One more post for today.
The new Leather Archives & Museum exhibit is gathering community input in order to develop a library of the best BDSM-related books. Clarisse Thorn (who, by the way, has a fab blog that I highly recommend) has created an online poll to make it easier to make sure that nothing gets left out. Check out her call for participants below for info about the project and a link to the poll.
——————————————————————————–
Hey everyone!
Calling all READERS within the Leather / Kink / Fetish / S&M / B&D / BDSM community:
I (Clarisse) have been asked to curate a pansexual BDSM books exhibit at the Leather Archives & Museum (your friendly neighborhood BDSM museum). I know a fair bit about books, but I still need help with this question, so I’ve created an online poll. I’m asking everyone to send in their favorite BDSM fiction title; I’ll base the exhibit on your submissions. This way, the exhibit will be firmly based within the community — please forward this email WIDELY, so that we get the most comprehensive community representation possible!
To be featured in this exhibit, a book must be FICTION and it must contain EXPLICIT BDSM.
Poll here:

NOTES!
If you really like your favorite book, then please consider also submitting a comment of 100-200 words, describing any or all of the following:
+ a brief synopsis of the book,
+ how the book represents BDSM,
+ historical significance of the book,
+ other work the author may have done within the BDSM community.
The best book descriptions might be used in the exhibit. So if you want your description to have your name or pseudonym on it, please include that name at the end of your description! Sadly, we cannot pay people if we use their descriptions.
You can vote for books that aren’t written in English, but if you submit a description of the book, then the description must be in English.
It is technically possible for an individual to vote more than once in this poll, but please don’t. I am indeed logging where the votes come from; if the data appears too skewed when the poll is done, then I might have to throw out the results. Don’t do that to me!
Again, you can vote here!

The poll will close June 1, 2009 at 12AM.
Thanks for reading!
cheers,
Clarisse

DISCLAIMERS!
Clarisse and LA&M staff will give this poll as much weight as possible! However, we reserve the right not to use all the top winners of the poll, for reasons that may include but are not limited to: adequately representing a pansexual range of identities; ensuring that all books in the exhibit contain explicit BDSM; or suspicious quantities of votes from the same place. All comments submitted in this poll become property of the Leather Archives & Museum.
