Potential PSA for kink filter
I was terribly sorry to miss the gathering at the club on Saturday in memory of Jack, as I had very much wanted to attend. I caught some kind of a bug and haven't been feeling well. Haven't read LJ, so I don't know what else has been posted.
At any rate, slavette posted a link today on FetLife that I thought might be of interest: Jack's Order for Discipline and Service Handbook is available for sale online for a limited time (print-on-demand, a maximum of 1,000 copies to be printed by Alfred Press).
Description:
The Order for Discipline and Service (ODS) is a group of individuals who find personal fulfillment in the hierarchy and structure of consensual Master/slave relationships. ODS is a structured and disciplined body that lives according to rule. Master Jack McG was the founder and commander of ODS. This book represents the results of years of his study and effort into ways to create a sustainable and fulfilling Master/slave household. He was passionate and enthusiastic about sharing with the community elements of this lifestyle that worked for his household, as well as learning from others knowledge that would benefit his own home. This limited edition publication represents the fruits of those labors. If you are currently living as Master and slave or even considering setting up an M/s household, you'll find guidance and inspiration in this resource. From the practical to the philosophical, a wide range of topics are covered here that will help you devise a path that is right for you.
As we know, Jack's way was not everyone's way. Many different possibilities are out there for viable M/s relationships, and he once said (expressing sympathy for the difficulty of finding the right partner in the lifestyle) that he thought it would be great if those masters who had truly developed their own well-functioning philosophies of M/s relationships and had the character and experience to back them up could put up their "flags" in one place and enable us widely varying s-types to more easily find them.
Whether or not everything in the handbook would be suitable for everyone, I have no doubt that it would offer at least some valuable guidance and/or food for thought for everyone in the M/s lifestyle.
So I just thought I'd share its availability.
EDIT: Yes, all proceeds from the sale of this book will go directly to the benefit of Jack's family and household.
