The following is a copy of an email I just sent to NTBB. I hope you will all understand and forgive me!


Dear NTBB,

I am writing to you to let you know that I am resigning as the “Headmistress” of the “Strange request” thread. I originally got involved with this thread as a way of exploring my sexuality, my likes, and my dislikes. One of the things that I rapidly discovered was that I like being told what to do sexually. I have truly enjoyed the challenges that I have completed and have been thrilled with the feedback I have gotten and the friends I have met here.

When I took on the role as assistant, it was ok because I still had you to bounce things off of and ultimately you were making the decisions. Then you asked me to step in for a short time as “Substitute Teacher” (my understanding was that it was to be until the Christmas holidays) but that you would be in touch with me via email to help me if I needed help. I have not gotten any emails from you in months. Then the holidays came and you returned. I was very happy, thinking and being told that you were going to step in at least through the holidays as “Teacher” again and I would have a chance to relax and maybe complete a challenge or two.

You really have not been around at all over the holidays except to send me 5 challenges, 2 of which were “Drop everything and do it now” challenges. I have done these for you to the best of my ability. I have also taken on a couple of challenges from looking4it, trying to maintain my picture thread, and trying to survive R/L. You had told me at the beginning to the holidays that there were a few things that you would do for me during your break like put together a standard list of questions to ask if a new person would like a challenge, and a bunch of challenges that I could have in reserve to use in challenging others. The break is almost over and I have seen nothing from you on either of these items and I have gotten very little response to my emails to you.

I am finding that I am not enjoying being “In Charge” of the thread, being the one who is the “Dom” type person telling others what to do and that doing that and creating challenges has taken time away that I might have been able to use to do some challenges myself. I need to get back to what I came to this thread for.

I hope that you will understand and that either you or someone else will be able to keep this thread alive. Even more than that, I hope and pray that all the other readers of this thread will understand why I am doing this. I just feel that I need to step back, turn over control of this thread and focus on some other things right now. I hope to still be able to complete a challenge now and then and would like to be able to post them here when I do, but if you would rather I not, just let me know.

I plan to post a copy of this letter to the thread to let everyone know what is going on. With luck, someone will step up willing to fill my shoes.

Good luck in all you do,
Nymphonan

Hey Nymph... fully understand what you're saying. You were an invaluable addition to this thread, and contributed something no-one else has managed to do. Thanks for all the accounts, pictures and challenges; one in a million

 

[Dragonheart00]

Another bump!

Nympho, I completely understand and am behind you as always (and what a great view it is too ).

There is absolutly no reason to be forgiven but if you are asking me to, I do. If you have any doubts about your decision, I have seen this coming for some time even if you hadn't and I think it is the right one for you. The many wonderful people here will all hold you and your many helpful accomplishments to our hearts.
You have been and are an intigal part of this thread.

ntbb, I do hope you or someone can keep this great thread going and I will continue to do what small things ( my almost daily bump) I am able to. I look forward to more exciting challenges and completions here.

BUMP!!

 

[MaverickMan]

I fully support your decision

Nan,
A big part of this thread and Lit in general is that one can enjoy themselves and have fun.

You have done so much to make this thread fun for everyone. And you have my heartfelt thanks for all you have done. But if it is no longer fun for you then retiring/resigning is the thing that you should do.

I wish you happiness and joy on Lit and in real life. And I will be spending lots of time, as always, on your photo challenge thread.

My Blessing And Best Wishes

Dear Erotic Friends,

I wish to offer my blessing to Nymphonan's decision
to focus on her own pleasure and erotic journey. She
has served wonderfully as "Headmistress" for this
thread. I offer my endless gratitude for all she has
done to create and delight all of us.

Those of you, who have read the entire thread, know
that Nymphonan and I, as well as others came here with
a need and desire to be challenged to be bad in
exciting and interesting ways. But, the thread grew
into something different and others began to ask for
challenges. Nymphonan and I have tried to offer and
support this as best we could. The results has been
that we have all experienced tales of incredible hot,
erotic adventures.

Back in September, I posted that because of challenges
with my teaching job and personal struggles of how
addicting being bad is for me that I would not be able
to active on the thread. Nymphonan has carried the
burden of daily maintenance of this thread by herself.
She has been amazing. But, neither she or I had any
thought of being dominant. We came here to be
submissive.

I do not know what will become of this thread. I do
know that Nymphonan and I can only offer occasional
gifts concerning sharing the story of our naughty
adventures.

If there is someone who wishes to offer to serve as
the one does the daily maintenance, they will need to
step forward and contact Nymphonan or myself.

As, to Nymphonan's request to understand and forgive
her. This is totally unnecessary. I ask as Teacher of
this thread that you follow my role model and offer
her only your utmost respect and love for all the
sweet hot gifts she has graced us with.

Thank you all for everything.

[Nymphonan]

Thank you so much NTBB for your understanding, your support and your encouragement. You and the others here, have given me so much and truly helped me explore who I am, my desires and my needs. I thank you all for that, but especially you NTBB. Without you and this thread, I might not have learned some very important lessons about myself.

 

[AlohaM48]

Nan, you have been incredible of the last months!!! You, and NTBB, have given all of us a great gift in the sharing of a very intimate part of your lives. We will always remember 2004 with fondness and respect for this thread. Hopefully, someone will step in as the Dom/Headmaster/Headmistress and we will continue our adventures in new and exciting ways. It would be a shame to see this thread, my favorite, to fizzle and go away. Whatever happens, thank you for everything and the best to you and NTBB for the new year.

Happy New Year to everyone on "A Strange Request"!!!!!!!!

Well, lets not let this thread fizzle then. We all have the means in which to keep this wonderfully hot and sizzling thread going. I myself have a challenge out for candygin, which she is currently working on and hopefully will report in in a few days. Till we get someone that can devote all the time and effort into guiding and cultivating this thread, I think we all should do what we can as individuals to do so.

Happy New Year, One and All

Hope you all have a HOT---WET---NASTY---& NAUGHTY ONE

Making an offer

Well if Dragonheart will continue his bumps, I'll put forth an idea.

There does need to be a main person to coordinate challenges and to recieve responses when posting directly is impractical. Nymphonan did an amazing job of that and truly made this thread great.

I would volunteeer to be a sort of middle man. Send challenges etc to me, and as people are in need of them I can assign as warranted and help get them on line asap.

We can see how it goes and what happens maybe it will work, or not.

But here's to 05 either way.

Salvor-Hardon, Am glad you are willing to be so involved. May I suggest you PM need-to-be-bad and get the information you might need from her. I am sure she would help get you started.

Thanks for stepping forward to take the position left open here in this wonderful thread.

Another bump for this great thread.

BUMP!!

 

[Salvor-Hardon]

Here's hoping.

Thank you so much for stepping up and taking over for me. I will answer questions for you as I can and as they come up. I hated the thought of this thread dying.

Just a bump for now!

BUMP!!

 

[Salvor-Hardon]

Thank you Nymphonan.

I have been pm'ming with ntbb as I would like her "blessing" as well as yours for me to be "administrative staff" perhaps Dean, since Headmistress and Principal are taken

By no means do I think I can or ever could do the job by myself. I see myself more as a cab dispatch person. Taking challenges in, and assigning them to people as best fits levels of security, sexuality and challenge. A professional stripper would find some challenges too easy that a professional accountant would find challenging and vice versa.

But I do not want to "take over". I am the facilitator, it is teh creative ideas and thoghts of the people of this thread that make it the funit is. NTBB, Nymphonan, and so-very-bad have done exceedingly well and I hope to live up to their standards and keep them challenged as well.

I think you would agree that this thread is hardly a personal ad. Hence it is now in the PG.

I've been to the personal ad forum...since when is everything there an ad?

I've been to the personal ad forum...since when is everything there an ad?

I would have to agree whole-heartedly with that comment. I know of several threads on the personals that are even less of an ad than this thread is! At least this one was and still is asking/ advertising for challenges in order to expand our sexual limitations.

Teacher’s Announcement

I have been asked for my blessing in accepting Salvor-Hardon’s offer to take over the management of this thread. I have included in this post my thoughts and his response, so everyone will know why I am impressed with his continuing to help other be as bad as they can be.

So, this is my official notice that Salvor-Hardon is now know as the Dean of Naughtiness of this thread and will assist anyone who wants to challenge themselves with erotic adventures.

Salvor-Hardon,

These are my thoughts concerning your offer to step up and keep things alive on the strange request thread.

The first is that when I started the thread I was looking for something special. At first, it was to have some people help me be bad. I was met by a lot of hard and at times dark energy. People who wanted to be very dominating and shaming in how they related to me and others. I found their energy to be very negative and it didn't attract me.

What did attract me was people who offered me creative, spicy adventures which I felt I could be inspired by and that I could expand upon to make even more hot and sexy and behave even naughtier than expected. What I have tried to offer others in the challenges I have given is to create something that would get them so hot and turned on that they couldn't resist wanting to be bad and enjoy the intensity of the pleasure.

I felt that Nymphonan, carried on the tradition of this thread upholding these values.

Salvor-Hardon, I don't know much about your spirit or your intentions.

I do know that my wish is that this thread if it is to continue is maintain this spirit of playfulness and intention of inspiring people rather than being intent on forcing people to do things and be mean spirited.

I don't know where this fits in the world of doms and submissives, but it is what I have to offer you as a response to your wanting to continue the thread.

I don't know how much say I have in this because I can not be active on the thread more than being an observer and occasionally stopping by. I have had to make a clear choice between exploring being bad and my career as a teacher. My job is pretty all consuming most of the time.

Salvor-Hardon, I guess if you are asking for my blessing in your serving the thread, I would like a hear a response to the values and intent I have shared with you about the conception of all this. Do you have a desire to inspire, entertain, and challenge people in both a caring and wickedly supportive way ? Do you think I ask too much ?

need to be bad

Dear ntbb,

I understand completely your thoughts and feelings in your response. The ideas of dark energy were evident in the first pages, people doubting your honesty as well as people seeking to take advantage of your desires and intentions. I am glad you persevered through that and that Nymphonan did uphold a positive fun, entertaining mood for the challenges.

My intention is to do just that, to keep going what you and Nymphonan started by keeping it lively, keeping the challenges entertaining as well as arousing. You have one example of the challenges I am capable of, and I can supply more if you desire.

Yes to some extent I am seeking your blessing and Nymphonan's as well. When a woman is in charge things have a lighter feel and go smoother. For a man to come in and "take control" would be more of the neandrethal machismo ideas that lead to darker energy and less fun.

My intention more clearly would be to act more as a director, think along the lines of a dispatch agent at a cab company. People send in ideas and challenges which I can then match to people wanting to accepting them, matching as best I can challenges with people.

Arrogant as I may be I realize that one person can not do all of the design and thinking of challenges to handle what we all hope to be the influx of readers accepting challenges.

But I do want to see this thread continue and be a place for people to come in, smile slyly to the world around them, and know that underneath whatever face they show the world, there is a community like them that enjoys a naughty thrill once and a while.
