Diana the Valkyrie

Diana the Valkyrie's Newsletter - March 1998

A hard man is good to beat

March

March means daffodils! And from where I sit, I can see an entire orchestra of them, daffing in a chorus of yellow announcing the onset of spring.

New Galleries

Oodles, as usual.

The Library

Warren Vehec, author of many Giantess stories, turns out to be none other than tinyboy, often found in our chatroom. So we're going to crush him underfoot until he starts writing more of his wonderful fantasies about 50 foot women.

We've also got a new bookshelf for Chelgi's giantess stories.

And, there's a couple more of my stories, "Fiona" and "The Foxy Lady".

New artists

Welcome to MisterE, whose Vascular Valkyries are extremely good.

The Movie Theatre

Loads of new stuff.

Ladybumps

I added a couple of new Galleries; the very prolific and lovely Roberta Pedon, and the remarkable Silvie McFarland, both from the days before implants. Also a few new stories.

Newsgroups

The flame wars triggered by Nicole being ripped off by some guy continue. As flames go, this one has long passed its sell-by date, and I suspect most people are now ignoring it.

The Clubhouse

The big news here is Diana's World. If your browser can do Java, then try this

I'm hoping that what you see there is just a glimpse of what will be. Read about my ideas for developing it and leave a message on the message Board for Diana's World if you're interested in helping.

In the Chatroom

Everything I tell you here is taken from public postings, you can read it yourself in the Archives.

I added a few new commands, taken from IRC. If you try them out, you'll see what they do. There's /me /nick /roll /ipaddress and /slap and I might add more later.

If you've never been to the chat room, read a few days of archives before you come in, and you'll see what sorts of things get discussed. Wrestling and bodybuilding is a common theme, but we also discuss art, economics, computers, politics and anything else we feel like talking about.

I'll tell you this, though. It's pretty gauche to walk into any chat room and say "Who's the sexy women here?". No-one will stop you doing it, but you can see what I mean. Just go with the flow.

The room usually gets going started about noon EST, and gets hopping at lunchtime EST (often Scooby comes on then). After lunch, it never gets quiet, and round about 7pm EST it really gets hopping. It tends to wind down about 1am EST, and things are quiet until the next day at noon. Having a clock that chimes the hours helps you to see all that.

Dom told sub to write an account of their first meeting; you can see it posted on the Message Board for Abuse. Unfortunately, sub posted it four minutes late, and Dom was not pleased. Uh-oh. I wonder what she'll do to him next? Read the account, it's rather good. Afterwards, sub posted in the chatroom "the membership to this site was probably my wisest entertainment expense ever" which is a very flattering remark. Sadly, Dom has taken to coming into the room, demanding "WHERE IS SUB?" and then immediately leaving.

In another session, Armfan and his girfriend helped their cat have four kittens while we were online. The kittens are all doing fine.

Hector has owned up, and turns out to be Rhys. Of course, everyone already knew that all along.

Bouncing Betty is another regular, she's a boxer-biker-bitch from Cologne. She sent me some pictures that you can see in her Gallery. She's being courted by Rhys and by Sen

Scooby is another regular; Scooby is, of course, a dog, with an unfortunate habit of licking himself. Well, what do you expect of a dog? I use my waterspray on him occasionally, that seems to keep him in line. He also has his own Message Board, Scooby's Soapbox. You can also see the view from his office window in the Archives.

Scooby's Best friend is Cheeseburger, although Cheeseburger seems to use a different name every time we see him. Cheeseburger is Welsh, and strongly opinionated, if you want a vigorous argument, get into a ding-dong with Cheeseburger.

Another regular now, is WB270, who maintains the excellent Big List of women who wrestle.

We also see Zee the Pitbull from time to time (she has her own web site, and I made a Gallery of her pictures) and we had a visit from Sandy Bouman. Sandy is a bodybuilder, wrestler and firewoman; she's the one that HBP has organised the trip to St Louis for, and HBP, sub and a couple of others will be seeing her.

Also Etta Mae (who you might know from the awa channel) has been dropping by.

TomNine does quite a lot of wrestling, and will talk about it if you want, magilla had a very fine tussle with a friend recently.

Maybe I should explain about Ghost. Originally, he was Mike, but he had a rather good session, and came to the chat room and mentioned that he'd just been killed. So we suggested that if he was dead, this must be the Ghost of Mike, and Ghost he's been ever since.

Victim loves being tickled, and it really was wicked of me to tickle him just as he was getting to the best part of a story he was telling Scooby, at which point Mrs Scooby (who seems to keep him on a very short leash, and of who he is justifiably terrified) intervened, and Scooby had to go to his kennel.

JoanneK is a 5'1" bodybuilder, her boyfriend is JoanneFan. She's studying for Novell Certification, and spending a lot of time in the gym.

Don't ask me when any of these folk are going to come on; you're welcome to read the archives and see when they've come on in the past, but a chatroom is a casual place, people drift in and out when they feel like it.

One important new personality in the chatroom is Clepsydra, who, as you might have guessed from her name, is a clock. Clepsy isn't just any old clock though. She's a chiming clock, announcing the time in the traditional way every quarter hour, and chiming the hours like Big Ben does.

But Clepsy also tells you the time when you ask her. Or even if you didn't mean to ask her, she's listening, and if she thinks you want to know the time, she'll tell you.

And if that wasn't enough, she tells lightbulb jokes, just ask her. I might teach her some more stuff too, but be patient with her, she's really only a clock, don't expect major conversations with her (I notice a few guys have tried to make time with her). Le Lobster recited a horological poem to her in French. She can also dispense words of wisdom. I'll leave you to work out how.

So why a clock? Because I think some people spend more time in the chat room than they mean too. Well, we're all grown ups, you make your own decisions. But at least Clepsy will make sure you don't lose track of time.

And like any good mantlepiece clock, she's a great ice breaker and conversation piece.

Message Boards

Sandi Stone now has a Message Board.

Flames have broken out a couple of times, but my policy is to move all flames to the flame Board, which means that other boards can stay on-topic, and people who wish to hurl personal abuse at each other can do so without having to worry about annoying other people. So if you see an abusive message, and then it seems to vanish, don't worry, you can still read it if you go to the Flame and Abuse board.

The Advertising board has also been very successful; since I put that up, anyone wishing to post adverts for "Make money fast" or similar ventures, has either posted it there, or I moved it to there.

The office

Some parts of the internet are sometimes suffering from traffic jams. I put up a thing so you can see the route you're taking to my server, and what parts of that route are slow. This means you can put the squeeze on your ISP and tell them exactly what's wrong with their service and you can check out other ISP's to see how good their connectivity is. There's also a good link that will help you choose an ISP, if you decide to change.

Nicole Bass

There's a new bunch of pictures of Nicole, including some nudity. And Nicole visited Europe this month; France and England (Germany got cancelled). The visit was very successful, and she said she had a really great time, and plans to return in September.

Andrulla Blanchette

Andrulla's ninth place in the Ms International became a sixth place, when three of the competitors failed the drugs test, and were found to be taking diuretics, a rather dangerous practice.

Back Page

I checked the site statistics. that Sandra counts up each night. 79,000 pictures (4.2 gigabytes), 2.9 gigabytes of video, 2001 text files (mostly stories).

I've still got loads of free space, but I've just ordered a big new server for the site, to power future growth.
