Would you like to help me educate new generations of BDSMers and straight folks too about long-term, real-life kink relationships? You are all invited to contribute personal essays or autobiographical reflections for the 20 Up SM Project.I selected Cleo Dubois to debut this on-going series and she will be giving us monthly installments on her biography through the end of this year. I hope to feature serialized biographies of other SM celeb types as well. But I would welcome and enjoy hearing from anyone who has been in a long-term kink-based relationship and is willing to say a few words (or paragraphs) about their experiences. Here are the guide s:    1. I'm looking for short essays (500 words or less) about people's personal experiences in keeping kinky relationships alive and well in the long-term. What are some of the keys to your successes? Did you make any mistakes that others could learn from? How has your relationship grown or evolved over time? 2. This project is 100% pansexual. As long as kink has been a part of your relationship, and as long as that relationship has lasted 20 years, you are invited to contribute and help educate others about the possibilities, and realities, of kink life.    3. You may choose to remain anonymous in public, but in private I'll need some proof that you are a real person. To prevent pranks, if I don't know you personally, I will ask for verification of your identity.    4. You must own the copyright to what you give me. It's okay if you've published it elsewhere or are excerpting it from a book you've written, but it must be your original writing and you must have full rights to republish it here.    5. Contributors are welcome to share images, links, and promotional materials on any events, groups, or businesses they're involved with, as long as rule #4 applies.6.
