“Eyes down, Grace.” Grace sighed at the latest admonishment. This wasn’t working. She stole one last wistful look out the window at the bright autumn afternoon she was missing and returned her attention to her revision. She sighed again. What was the point anyway? She had already failed once, and, though she knew she should … Continue reading Supervised Study

Intensive Coursework: Too Much, Too Soon
Sarah's story began here Sarah sank back into the sofa and marvelled at the transformation her apartment had undergone. Scarcely two days ago the floor had been all but buried and her current perch had been obscured by an imposing double mattress. Now, the bed had been reassembled, the sawdust and stray screws rounded … Continue reading Intensive Coursework: Too Much, Too Soon
Welcoming Spanking
Paula couldn’t say she hadn’t been warned. They had made it very clear the first night of orientation, all of them did. Her dorm master, her senior buddy, her advisor, even her roommate, for goodness sake, who had no reason to be any more in the know than she did. Perhaps it was ignorance, but … Continue reading Welcoming Spanking
A Faerie Tail
Isabet slouched onto her toadstool and moped, a silent steady fit unbecoming a faerie of her age. Then again, hadn’t it been made explicitly clear the previous evening that she herself was completely unbecoming for a faerie her age? The dark though only served to dampen her mood still further, thickening the roots of despair … Continue reading A Faerie Tail
Almost Away
Heidi strode the corridor slowly, waiting for feelings of nostalgia that never came. This last stroll past the doors behind which she had spent nearly half of her life should have been a deeply emotional experience, filled with memory and longing. It was emotional, no doubt, but her primary emotion was somewhere between fear and … Continue reading Almost Away
Hiding in Plain Sight
I made my first tacky Christmas jumper this year, having finally given into the local tradition (and looking for an excuse to buy a glue gun). I was quite proud of it- bells and baubles and lights and everything. I also made it from what had been my "school uniform" jumper, purchased specifically for our … Continue reading Hiding in Plain Sight
The Scarlet Letter
Paula could see it from the far end of the corridor. She was too far away to be sure just by observation that it was in her pigeonhole, but she had been told to expect its arrival. It could be someone else again, like the false alarm two days ago when Carly Simmons had sprinted … Continue reading The Scarlet Letter
Dormant Defiance
Katie’s footsteps echoed down the empty corridor as she approached Mr. Spencer’s room. Aside from the few stray pencils and scraps of paper that seemed to accumulate every day the wing was deserted. Thank goodness, she thought. It was silly, she tried to convince herself, her whole history class had heard him order her to … Continue reading Dormant Defiance
Review: Spanking the Secretary’s Bottom
One misses a lot while away, and I am only just starting to catch up. It seems that Susan Thomas (who should be very familiar to anyone reading comments here) has a new book out. As with all of her stories, I read it at the first opportunity I had, and devoured the whole thing … Continue reading Review: Spanking the Secretary’s Bottom
Spanking Detention
She shouldn’t even have been assigned the stupid detention anyway, Beth fumed. She and Mr. Jenkins were usually on the best of terms. She had idolised her history teacher from the first day of classes and had always done her best work for his class. She had never had trouble getting along with him before, … Continue reading Spanking Detention
