Os's story

It should probably be noted at the start that this article was originally intended to be on the school, {or TSA} that I had long been associated with here in RLC. With it's recent demise due to ongoing objections, continued misinterpretation and outright hostility on the part of some, it has become too big a burden and almost certainly non-viable as a positive force in RLC.

 With that in mind I have scrapped the idea of a school or training facility for submissives and have decided instead to peruse an enterprise which is actually more in keeping and much more reflective of what I was hoping to accomplish at TSA with none of the objections raised by it's detractors.

Let me say here that what first drove me to become a part of TSA was the number of unhappy submissives I was seeing, speaking with and hearing about inworld. Upon closer examination it became apparent that much of the unhappiness was due to little or no real knowledge being afforded to or available for the novice submissives entering RLC. They were simply unprepared to cope and were swept up into houses and relationships before they could truly make an informed decision.

This should not be seen as an indictment of the Dommes and Mistresses, nor their varying methods and practices, here in RLC. Though there are and have been some few who behave questionably, it has been my experience that the vast majority of Dommes and Mistresses care deeply for those they admit to their houses and are of the finest caliber.

Yet for all that, there are still those unfortunate instances of submissives becoming scared, unhappy, threatened {whether real or perceived} and otherwise in need of help, info, and a safe harbor in a storm.

Toward that end I wish to announce the coming grand opening of SUBSPACE , a place where new and curious submissives as well as those who just have a question or two can come and ask and be answered in a non threatening, neutral environment. Here they can vent, rage, chat and get what's on their chests off in the knowledge that what is said there stays there.

I also envision using SUBSPACE as an arbitration facility periodically where a problem can be worked out between a Domme/Mistress and a submissive. Most times a simple misunderstanding can be best worked out with a neutral third party. I also have several other ideas for this I am still kicking around, all geared toward helping, informing the bottom end of the BDSM community here in RLC. I plan to speak with as many of the leaders in our community in the near future as I can to get their thoughts and input, not just to avoid any objections but also to gain some insight from them as to how best to serve the submissives here from their standpoint.

Along with my first, Mistress Dark Angel, I hope to use this as a means to help and improve our community as well as reach out to the rest of RLC's many groups and individuals so that we might all come to enjoy what we are all building to it's utmost potential. Thank you and feel free to stop me and ask questions.

Osborne.
