Bared Affair Revisited The much loved and greatly missed, somewhat revolutionary f/f spanking webzine Bared Affair was the brainchild of its editrix, a lady who was known to her many readers and staff alike as Angie Heart. Angie, while totally straight in her sexual orientation, was fascinated by the concept of females spanking other ladies. To that end she discovered an all f/f spanking fiction group on Yahoo and joined it. Over time Angie got to know the owner of the group and started to become interested in running her own group. She confessed that she didn't think she could write full length stories, but started to think about writing news type articles about the practice. The lady who would become editrix was a fan of the American satirical publication The Onion, and she determined that her project would be as close to The Onion as she could make it. She joined a number of spanking groups and among them was the free spanking fiction website that would become SIN. Angie set about recruiting her writers from these groups, and I know from personal experience that once she set her mind to getting a writer she didn't rest until they had agreed to at least attempt a piece. I first encountered Bared Affair when Angie posted it broken into its various articles on SIN. Not everyone there understood the concept. I know for a fact that the site owner didn't. I started posting replies to the articles and letters and Angie and I began a friendship. We engaged in mutual admiration. I started sending my work to Angie before I posted it at SIN, and she started to ask me to write for Bared Affair. I was hesitant. It wasn't that I didn't want to, it was more that I didn't think I had the ability to write in that style, nor could I match what the other writers did so well. After being harassed by Angie for a while I started to give it some serious thought and I had an idea that wouldn't fit for a story, but it would work as an article. I believe that first one was about the pros and cons of various spanking implements. Angie loved it and it drew a good response from the readers. From the time I joined the staff, Angie made me an assistant editor, and I did occasionally edit articles, generally ones I had solicited, and I was also a judge of the annual story contest, and Angie had ambitious plans for expansion. She added more writers and categories, she implemented the story contest. The 'zine seemed to be going from strength to strength. At the height of its popularity it all crashed down. This was in April, and it was some years ago now.  Thinking back on it, it was rather surreal. I was in touch with Angie via email, quite apart from what I used to write for the 'zine. I suspect a number of the writers were actually. She had experienced some health difficulties and this had impacted the production of the 'zine a little. In that last edition, the April one, she had announced plans to make Bared Affair a twice monthly affair. She had enough material to do so, barely, but I thought it was rather too much for what was essentially a one person operation. The 'zine had a full roster of writers, but it was shifting and at times Angie did struggle to find enough to fill the pages and get it out on schedule. In that same issue she made an April Fool's Joke about it being the last one. A number of the members on the Yahoo Group did laugh about it and suggested sending Angie for a spanking. To this day I don't know what really happened, but that issue was the last one.It's been missed ever since and left a void in the spanking literature community that to this day has not been successfully filled. 32 comments
