Sorry to keep you all waiting. I’m the only one of the SoCal branch of the Guttergaunt community who’s even close to being a writer (not half the writer Lila was, I’m afraid, but I try), and I’m just swamped these days. During the Spring Break rush there was a shakeup at work that led to yours truly getting promoted to manager, which has made my work life much busier than it used to be, and of course, I still have all my duties as a slave, which is an all-the-time job (and it’s pretty weird being a manager at work and a slave in the rest of my life).

But here, as Sagey requested, is a “little idea” about what happened to Cyn’s guy…

All our practice matches really paid off. Turns out the guy was so confident in his superior upper body strength and general athleticism (and he is very nicely muscled, as we can vouch for now that we’ve had the chance to inspect every inch of his body as much as we pleased), that he didn’t actually do any wrestling training.

The result? Mistress Amy and I never even got a chance to wrestle him. He beat Liz, but she lasted long enough to get him a bit tired. And then Cyn beat him. Which was the perfect result, since after all she was the one he had the bet with in the first place. The fact that she personally defeated him really drove home her ownership of him.

And then we proceeded to have pretty much the most fun weekend ever… for us girls, at least!

It was definitely way, way more than he bargained for, but we’re all old hands at this kind of thing by now, so we knew how to “break” him without actually traumatizing him.

The end result? He and Cyn are a happy couple. Technically, Cyn owns him. We have some very nice video footage of him in some very embarrassing positions, swearing over and over again that she owns him and that he’ll be her slave forever. But she doesn’t actually want a full-time slave, most of the time she just wants a regular boyfriend. So she’s got a very cute and devoted boyfriend who obeys her commands when she happens to feel like giving commands, which doesn’t seem to be that often (though she says she plans to regularly host little dinner parties for us close female friends of hers, at which he’ll be required to serve in full slave mode).

The best part is how all of us who got to play with him that weekend can now make him blush just by smiling at him.

Crazy busy right now, but we’ll have updates for you later this month, and I hope there’ll be an update from Belgium soon, too!

Oh, and that big wrestling match with Cyn’s guy we were training for? It finally happened. We won. And yes, you will get the story, when life here slows down a bit!

My web host has been having security problems with blogs that run on outdated versions of WordPress – and the version that the Guttergaunt blog runs on is quite outdated indeed. My web host just sent out a notification that they’re going to be disabling all blogs on their servers that run on outdated versions of WordPress, until the account-holders (i.e., me) upgrade to the current version.

I’m writing a thesis at the moment and might not have time to do the necessary upgrade until later this month. Which means that the blog may disappear for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. If that happens, don’t panic – it will reappear when I do have time to do the upgrade.

Also, the template (or “theme”) the blog uses – the formatting that gives it its distinctive appearance – probably won’t be compatible with the latest version of WordPress. Which means that when I do get around to doing the upgrade, the appearance of the blog is likely to change dramatically. I’ll select the new theme based on my sense of what Lila would approve of aesthetically.

Apologies in advance for the possible temporary hiatus, and all my regards to you, your mistress, and your friends and readers.

Well, I hope this won’t take us offline too long… and I’m sure curious to see what our new look will be like!

Of course, as you might expect if you’ve been reading this blog for a while, there turned out to be a bit of an unexpected twist.

After all the matches were over, and all the trading of hours was done (Anne buying up all the “Liz hours,” and Mistress Amy letting Anne buy her freedom, as promised, in exchange for all of Anne’s “Cyn hours”), this was the score: Cyn owed 29 hours to Mistress Amy, and Liz owed 34 hours to Anne.

Needless to say, Cyn and Liz weren’t very happy with this.

I think this is a good time to talk about something that my Mistress and I were noticing hasn’t been talked about much here, which is sexual orientation.

Guttergaunt is mostly about games between girls, but it’s not like every girl involved in these games is a lesbian. I think that Maybue, Faighnee, and Daisypoo do consider themselves lesbians, though for all I know, one or two of them might be bi, and they just haven’t mentioned it yet.

Lila usually identified herself as bi, though actually she was a lot more lesbian than bi in practice. She didn’t have any sexual involvement with anyone male the whole time she was writing on this site, and all the sexual experiences from her past that she mentioned were with girls, too, except for the brief fling she had with Nicky (which if I remember right was for about two months, in 2001 I think, and was the first time she’d been with a guy in a lot of years, and the last time ever… and Nicky seems to kind of weirdly transcend gender, anyway, or at least that’s sure how it seemed the time I met him).

Mistress Yoko, as far as I know, despite her incredible talent for dominating and fiendishly sexually toying with women, plays with women only online and long-distance, and in the offline world is heterosexual and married to some very lucky man. Neige is bi, and has more sex with men than with women. Most of the time that she was assisting Mistress Yoko in dominating Lila, she also had a boyfriend.

I’m bi, though of course I’m not allowed to do anything with guys anymore. Even before I was enslaved, I’d pretty much decided that I was more into girls than guys, maybe 75/25 instead of 50/50.

Until she became my owner, all of Mistress Amy’s serious relationships were with guys, though she’d had some attraction to women and fooled around with a couple of them. (In case it wasn’t clear to some readers, we do now consider our Mistress/slave relationship to be a committed romantic relationship. Technically, Mistress Amy is still allowed to play around with other people, but she chooses not to, for which I’m very grateful to her.) Mistress Amy says that she prefers not to label herself as “gay” or “straight” or “bi.” She says that she’s decided her sexual orientation is “dominant,” because being in charge is more of a turn-on for her than the gender of her partner.

Anne identifies as bi, totally 50/50.

The rest of the women Mistress Amy and Anne and I hang out with consider themselves heterosexual. They’re adventurous enough to have lots of fun toying with female slaves and captives, as I know all too well, but they don’t date other women or have sex with them. Cyn and Liz fall into that category.

The reason I’m going into all of this now, is that of course a woman’s sexual orientation would make a big difference in her experience of being the sex slave of another woman. As hard as it is being a slave sometimes, never getting any say in any aspect of my sex life, at least the person I have to serve sexually is a person I find beautiful and sexy and who turns me on.

Now, Cyn and Liz, two basically heterosexual women, found themselves facing having to spend lots of hours as the slaves of two non-heterosexual women. We hadn’t set any limits on what slaves could be made to do, and after all, this is the Guttergaunt world, where it’s pretty much a given that slavery is mostly sexual: sexual humiliation, sexual torments, and sexual service. Cyn and Liz knew this, of course, though I don’t think they expected to come off quite so badly in the final scores. So, as you can imagine, they were getting pretty nervous.

Then Mistress Amy proposed that maybe they should be given a final chance to escape their fates… if they were willing to gamble and take the risk of maybe ending up even worse off. We all quickly started brainstorming, and this is the game we came up with: Each of the losers would wrestle her future owner once more: Cyn would wrestle Mistress Amy, and Liz would wrestle Anne. In these two final matches, there would be a few things within easy reach that could be used to tie someone up (bathrobe belts and scarves).

The goal was for the future slave to avoid being tied up by her future mistress. If she (Cyn or Liz) could stay free for five minutes (without leaving the mattress we were using for our wrestling ring), then all of her slavery hours would be cancelled, and she’d get off scott-free.

But if the future slave ended up getting helplessly tied up within the five minutes, then the total number of hours she owed would be multiplied by five.

Cyn and Mistress Amy went first. Cyn’s wrestling skills have been improving lately, and endurance is her strong suit. It was quite a battle, but she succeeded in staying free until the timer went off. Mistress Amy says she’s not too bummed to have lost this chance to have Cyn as a temporary slave… she’s got a pretty “easy come, easy go” attitude, and knows there will be other chances to play in the future, and she says that after all, she already owns a beautiful, well-trained, and devoted permanent slave girl (*blush*).

Then it was Liz and Anne’s turn. Anne had Liz fully, perfectly hogtied in about three minutes.

So the final score, after all this, was: Mistress Amy, Anne, and Cyn owed no hours to anyone. But poor Liz owed 170 hours to Anne.

After a brief discussion, Anne decided that she should celebrate her victory and that a hogtied and helpless Liz was too good an opportunity to waste. So she pulled Liz’s shirt and bra up over her head onto her arms, and her shorts and panties to her knees, leaving her naked, and then we had a nice long tickle party, after which Liz, still hogtied, had to spend about an hour sucking everyone’s toes in turn (even mine… my Mistress was feeling generous).

In order to be granted mercy and untied without further tickling, Liz had to agree to be our slave for the rest of the night. Anne pointed out that none of that night’s fun counted against Liz’s 170 hours, since Liz was obeying us because she was our prisoner, not because Anne had declared that she was using some of the time Liz owed her. Liz made the mistake of objecting to this, while she was still tied, so Anne began tickling her again until she agreed that Anne’s version was right and that night wouldn’t be subtracted from the 170 hours. Then Anne declared that as Liz’s punishment for arguing with her captor, the 170 hours should be doubled. Liz objected furiously, but of course she was still hogtied and helpless, so through a bit more fiendish torture, Anne was soon able to persuade Liz to agree in front of all of us that the hours would be doubled (actually, Anne got Liz to beg her to double the hours… Anne can be very persuasive when she’s got someone at her mercy).

We had a lot of fun that night with Liz as our naked serving girl (even I got to be served… I worship my Mistress for her generosity). And now she owes Anne 340 hours of slave-time, and is quite distressed about it (especially now that she’s had a little taste of what it’s like to be in Anne’s power).

Not sure when the next update will be, but hopefully it will be after we wrestle Cyn’s guy, and hopefully I’ll have some more fun news to report.
