In May (I think it was) you were talking as though you might keep C.S.R. going for one more year and then call it quits.
I don't know if that's still your plan, but I know that this thing can't go on forever.
Whenever C.S.R. does come to an end, I think that will also be the end of O.T. Katie. Actually, i never really thought my silly little strip would've lasted as long as it has.
On the O.T. Katie thread, Solsunbeach suggested that before C.S.R. and Katie come to an end, I should do a finale piece that would reunite all the guys who have ever given Katie a spanking.
From you, I have two requests: the first one is that, whenever the time comes to end C.S.R. you give me enough warning that I can post my final O.T. Katie strip (which I haven't started on yet).
Secondly, do you have any suggestions for what you'd like to see in a concluding Katie story? (I'm thinking that one thing you'll ask for will be Katie bent over a chair or a desk, instead of her usual, and titular, O.T. K. position.)
Do you have any wardrobe preferences? I usually try to dress Katie in an outfit that is appropriate to her situation, such as a business suit for the office, or a nightie for the bedroom. Also, I always want Katie to look sexy. I think my own favorites have been the school-girlish pleated skirts, the bustier and stockings that she wore for her stunt-woman gig, and her Evil Katie bodysuit. Is there anything you especially want to see her wear again... or something she's never worn that she should?
I'd like to hear from you especially, as Katie's host for the past ten years. And anyone else that has an opinion is welcome to speak up.
Hi B00m,
First, thanks for doing
O.T. Katie all these years - it's been an immense boon to
CSR 
, especially during those periods we didn't have much else to offer. I'm sorry I haven't yet seen
solsunbeach's comments on the OTKatie thread, but the truth is I just haven't been able to follow it because of time constraints. I'll get over there as soon as I can.
Second, I'm sorry for any confusion about my plans for the long-term future of CSR. Last May I was very deeply depressed by a number of things, and while I've made a partial recovery, I don't believe things for me will ever be as they were - not that they were ever all that great. Part of this is simply the result of growing older (which I think is also responsible for the decline of interest in spanking many of us seem to be experiencing), part is personal misfortune and accumulated grief, and part is having to stand by and watch as the wheels fall off of Western civilization. In writing about these things at the time, I think I wasn't clear enough in expressing my desire that CSR should continue.
And that
is my intention: to continue CSR as long as I'm able and even to try to make some provision for the site after I'm gone. Some confusion may have arisen when I mentioned two things, that I had "paid the rent" on CSR (domain name and web hosting service) for another year, and that
Richard Windsor had spoken of continuing his blog for at least another year. As a matter of fact, I believe that more recently Richard has indicated he intends to go on with his blog beyond that point. More to the point, I have no plans to end CSR during my lifetime; if during some period of time in the future I become unable for any reason to do updates to the main site I at least hope to "pay the rent" so that both the main site and this board would continue to be available to CSR readers. If I'm
forced to end the site (say by a lawsuit or something), I'll give you and the readers as much warning as I can.
As to what happens when I'm not here any more, well, that's complicated legally. CSR is owned by a corporation which in turn would presumably be put into a trust by what is called my "pour-over will," all of which makes me sound like a wealthy man when I'm not. (I must be the poorest corporation and trust owner in history
). As a practical matter, since no one but me knows the details of my account with
glob@t.com or has the password to pay the bills there, CSR's new owners (if they even knew that as trustees they were in fact the owners) would be unable to renew the site and it would eventually disappear, which as you may remember is what happened with
Underground Animations when Jon (UASketcher) passed away. His friend Cynthia and I were prepared to continue the site but because I couldn't crack his password she couldn't pay the bills. Let's hope I can eventually find that younger disciple I've been talking about for years to take over CSR when the time comes.
So
O.T. Katie will have a home here at least as long as I'm alive and you want to continue doing the strip. I hope that moots the question of her final appearance for a while since we all love the strip, but if you do decide to end it, my basic thought is that her final episode should embody the essence of what we've loved about it all these years: the inevitable spankings for Katie that she is sometimes the last person on earth to see coming, the OTK position (although one bent-over paddling scene like the one you did for me several years ago would not be amiss
), some old, familiar characters (and perhaps a new one as well). As to wardrobe, there I have no suggestions; follow your creative instincts in that area and I think everything will be fine.
Therefore, I've decided to extend SSS one more week, which also allows me to present the spankings I discovered while researching last week's Dr. Bong/Fifi/She-Hulk spank fest. In keeping with the policy I adopted a while back, the M/M one won't be linked to from here or the Home Page, but anyone who's interested can find it easily. As for the M/F scene, it's not particularly good on its own but the spankee's identity (I didn't realize myself who she was at first) represents a tremendous Missed Opportunity, as you'll see.
