TheMasque

TheMasque.net is the mother site to The WIKtT Archives, The BDSM Garden, and Goddess Masks. All are represented on Zazzle. The Masque is a free, adults-only erotic literature, art, and photography website and is proud to be the home of many published authors, artists, and aspiring writers alike. The Masque is one of few unmoderated story sites on the web. The premise is for authors to be able to post their work, as intended, without interference from any 'posting police', with very few restrictions. 'The Masque' was chosen for its three definitions. I liked masks but had only made a few when I was in high school. I was a theater major and a "masque" is a type of theater production/party game that I thought was both silly and delightful with singing, dancing, allegory, and silly stories written to compliment the players and patrons - it was a great theme for a chat room. I also love a good party with great costumes. The courtesan’s palazzo theme came from the mask thought. Having lived in Milan, Italy, I had traveled to Venice several times and loved the intricate masks. The history of the city is fascinating and I've always enjoyed delving into it. Being the prurient sort, I very much enjoyed the seedier side of Carnival and its history. The city was one rife with courtesans in the Italian Renaissance - thus the theme for the site was born. The Masque is currently accepting new stories, original artwork, and photos from amateur and professional artists. To submit your work, please visit the site and register.
