Lets see...this reads more like a history of the net because BE writings have been around for centuries (milennia if you count the Aboriginal legends of the sisters....)
What was his name (DruulEmpire, is that it?) was writing BE stories for men's magazines in the late 80's, our only erotic refuge of the time. I must have reread those stories a dozen times until another one was written. One of the other old farts will have to tell you about telnet and the old BBS's. From what I understand BE and fakes were around, even then. BE stories were well constructed yet often verbose (Al- Some Sort Of Dog, still owes me a ream of paper for trying to print out one of his stories) and were tucked quietly away all over the web. The web was new, and Spam was unheard of, but search engines were archaic. It was hard finding BE. Popular phrases had yet to be coined (or at least exploited) which would allow a websurfer to easily navigate the WWW.
I believe it was 93 when AASB (alt.alt.sex.breast) became a website and folded within the year.
At the end of its run a tiny new site emerged... the BEA (I still remeber that awful seafoam background). The honorable Reverend Doctor Monsoon Macman tried his hand at morphing and even offered an ftp home ('93) to those wayward BE files abndoned by A. Cotto ('92). R&D was a plain text newletter mailed out the members of the BE-Buddies, a shrouded (and sorted) group of people, many of whom were the founding backbone of the BE movement(have we had any new members in years?).
Wren-spot as well as Diana's Valkerie carried the ever popular R&D, while Cheviot's Place was in its inception.
The IRC channel #!!BE_LOFT was in existence in 94 and the first incarnation of the website was created shortly after. A redesign came in 96 and in 2000 the LOFT abandoned Dalnet.
I'll have to double check my log dates and saved newsletters to verify these years. Until then, you can go on believing that I made this all up.
