Interview with the Author: GuySpencer How did you get started writing spanking fiction? For me, reading spanking fiction and writing spanking fiction are intimately mixed.The very first spanking fiction I ever discovered was a pamphlet I stumbled across in a adult book store in New York City back in the 60's. It affected me very deeply. Nearly 50 years later, I still remember that story. I went back and bought more little books, perhaps 6 in all. I kept them throughout my bachelorhood. Those, and the letters in Penthouse Magazine, were the entirety of the spanking literature I had access to until the invention of the Usenet. All those years, I would make up detailed spanking scenarios in my mind, but would never dream of writing them down. After all, someone might discover them and read them! Then along came computers, and later bulletin boards, the Usenet, and the Internet. Now I could find spanking stories to read, but they varied drastically in quality and genre. Further, some sites were very static, with the same collection of stories for years at a time. Gradually I figured out that computers made it OK for me to actually commit my spanking stories to writing. I could put them on a floppy disk and tuck the disk away, and nobody would be the wiser. It was a very satisfying outlet. Finally, I began to occasionally release stories on the Usenet, but few noticed as I was never a regular. My stories gradually began to find traction on the Internet, but in no particularly organized way. Then came the LSF and you know the rest. Where do you find inspiration for your stories? The answer to that is pretty specific, and perhaps so simple that it's boring. Most of my stories are born in my sleep. I wake up with them in my head. Some are worth writing down, some not. If I don't write them down within a day or two, they're gone forever.My "sleep writing" isn't just a spanking thing either. In my college years, some of my best academic papers were born that way. Occasionally, a story will come to me some other way. You can almost pick them out because they will be different from the others. "Reptile Dysfunction" is an example of one of those. I had the inspiration for that story from the sight of a poor dead iguana at a nearby lake. I wrote the story the same day. When you write, do you ever model any characters after actual people? Not usually, though some of my elementary school faculty members have appeared, particularly in my two "gym" stories. I will never forget our Principal, Mrs. Kielander. She was a real spanker, but she was also a kindly old lady who loved cats. The one time she really had me dead to rights, and shaking in my knees, (I had done something truly shameful. We both knew I deserved a spanking) she let me off with a token slap on the palm with a ruler. Also, some of my stories have real-life settings, usually from my childhood. My story "Knotty Pine" describes an idealized version of my childhood bedroom. And that scrap of knotty pine left over from the building of my bedroom that my father used as an impromptu paddle? That was real. Do you have a favorite story that you've written? I guess this is my cue to plug something, but sorry! My favorite story is a moving target, and varies from day to day. Often, my favorite story is the one I wrote last, or the one I'm writing now.A favorite genre? Probably M/f, but that's subject to change. I write in whatever genre pleases me that day. My reading is more eclectic; I can enjoy reading most any spanking genre.What are your views on spanking fan fiction? As a writer, I've simply never had the urge. I'm a lifelong bookworm, but haven't read Harry Potter, and watch little television. I doubt if that makes me unique here. Why am I saying that? To point out that LSF readers my not be familiar with "fan fiction" characters and settings. For the LSF audience, it's perhaps best to take the time to introduce characters so that each story can stand on its own. When writing a longer story, do you plot out the detail in advance, or make it up as you go along? Usually I just "wing it". Sometimes I start with a very rough outline and then overwrite it as I go. I do edit and rewrite extensively before I release a story. I'm a great believer in letting a story "age" before proofreading. That way I can re-read it almost as if it had been written by someone else. It's amazing the errors I find that way!Name some stories by other spanking authors that you like, and say why. Now I wish I had done my homework better! I love to find "underappreciated gems" in the library, often by obscure authors. Our new "story of the week" feature is a great way to bring these deserving works to the attention of others. I hesitate to offer a list of stories, because that means I will have to leave many worthy authors out. Therefore I will confine my remarks to a single story. "Accepting The Unfair" by Placid is appropriately high on the LSF's "Most Favorites" list. Yet the author is a total cipher (at least, to me) having only that one story in the library. If I were forced to pick one story in the whole library to call my favorite, there it is! I love the father's approach. He assaults his daughter not with abuse, but with layer upon layer of unassailable logic. He even basically agrees with his daughter's viewpoint, but not her expensively destructive actions. This is a beautifully written domestic spanking story. The almost-woman is the perfect age. She has deliberately misbehaved, and is old enough for her father to lovingly but firmly compel her to accept the full range of consequences, which go far beyond mere corporal punishment. She is forced to confront her choice of friends, and measure them against her own principles. Some may find the depicted punishment a bit severe, but it is free of overt sexual references and the father delivers it with undeniable love. In Conclusion: I am so thankful for the LSF and all the people who work so hard to keep it going. It is definitely the biggest thing that has ever happened in the spanking fiction world. I hope it (and our stories) can survive for generations after we have all departed. It's our best shot at spanko immortality! 16 comments
