As many in the community know, Flagg passed away around 23:10 on 10/06/2009 due to complications after a double organ transplant. All of us here in his pack are devastated by his loss and I am sure each of us will, in their own spaces, comment upon his passing as we feel the need. While Read more »

Why So Quiet?
Posted on 28th Mar 2008 400 commentshttp://www.the-estate.com/2008/03/why-so-quiet/Why+So+Quiet%3F2008-03-28+08%3A39%3A49Soulhuntre
Things have been quite on this site – yet obviously SirC, Flagg and I have been busy and active in the community. This seems to be confusing some people.

The Estate is currently basically dormant while Flagg recovers from a temporary illness and SirC learns a trade that involves (and I am not kidding) running her hands all over the seriously wounded flesh of strangers.

The East Wing Perspective on Training vs. Romance As my peers have noted in their articles, this subject, while completely clear to us as we discuss it within our group is somewhat more difficult to express to the community at large. I myself sat on this subject for more than a month (actually, much more) Read more »

Training vs. Romance: The View From The North Wing I outlined this piece no fewer than four times. I was trying to eliminate the tone of inherent judgment. I’ve realized that is not going to be possible. "Vs." implies contest, and by virtue of selecting one method over the other I have made an endorsement. Read more »

The East Wing Perspective on Protocols in The Estate: What and Why When we formed The Estate, it was with the specific goal of codifying what we like into a structured, well thought-out and consistent set of rules and guidelines that could be used all the time.

The West Wing Perspective on Protocols: Intent and Practice To clarify my terms: There may be some confusion as to what a Protocol is- I would first like to point out what a protocol is not. Protocol is not ritual, although it may contain ritual elements. Ritual is a behavior, repeated by situation or on Read more »
