Written Assignments

Posted in Bad boys, Submissives, educational rant at 11:26 am by angela

They used to give out written punishments in schools. Sometimes they were deliberately chosen for their edifying moral value, and other times for the purpose of boring the student into not repeating the bad behavior.

I recall only one written punishment during my school days. I guess the class must have been pretty rowdy. Several times the teacher assigned us all to write out the preface of the class text.

A while back I belonged to a couple of yahoo groups involving written punishments. Depending on the sub’s misbehavior, his Mistress would assign him a writing passage to copy for a certain number of lines. The subs would write out lines, then scan them and email them to their Mistress. She would correct them and pronounce them satisfactory or not.

The other group used a little application called Fond of Writing. A domme will set up an assignment within the program. She sends it to the sub, who types out the assignment acording to her specifications. When he is done, he gets a verifiable report to send back to his domme, proof not only that he did the assignment, but how long he took and how many errors he made.

There are lots of parameters to set, and maybe even lots of interrelated messages to write. There’s also an image to be inserted, and it has to be in the bitmap form and within certain size limits. I did this a few times. After a while it became clear that it took me half an hour to prepare an assignment that would take half an hour to complete.Of course the sub loved it, but it was getting harder and harder to make assignments within his narrow interests. After a while I just told him how much time it had been taking me. Subs don’t usually think that fun assignments take time for the writer. Eventually I had an interaction with one of the moderators, who was extraordinarily condescending. I quit the groups.

So I was pretty surprised recently when a couple of boys in a school I’m working in were made to write sincere letters of apology for their misbehavior. What an old-fashioned punishment!

It’s working.

Serving a woman

Posted in Chat, Submissives, What women want at 8:34 am by angela

There’s a ‘femdom’ yahoo group I belong to. I rarely post, as it is mostly a few women who love to do “roleplay” - cyber, I presume - and a lot of “submissives” who are mostly looking for free online “domination”.

I think you know how I feel about that. If not, read back a few pages.

Now the owner of this group says she has hundreds of submissives. She keeps open 8 windows in her messenger at a time, doing this “roleplay” with them.

So clearly there are a lot of things that we don’t have in common. Recently she posted that she thinks a Mistress’s time should be available to the submissive at no charge, and I felt I needed to respond to that in the group.

What I said was that I work three jobs, and time spent chatting with submissives is money out of my pocket. I can’t do it for free. They can afford to compensate me for my time - they have computers, internet connections, plasma televisions, cable and or satellite, etc. - so therefore I will not chat for extended periods of time for free. I do not provide “services” (ahem) of any other sort for free online, either.

So what has happened? I’m getting bombarded by guys who found me through the yahoo group. Some of them have read my site and love it, some have not bothered to look at it. Some want to write me stories or call me, others are just looking for cyber, err…online domination. Here’s one conversation:

willing_assistant: hi, mistress angela
willing_assistant: please use me as your male slave
Angela Quattrano: how would you like to write a story about your experiences in my school?
willing_assistant: ok
Angela Quattrano: have you been to my website?
willing_assistant: please forward
willing_assistant: i am looking for a female magician
Angela Quattrano: hm, I’m not a magician
willing_assistant: may be tht could be a school story
willing_assistant: lady magician saws young male in half
Angela Quattrano: oh?
willing_assistant: or fake an illness to get out of school
Angela Quattrano: why don’t you read through my website and find out what I’m about? http://principalquattrano.com/
Angela Quattrano: I can’t write your story for you. As it is, I end up rewriting most submissions, but they must be almost done
willing_assistant: how about using me cyber
Angela Quattrano: you have come to me looking for me to provide you with services
Angela Quattrano: you asked me what you could do to “serve me”, I made a suggestion. another thing you can do for me is do housework naked on cam
willing_assistant: i do not have a cam
Angela Quattrano: and I do not work for free
willing_assistant: oh
willing_assistant: i am naked, sweeping floors
Angela Quattrano: that’s nice
willing_assistant: cleaning toilets
Angela Quattrano: I guess you’re a little unclear on the concept. I do phone sex of a variety of types. Guys come to me for services, they pay the price, and they get the services. I’m not into the “now stick the carrot up your ass and wank to serve me” type of online domination
Angela Quattrano: if you’d been to my website and read a few pages of my blog you’d probably realize this
Angela Quattrano: I see providing free services to guys who can afford to pay for them is just serving men, which I do not do.

I went invisible so I could get some work done.
