We happy few who take pleasure in edgy lesbian erotica suffered an enormous loss a few months ago when the Story Friends Board was shut down due to a lack of funds to keep it alive and active. That loss is what prompted Cheryl, Naughty Mommy, and myself to set up the Readers Forum at this site — to give our regular visitors a place to congregate and network, as well as exchange ideas.
Not long afterward, another unfortunate setback loomed before us. It was announced that the Lesbian Lolita site, usually referred to by its original name of Leslita, was soon to be taken down as well — in this case due to reasons of health. Naturally, its many loyal readers were stunned and saddened.
It’s difficult to overestimate the importance of Leslita to those of us who have been regular readers and contributors. I posted my very first erotic story there nearly eight years ago and immediately felt a part of something special. Through the years, many of us have made connections and forged friendships at LL that endure to this day, not to mention taken pleasure in its hundreds (thousands, even) of sexy stories!
Naughty Mommy, Cheryl, and I wholeheartedly agree that Juicy Secrets would never, could never have existed without the trailblazing efforts of Leslita, all made possible by ‘C’, the administrator who started and maintained it for over a decade, and whose health problems made it necessary for her to bow out of the day-to-day trials of running a website for free. We honor her hard work and generosity, and send best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Upon learning that Leslita was soon to close, my partners and I speculated on what was to become of the many, many stories to be found there. Between us, the idea of trying to salvage the best of these was floated… and in the end, the three of us decided that we were just crazy enough to tackle such a project. To that purpose, the Juicy Secrets Archive was established.
We quickly fell into a useful division of labor: I researched and posted stories, Cheryl proofed and tidied them up, and Naughty Mommy made them look beautiful on the screen. For the next couple of months, we frantically gathered as many favorites as we could carry, posting at least a couple every day, trying to get the best of the best for Juicy Secrets before Leslita was to be closed. (Eternal gratitude to ‘C’, for kindly giving us extra time to accomplish the task.)
Then, while in the midst of reading, posting, editing and formatting stories, we got a great piece of news — Juicy Secrets friend Jenny had offered to take over as administrator of Leslita and keep the site going. ‘C’ handed her the wheel, and a precious resource for lesbian erotica was thereby saved. We salute Jenny with all six hands, and wish her a fulfilling tenure as captain of a very special ship.
Which led my partners and me to an especially relevant question: since Leslita was still alive and well, should we take down the page?
In the end, our decision was to keep the Archive up and active, but clearly a name change was needed. Henceforth, this corner of our humble abode shall be known as Best of Leslita.
We’ll occasionally add a vintage story or two to the page as we stumble upon them — but nothing especially new, so as to give Jenny and Leslita exclusive possession of recently-posted stories for at least a year, usually more. Our goal is to shine the spotlight on lesser-known but very deserving tales from the site. Naughty Mommy, Cheryl, and I hope that these will give you a great deal of pleasure — and encourage you to fully explore the breadth and length of Leslita for yourselves. It’s a mind-blowing ride.
In conclusion, we renew our fervent thanks to ‘C’, for striking the match… to Jenny, for taking up the torch… and to you, dear readers, for all the love and support you give to both sites.
