Our brunch this week is dedicated to all of the under-appreciated spanko bloggers.
Have you a favorite lesser known spanking-oriented blog that you think is deserving of some love? Please share with us what makes this blogger and their work something special?
I hope everyone who enjoys spanking blogs will post a comment. Have you found a hidden gem? How about a diamond in the rough? Can you tell us about someone new and interesting? Or perhaps an old friend who has quietly returned? We'd love to hear all about your discoveries.

One that I probably don't visit enough - and I think others don't either - is spankedhortic. Blogs from switches are few and far between and his is a blog that has such a nice variety of reviews, pictures, thoughts and other fun stuff.
A relatively new one that I hope will get plenty of traffic is Rose's By Any Other Word. There are a LOT of blogs by female bottoms - have been since spanking blogs came around. What I like about Rose's is that it is thoughtful, funny, and very real.
Although my favorite blog is MBS, I am quite fond of Through Iris Eyes, Life in Motion, Chris' Firehouse, Spanking Minnesota, and The Spanking Writers. These blogs all have a nice blend of real life experiences & observations, good writing, fun-loving humor, and a certain quality of "spankiness".
I wonder if we'll find that tops might prefer more picture-oriented blogs because for them spanking is a more visual experience than it is for bottoms?
I really love Radha Sutra:

I think The Heron Clan is the cat's meow too:

I rather like The Pagan and The Pervert too

I think Spankedhortic is just hysterical.

Spankful Delight is a favorite of mine too:

The Switching Hour goes through sporadic periods of no updates, but when there are posts, I enjoy the spanking stories and the D/s stories.

A Slaves' True Nature is a new blog to me, but I'm very much enjoying it so far:

*smiles* I'm glad you are doing this Brunch topic!! Thanks!
Bonnie,
I love your blog! I have lurked here for a long time and thought I would pop up for a minute. My blog, The Fellatrices up to now has not been really spanking related, but by coincidence today I put a post there proposing to start a new regular feature called "Spanko Saturday." Spanko Saturday would be like Sugasm for spankos, D/s, etc.
I already run a regular feature called "Fellatio Friday" which is fairly popular, where readers submit links to fellatio-related posts from their blogs, and my readers vote on their favorite. I am testing the water to see if there is sufficient interest to do the same for "Spanko Saturday." I encourage your readers to stop by and take a look and perhaps delurk and comment on what they think of the Spanko Saturday idea. Thanks!
Bonnie, I visit many blogs.
The ones I think that are worthy of more attention, are as follows;
Jujubees' Journal,
Michelle Carlyle,
Motions of the Heart in E,
Reesa Roberts,
Strange Imagination.
Taste of the Birch,
Wilhelmina Dreams,
Lowewood Academy,
All except numbers 3 and 4 are exclusively spanking/erotic fiction.
Warm hugs,
Paul.
I have found two young women recently that I would love to mention here. The first is CS over at The Classy Slut. She is growing into writing about spanking just beautifully, and I'm anxious to read more of her writing, if she'll continue to share it with us. Please do, CS!
The second is Mistress Tori, who I am also fascinated by, firstly because she is a switch and secondly because spanking (and caning and such) is her business. She maintains a primary site and a Diary. From what I can tell, she has an intelligent (and cute!) head on her shoulders and a love for the art of punishment in her heart.
Happy Brunching!

A lot of blogs are often just promoting videos so the ones I have the most time for are those whose writers really try to say something about their own experiences. My favorites are
Janice's -Strange Imagination
Connie's - Dabbling in Discipline
Rose's - By any other word
Wilhelmina dreams
Reece's the Recieving end
and of course hats off always to the monumental effort Mike puts into spanked hubby.

Since I have no way of knowing how many hits this blog gets in a day, I hesitate to call it lesser known. But one of the newer blogs that I regularly visit is Devlin O'Neill's Weblog. A man with a great sense of humour and the author of many steamy spanking novels, he has also written excellent posts about implements and positions from a Top's point of view. Gwen and Michael often hijack the blog for their own messages, which adds to the variety. There are plenty of pictures, and lots of posts about football during the season. Something for everyone!
He once wrote a very clever Harry Potter parody, which is why I sign my comments on his blog as Harmonica.
Thanks Natty and Greenwoman, you two could make my head grow to big to get through doors any more.
There are two new blogs but I think that they are getting pretty well trafficed already
Ludwig's Rohrstock-Palast ( http://rohrstockpalast.blogspot.com ) a quality commenter now turned blogger his blog shows a lot of promise.
Well Spanked Man ( http://wellspankedman.com) that's a promotional blog but I want to see more men who with a little m who perform on screen and will tell us about it.
There are two longer running blogs worth mentioning too.
It would be nice to see more commenters at Just My Random Perverted Thoughts ( http://jmrpt.sensualwriter.com ) I would like to comment there more often but feel a bit creepy commenting too often when not many other people are.
One that doesn't get updated too much but can be so much fun sometimes when it is, especialy with it's double trouble posts, is one run by two American youngsters with occasional guests, The Life And Times Of Spanko Roomies ( http://spankroomies.blogspot.com ) It's good to see the younger generation coming up with something worth reading.

Some of my favorites have already been mentioned, but two blogs I particularly enjoy haven't appeared, except as a comment by one of the bloggers. Both are extremely well written blogs by smart, funny, opinionated women who give us interesting commentary and excellent spanking tales. Neither is new; in fact both date back to 2004 and thus pre-date MBS. Both are updated once or twice a week, on average, sometimes more often and sometimes less. The archives are well worth a look if you're waiting for new posts. Both bloggers take the time to respond to comments in a warm and friendly way, too.
Natty has already left a comment here. Moreover, she had some interesting things to say about punishment two brunches ago, so those who are interested should follow her link. I encourage you to read her blog as well as her posts on the Punishment Book. She stays on topic most of the time (broadly speaking-- Natty can see kinkiness in all sorts of situations), but she also writes very moving posts about her religious faith and her battle with chronic disease.
Annie's blog may be the most eclectic spanking blog I've come across. She stopped posting for a while in 2007, as a series of RL stresses demanded her attention. She's been back since late summer of last year. Here, you can ready steamy accounts of spanking and what inevitably follows, interspersed with entries about animals, opera clips with spanking startles, RL ups and downs, and politics. She calls her blog a love song to her husband, Robert, which I think pretty much sums it up, with a dash of Molly Ivins and Dr Doolittle thrown in for variety.
One of these I think is fairly well known, but I love these two.
Lowewood Academy (www.lowewood-academy.co.uk) is an everyday must read for me. The blog is a fictional account of a mostly female boarding school (all of the "students" are over 18, of course), and all of the drama, friendships, sex, and spanking that comes with it. Its not serious, and I'm pretty much hooked.
Fantastic Spanking (fantasticspanking.blogspot.com) is another fictional blog featuring Frank Spakowiak and his family. He recounts his and his wife's spanking exploits (they both switch) which ia great for me because I am also a switch.
Whether old friends or new, these are all wonderful recommendations. There are even some blogs listed above that I hadn’t seen before today. You can bet I will take some time this week to investigate further.
As for my choices, I am going to opt for the easy way out. Every blog and web site listed in my blogroll is there because I thought it was worthy in some respect and would be appreciated by at least a portion of regular MBS readers. All of my favorites are listed, along with many more that will develop into favorites in the future. I invite you to explore and enjoy!
I notice no one has mentioned Alison Tyler's blog, "Trollop with a Laptop". For more than a year she posted, almost daily, another episode from her well-spent youth (involving a lot of spanking and such) -- it was about a million words long. Recently however, she's taken it all down. Hopefully, she will likely bring it back in some future form. I know I'm not the only one who thinks it was truly outstanding. She did say we wouldn't have to wait a year to find out what happened next in the story she left hanging. And she said that in early January. Still, Alison's present blog is still entertaining reading, with story excerpts, news about anthologies she's in or editing and the occasional confessional tidbit that she can't help from sliding in from time to time (look at Feb 20, for an example).
Otherwise, I'm hanging out a lot at Devlin O'Neill's Weblog, where there's an amazing commenting culture among a few regulars, as well as thoughtful and humorous posts from the likes of Gwen, Devlin and Michael.
Also I very much like the Spank Statement, which focuses on spanking in the mainstream of popular and celebrity culture.
I'm sure I'm repeating what others have said, but Chross' is doing a great and ongoing public service to the spanko world by archiving movie clips and such for ready reference.
Niki Flynn's Not Blog is another fun place. Probably the best graphic design I've ever seen on a blog, plus fun and thoughtful posts and comments.
These are but a few... Thanks for raising the topic, Bonnie!
