New Term at Lowewood

It’s September. Can you smell freshly-sharpened pencils? That’s because it’s the start of a new term in Lowewood Academy.

It’s a new term, a new school year; new characters are starting the Lower Sixth. Last year’s prefects have graduated, and the girls are now prefects themselves. The new Head Girl Jessica promises us –

Spanking, cold showers, games, short skirts, gorgeous girls, illicit drinking, evil Masters, sneaking out of school, leather straps, vigilant teachers, Lochgelly tawses, sweets, handsome and horny guys, girly gossip, standing in the corner, stockings, medical examinations, sadistic prefects and of course, the dreaded cane, are all in plentiful supply in this modern version of St Trinians (although the behaviour is probably worse!)

I’m quite proud of what we’ve done in Lowewood so far, you know. Each of the permanent writers has written enough for a small spanking novel, and with all the storylines put together, it looks like quite an epic.

When we started, I certainly hadn’t expected the level of detail we were going to go through, or the elaborate plotting that goes on behind the scenes. Or the gossip whenever somebody writes something outrageous, and the authors call each other up to say: “Have you heard? Gina snogged Laura!” Considering that neither Gina nor Laura are represented by a real person, the level of excitement this produces is rather amusing.

I’m looking forward to the next year. I hope you are, too. If you like Lowewood, tell your friends about it, OK?

Just as last year, when I was starting to write as Sylvie Barnable, I invite the readers to try and guess which new Lowewood character I have taken up. We’ve been blogging as the new pupils for a few weeks now, so go ahead, have a read, and take a guess.

EDITED TO ADD: It’s Ned Corwin. I decided it was time to follow the footsteps of Roald Dahl, and indulge myself in writing some M/m school stories – one of my guilty pleasures. I’ve never written F/m, but I’d like to give that a go as well. Lowewood is a very accommodating universe.

(Abel will continue his occassional posts as the school chaplain, Reverend Jenkins. Until he gets struck by lightning, I expect.)

    Oh Heck! I’m in a hurry but had to give this a try, and my vote (based on a very quick skim read so probably off by a mile…my excuse and I’m sticking to it!) goes to – The Honourable Philippa Beaumont

    I’m looking forward to reading all about the new term :)

    Haron, I love Lowewood, my guess for your new character, Lydia. Whoever is writing, you’re all doing a splendid job.
    Warm hugs,
    Paul.

    I was going to say Pippa until I read about what Lydia wore yesterday.

    It is Lydia, isn’t it?

    Oh god, I’m really bad at guessing… Can I just say that whoever you’re writing for, PLEASE don’t let it be Ned 😀 I’ve followed Lowewood since day one, though, and I’m just as loyal to it as to my favourite tv-series!

    Is it too late for me to have a guess, do you think? 😉

    Ah. Inspirational genius, or attempted smart ass comment whilst waiting for music to download – I know what I’m sticking with, cos hey, a win is a win, right? Haron, I think you can be more than quite proud of what you’ve all done.

    OK, Gerrard, I know which one I would stick with, but yeah, a win is definitely a win. 😛

    Glad to see Lowewood writers take note of comments made.

    Not sure who writes as Lydia but she seems to have followed my idea
