Let’s celebrate this most festive of days by announcing the winners of our fifth Annual Awards here at The Spanking Writers. Unlike other sites, there’s no formal judging process, no consulting our readers: who needs democracy anyway? It’s just our personal view of things in the scene that we’ve admired over the past year. So here goes – in no particular order!
Best new spanking event – the Shamrock Spanking Society‘s fabulous weekend in Ireland in November.
Best book – “The Collector’s Guide to the School Strap“ – a wonderfully quirky, detailed study. (LOL we couldn’t exactly nominate our own second anthology or The Punishment List, now, could we?).
Kinky event organiser par excellence – Jessica, for the Regency House Party, Lowewood and so many more lovely events throughout the year.
Best implement provider – Maui Kink, a Hawaiian company. Superb, original products – and prompt, exceptionally courteous service. Highly recommended!
Most intense spanking scene – Emma Jane’s harsh judicial punishment, at the start of December, which she described amazingly on her blog, “A Painful Awakening”.
Song of the year for kinky people. We really couldn’t decide between Marina and the Diamonds’ magnificent “Obsessions” (from “The Family Jewels”, an album which shares such wonderful perspectives about life) and Pink’s “Raise your glass” – an anthem for all of us who are “are wrong in all the right ways”.
Blog of the year – Pandora Blake’s “Spanked, not silenced” – for outspoken advocacy on behalf of the kinky community, as well as excellent posts on playing and modelling.
Community site of the year – Twitter. It seems strange, perhaps, giving an award to a big site like this – but it really does do so much to help re-enforce our sense of community. (@abeljenkins and @adelehaze if you want to follow us).
Tweeter of the year – @BDSMBadAdvice – genuinely funny and perceptive.
Kinky campaigners of the year – CAAN, the Consenting Adult Action Network, for standing up passionately for the rights of kinky folk in the UK.
Congratulations to all of the winners, and warm Christmas greetings to all of our readers.
Thank you, this scene meant so much to me and to us and I’m honoured you’ve listed it
