I do hope that the others that I imitate in introducing myself in this particular section of the forum were correct in doing so, for I am doing so now.

Greetings to all. I am Zak. I worship naught but myself and my vanity, and adhere to no code but those that serve my existence and pleasure.

I have reckoned myself a god, and thus, a Satanist, for as far as I can remember, but not by such a name until about four years ago. Since then, I have tread the Devil's path proudly and with conviction, joining other like-minded folk on the way, and forming a small local circle of diabolically-inclined individuals in my hometown.

I am an avid bibliophile, and maintain a substantial library of intriguing literature, including all those works of LaVey that are commonly available, Gilmore's Scriptures, and Nemo's Fire. Additionally, I have quite a bit of off-the-beaten-path (so to speak) erotica, dated psychological textbooks of sexual deviance, individualistic philosophical works, assorted gothic works, and a growing stack of graphic novels.

While young and with much yet to experience, I consider myself a connoisseur of the erotic, putting forth great efforts to establish ideally sexually gratifying situations, and then communicate them through the production of literary works.

It is my intent that my presence here enrich me, as well as serve as at least an entertainment, if not an enrichment, to those peers of mine I might encounter herein.

In regards to erotica, it goes without saying Anais Nin's written works are amongst the classics of the genre.

I would presume you've also read Story Of The Eye by Georges Bataille. Widely considered to be the erotic masterpiece of the 20th century. And certainly one of the most important books of the time.

There are many others. But this is not the forum.

Welcome.

Story of the Eye is indeed among my collection, though I have as yet to finish it. I have an unfortunate tendency to hop from book to book. I have read the first few chapters of countless volumes.

It seems strange you consider yourself "connoisseur" of erotic literature and yet you do not finish reading the books.


Especially since Story Of The Eye is so short it could easily be finished in one sitting. The story itself is only about 90 pages long.

But each to their own. Again, welcome to the forums.

O no sir, I am not a connoisseur of erotic literature; I meant the erotic itself.

Thank you for your welcome.

I think this is the best introduction I've read here. It makes mine look silly, but I don't mind being silly, anyways.

The way you put everything is almost poetic... I like your writing style already, even just through an introduction!

Welcome! Hope you enjoy yourself here!

Oh yes... and I really like your picture. The hair and expression and.. oh, your clothes. They are just delicious to my eyes.

Didn't you used to post here a while back? I seem to remember your penchant for 19th century attire.

Regardless, welcome or welcome back!

HS!

Dear Price, Zak's on Undercroft.

Welcome, Zak!

I did indeed. I missed the dynamic. Things seem to have changed a bit hereabouts.

I thought so.
I didn't want to bring it up...you know, in case there was a reason to change your name.
I knew I could count on Hells to out you.

That's me, the outer!

Ha! Well, it is not any particular secret I wished kept. I was here once, and now I am here.

I wondered where you went off to.
Re-Howdy!

I do like to see a man with flamboyant style!

Welcome aboard.
