Dear friends, we are pleased to announce The Masque Network Shops! We have everything from clothing to bedding, jewelry to paddles. We feature Severus, Hermione, gorgeous artwork, literary humor, notecards, journals, and invitations for spankings. Join us in celebrating - and grab a few fun things for yourself and for friends.
Where to find us? It's so easy. Just remember that we're case sensitive and don't mind the construction dust. We still need a few finishing touches. We ARE happy to transfer design for you and make custom goodies for you and yours!Â

TheMasque, The WIKtT Archives, and The Garden have a unique offering!
READ ME A STORY
THE GARDEN, THE MASQUE, AND THE WIKtT ARCHIVES need a new software backbone from which to hang our articles, stories, galleries, and forums. Our elderly servers are being aged out at the hosting company. The software that the sites are built on will, unfortunately, not be supported on any modern server.
That means YOU (and we) get to play!
Are you an author?
Are you a reader?
Are you an audiophile?
Are you an accent whore?
Do you have a favorite short story that you want to have read to you? Do you want to hear it over and over again?
Let me read you a story!
The prize for the first auction round will be choosing one of the people listed below to read the short story of winner’s choosing aloud. Anything from a smutty lemon or lime fic to Shakespeare’s sonnets, from an original poem to Goodnight Moon is fair game (within site rules) – the choice is the winner’s!
AUCTION INFORMATION:
Here’s the auction!
http://ebay.us/RX1C9U?cmpnId=5338273189
Bidding starts at $20 US
Vocal samples for the readers are here: http://thebdsmgarden.net/auction-sound-bytes/
The reading time for the story should be no more than about thirty minutes.
After the auction, we are happy to be a communication intermediary between winner and reader.
This prize is an audio recording only. Video recording is not included unless arranged with the reader of a children’s book with only the book illustrations shown on camera.
The story will be made available to the winner. If both winner and reader agree, the story may be posted online.
TheMasque Network makes no claim of copyright, only a private, recorded reading as a private fundraiser. All efforts will be made to secure the copyright for the reading, but none are to be assumed.
The purpose of this fundraiser is to redesign the eFiction software used on all the TheMasque Network sites and bridge the software for the Galleries, Forum, and chat.
Questions may be discreetly directed to the staff via the blue Send Message buttons at https://www.facebook.com/themasquenet or https://www.facebook.com/bgrooftopgarden

If you happened to have missed a chatroom education topic, the extant topic chat transcripts are all on the site under the username "Garden Chat Topics" in the Lifestyle section of the site. We are working hard to get the discussion transcripts loaded onto the site within 24 hours. We did miss recording many discussions and, for that, we apologize.

As a reminder, our chat has moved to Discord. We have a server that can be linked via the button on the chat page and through the Discord system itself. The chat admin is also being managed differently. Check out the chat to find out how. Our chat rules remain.

Please remember that The Garden is a haven for different philosophical views on BDSM and D/s in order to expose readers to the possibilities. The reader is always encouraged to ponder these views in order to assimilate his, her, or their own views. The views expressed by individuals in their writing is not necessarily shared by the site administration itself. Feel free to respond to authors directly in reviews, but please remain civil at all times.

The Garden is an online resource community to educate those already practicing or wishing to learn the art and lifestyle of Domination and submission in their various forms and practices. Join us in reading and sharing through our growing collection of essays, definitions, and BDSM Munch-style chat. Ask questions, and with us, learn about how and why we do what we do but remember that while learning online can be wonderful, offline experience is the best, most fulfilling teacher.

I have shuffled a few categories up to be a bit more precise. I moved things around in Dominance, Submission, and How-To. Please explore and let me know if they make sense.

In celebration of one of my favorite book series (A Discovery of Witches/All Souls Trilogy) being turned into a TV series, how does everyone feel about a writing contest? I have a bunch of signed books and some swag that need to Leave my House for the prize. This contest will be a little different than others we’ve run. This time, I am providing several quotations to use for writing prompts. All of the prompts are from the All Souls Trilogy. In keeping with the theme, your story is due on Samhain. As usual, the voting will be BLIND and will take place over a week. There is no word count minimum, but please tell a complete story. Fic or Original Work is acceptable. Send all entries to me at cis@themasque.net Title:
