This newsletter was originally only
for Rose & Thorn members, the group that I founded in Vermont. It's a
great history of the early years and includes some great material! After
I gave notice as leader in 2001, I renamed it SceneSubmissions and gave
it a broader scope of BDSM & Spirituality as by that time we had many readers in other states.
