I made a thing.

It's a riff on this meme, referencing the recent hostility towards NSFW creations and creators.

What happens next to Spanking Theatre?

Tumblr is destroying what once made it so great.

This is a massive shame, and a source of personal sadness. For several years, Tumblr was a community I was honoured to be part of, the support of those kind readers who stumbled across my early work encouraged a period of extraordinary creativity.

Those stories will live on, if not at a Tumblr address, then someone else. In its place, we’ll build something even better. I shall shortly start deleting any posts featuring images of nudity, and convert this site into a text-based blog. This might save this blog from deletion, but it’s likely erotica posts will be made private, disappearing from your feed, ultimately to become inaccessible.

So, for erotic content creators like myself, it is time to plan our migration.

If you’d like to continue following Spanking Theatre, I’d recommend you do the following:

1. Years ago I created a backup blog at spankingtheatre.wordpress.com, the archive of all my past posts will continue to live there. I’d encourage you to bookmark it, and if you’re a Wordpress user, you can follow me there. I just need to tidy up the navigation. I should start posting new content there in the new year.

2. If you’re a Twitter user, you can follow me at @spankingtheatre - this is a good channel for news, announcements and content I’ve retweet, I tend to focus on the psychology of eroticism, sex-ed and sexual confidence.

3. If you’re a Medium user, I’ve recently been cross-posting some of my stories to medium.com/@spankingtheatre. The minimalist aesthetic is quite conducive to reading so you might want to follow me there.

4. If you’re a FetLife user, you can find me at fetlife.com/users/1661198, I haven’t been particularly active here, but I might start posting there more often if it gets a new lease of life from Tumblr refugees. Feel free to send a friend request, mention your tumblr username if I know you!

5. Reblog this post, help spread the word to your fellow readers, and together we’ll meet again on the other side, and build something even more wonderful.

The story will continue.

The theatre between your ears will endure.

Will you join me on a brand new adventure?

#pornocalypse

I’ll be sharing what’s saved in my drafts over the next few days for the few of us that are left... 

(or at least I’ll be sharing what isn’t dirty dirty porn)

Hi there, fellow survivors.

“Your goddamn protest is #$%^ing stupid. You think a bigass corporation gives a shit what you want?”

“Really you #$%^ers are making a big deal out of this of all goddamn things? Not that there’s a #$%^ing meteor going to kill us all or something.”

“Well look at all the goddamn kiddies crying about their #$%^ing porn being taken away. Time for you to resort to stealin’ your daddy’s dirty magazines like all #$%^ing kids used to do.”

An Importance Notice

This is an important notice for readers of this blog, especially those who don’t have a Tumblr account.

As of July 5th, Tumblr is going to change the visibility of adult blogs. This will mean unless you log in, you will be unable to access them. You can read an explanation of the changes here. If you run a NSFW blog, you’ll probably already have received a notification message from Tumblr yourself, whilst there’s still time, you might want to let your readers know.

One consequence of this change will be that pages on adult Tumblr blogs will suddenly disappear from search engine results. This will destroy the serendipity of chance discovery, all those who found this site because they were just curious about spanking and randomly googling, won’t be able to find blogs like this any more.

This change will also cut off kinky blogs from other sites in the community, breaking incoming links. Effectively, adult Tumblr blogs will be placed in a walled garden, a place only Tumblr users will be able to enter.

So given the precarious future of kink blogs on Tumblr, I’d suggest doing some of the following:

make a note of the mirror of this site, it’s not as polished as the Tumblr version, but has the same content. It might yet evolve to be my primary blog in time.

follow me on Twitter, I continue to post news and links to new content there, so you won’t miss anything.

follow me on Medium, I’ve already begun to cross-post some of my work here, it’s nicely designed and so easy to read.

connect with me on Fetlife, and do say hello if we’ve chatted before!

See you on the other channels!
