the phrase is used as a compound adjective. Though since hyphens in general are on the decline, an argument could be made for not using them. There are some publications which prefer hyphenating brand-spanking and not new, so that it is new that is being modified.

In the end, it is personal preference since this idiom is informal.

Example:

What better way to do it than whilst wearing a brand spanking new pair of kickers.

Although the example says ‘brand spanking new pair of kickers’, my spanko brain immediately turned the last word into ‘knickers’….works better my way, don’t you think?..

What better way to do it than whilst wearing a brand spanking new pair of knickers

Spanking Blogg is holding the 2014 Spanking Awards

 

Everyone,

‘The Chief’ over at Spanking Blogg is holding a fun nomination/voting for annual spanking awards. Seems that this is something another blogger has done in the past, but since they’ve apparently given it up, The Chief is going to be hosting the vote this year.

spanking awards
spanking awards

He’s asked that folks share the link so that he can get as many participants as possible, so click HERE to read the original post, and leave your picks in the comments section of his blog. I’m not sure how much longer you’ll be able to nominate your favorites, so get over there in a hurry if you want to participate. Otherwise, I believe that the actual voting comes after that, and there’ll be a reasonable period of time to vote.  The Chief says you can also email him your nominations if you don’t want to post your preferences publicly.

I’m going to add my votes now.~
