The Female Fight as a Literary Form

The Female Fight as a Literary Form: A Prolegomena

This is just between us. And a hint" Download all the Fanman and Azerty files you can because I fear the shadow that eats message boards has fallen across them.

Prologue

There were three prequels to the present day internet Catfight fiction boards.

The first was the wrestling stories message group on America On Line. Could AOL ever have a CLUE that ?Warrior Goddess?, ?Untamed Tamiko?, the infamous ?Hamlet? posts and much other burning explicit fetish fight material was first posted in little 70 k posts bit by bit there?

The second was the Newsgroups: alt.sex.fetish.wrestling
It is 99.99% SPAM now... and STJs heartfelt posts to keep it alive with wrestling girls. (mailto:[email protected]). It has 29,545 posts there going back to Wed, 08 Dec 2004. Those are just the ones on the server. If you dig deep enough you?ll find us all there. This is the reason I can?t run for President!

The third and greatest was the fountain of all the present day catfight fiction writers:

The Fatal Female Fight Message-board at:

http://www.sexboards.com/fatalfemalefights

The url was gpf3789.sexboards.com. The board was divided in two parts, the first one up to the end of 2003. The Internet Wayback machine (http://www.archive.org/web/web.php) no longer allows access to its archived version of it!

You get a error warning:

?We're sorry, access to http://gpf3789.sexboards.com has been blocked by the site owner via robots.txt.?

No!

Now we come to the state of the art today.

Book One

Fanman?s Web Site:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fanmansstories

This site is as of July 20008 a sadly deserted ruin of a once vibrant catfight fiction community. It?s first message is dated Sep 7, 2004.

It featured a odd attempt to arrange the catfight stories into a Historical Timeline, a History of the World Told in Catfights.


Book Two

the Real Azerty:

It?s first message is dated Dec 30, 2006 9:37 am.

Was this board ready started in 2003? Wow.... where'd the time go?

As to Fanman's group, he's a good friend of mine, known him for years, since the old sxboards in fact. The reason for lack of new stuff , as he old me about 2 months ago, his job keeps him ungodly busy and he just can't get any time to write. (note to everyone: dis him or his group and I'll ban you from here forever) And speaking of his old stories.... I'm pretty sure he has them in his group, but if not I'm pretty sure I have all his old stuff.

And for us dottering old fools remember the prologue to the modern world: Ajax an off line source of stories before there was an on-line, a fountain of information on the real life underground cat fight scene for decades. That guy saw all the legendary 8mm, super8, 25mm and 30mm and whatever xxmm silver oxide fights done in post-war Germany and France between women fighting for their next meal, and even merry old England, USA and the Land down Under. He existed and kept the flame burning before the rest of us knew we existed. He started me writing.

[MikeJV]

Hey Cage, I kinda remember that name from the old sexboards, etc... didn't he post stories too?

ps: I'm a 'dootering old fool' from the old days too, not many of us left that still write and post.

[cage]

Yes, he might have, I know a couple of people using Ajax in their name posted and so did a number of people post stories from his collection.

I still have an "Ajax" catalouge out in the archive collection dating back to the mid 80's, I did purchase a few of the "Womens League of Pain" stories. However the Mr Cage stories were shown as "Extreme Content" you aint kidding when you read "The Will" what a story !!!!
Thank you Mr Cage and also Ajax for keeping the UK supplied in the dark days before the internet.
The rumours abound of the archive film held by Ajax, any ideas where they ended up or does any of the more senior afficiandos have any descriptions of what they may contain. [img]eek.gif[/img]

One day I'm going to have to consider how to downsize my collection which has been built up over the past 30 odd years, mainly consisting of the UK's Swish publications "Amazons in action" and various other similar publications, there are also some videos. Please note that I'm keeping all my Brand X novellets, JM Rolen publications and certain Teez stories (if only an artist could illustrate some of those or indeed turn them into a DVD film and some of the Crystal Catfight magazine videos featuring Mary in her prime !! I may consider a swop for a Brand X Amazons Death Struggle "The KO" to complete that collection !!!! or indeed any genuine bare knuckle female fights on DVD

Suggestions of how to proceed with dispensing with some of the archive would be appreciated.
The cash value is not likely to be much but I dont want to just wrap them up in bin bags & skip them. This will be a work in progress and may take a while but any help from some of the UK contingent will be grateful as I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had to downsize.

Mike JV, keep up the good work in maintaining this forum it is appreciated as is the work of all the authors who take the time to contribute.

Yours, Dave
