My very first curiosity post was waaaay back at the end of 2009. It was the first time I invited you to ask me questions… I mean, who the hell is this ‘Ferns’ anyway?! Her ‘About Me‘ information totally sucks and she pretends like she is going to actually write something there BUT SHE NEVER DOES!!!
Given I am shamelessly asking you to answer questions about yourselves in my survey, I thought it only fair that I resurrect the dead and buried “Sunday Curiosity” and invite you to ask me questions and I will make up stuff bare my soul in my replies.
So go ahead, ask me stuff, anything, something, stupid stuff, things I can’t possibly answer. I promise I will give your questions my best shot, unless I don’t feel like it, then I probably won’t…

Have you ever “subbed”? :D
N: “Have you ever “subbed”?”
Great question!! I'm stalling… I'll see how many questions I get; if I get enough to make a post worthwhile, I will do a separate blog post, if it's just you and me all cosy-like under the cone of silence, I will come back here and answer. I promise!

You mentioned caning on twitter, Miss. What is your preferred caning style? Cold and formal, ala English boarding school, or …? Do you usually give a warm-up, or do you like to get straight to the suffering? Do you like to bare the boy yourself, or have him do it, or is the undressing not part of it for you?
Respectfully, Étienne
Ferns,
So this is a personal one. I love to read your blog and am an avid fan. I am always taken by the intensity of your encounters with the boy(s) you choose to have a relationship with, how you wish to consume them and have them submit to their core. Is this need to drive submission to the extreme make it very hard for your boys to submit to you long term?
Respectfully,
robert
Ferns,
When you learned that dominance, for lack of a better word, was an important part of your sexuality was there discomfort on your part given that such inclinations were unusual/wrong/opposite to societal expectations? If so..how did you process
the discomfort?
Thanks,
BJC
I remember very well that first “Sunday Curiosity” because it was the first time I posted on your blog and I've been following you ever since.
I can't help but wonder if you ever feel a bit overwhelmed by the amount of time and effort involved with keeping up with your online presence. Have you ever felt that the constant contact with your ever growing legion of followers to be exhausting at times?
Will you sub for me? * grins evilly while holding something behind her back*

I'll join Coug's team. Co-topping Ferns would be great fun. And, then she can write about it and not have to make stuff up. :-) Oh, and rumour has it she likes kissing. Yes, that could easily convince me to put my “top hat” on, purely for empirical research, of course! Does the same kiss taste better/different from the top or bottom?

Ferns,
— Romance and Kink Questions —
Following up on the “kissing” theme. Do you have a most memorable kiss and, if so, what made it memorable? Conversely, what is the worst kiss you've ever had and what made it so bad? Both of these questions somewhat fall under the category of “kissing and telling” so I'll understand if you elect not to answer, either on these grounds or simply because you don't feel like it!
— Vanilla, Non-kink Question —
You did say we could ask anything. I must vote in a referendum on whether to accept a new, VAT-style tax which will replace a sales tax partially levied at the manufacturing level (i.e. an embedded tax that then has further taxes applied at the consumer level). At first glance, the VAT tax seems simpler, more visible, and fairer. The VAT will also make our exports cheaper because it will remove the embedded tax (which, for better or worse, has a side effect of shrinking the tax base – fewer people must pay the same taxes). There is another catch though. While the new VAT rate will be the same as the old rate, it will be charged on a larger number of goods and is therefore effectively a tax increase. As citizens, we're supposed to suck this up as being good for the economy in the long run, good for business (they will no longer pay the embedded tax and they will receive tax refunds equal to whatever VAT they pay on materials and equipment), etc. Effectively, the public must make up the difference that businesses and exports no longer pay. I have my own views based on local conditions, but I'm wondering what the general pros and cons are of a VAT system. That's my question.
Oh… questions questions!!! Fun!!

You DID say we could ask anything! Besides, as addictive as your D/s, F/m, and shoe porn all are, there are other aspects of your mind that are interesting to probe. Did I forget to mention YOU SAID we could ask anything? :-) Just following orders, Ma'am. True enough, you also said you wouldn't answer if you didn't feel like it. So there you go. Perfect out. Don't tax yourself unless you want to!

Ok, I'll bite because it's a fantasy of mine:
Have you ever made a brat or subboy cry just by spanking him?
Clarence
Did you ever sub someone that you “met” via your blog and/or twitter?
I'm really curious about your looks, what do you look like?
What is an average day like for you? (Now I'll get to see how things have changed since I last asked)
Do you think your career and/ or professional ambition has influenced your sexuality? I assume you work in a business setting from some of your posts.
I assume you have no children. Do you ever think about having kids? bio or adopted?
These are *definitely* worth a separate blog post! It looks like it will be a long one, thank you!
Perhaps I shall do a series on Canadian VAT and other tax issues around the world…

Have you ever stood in front of a boy and given the order, in your best icy Domina tone:
“Enter me”
Heh. You know why I'm asking.

Ferns is teh sexy. Truly. She defines hotness with a unique combination of personality, intellect, physical looks, and charm. There are two spots (one on the right side of her upper lip and the other just above the nape of her neck) that beg to be kissed, though I'm reasonably certain she doesn't beg.

Ostensibly, I thought it impossible, however, teh sexy just got sexier.

I think you have uncovered a new fetish – tax code freaks. I can think of no worse punishment than to be tied up in a chair wide with my Domme reading the Canadian tax code to me in all its detail.
Robert
“no but I have sung Enter Night by Metallica horribly off key if that helps”
Oh Miss Coug, if only I could be present to hear you and Miss Ferns do that together. I would be swept up into an erotic heaven of sensual delight!!!

I'm struggling to find the point, but perhaps that is the point. Apparently Ferns likes to watch boys “struggle”. How thoughtful of you Sir Puppy!

puppy: “Gargh!!! Miss Ferns – stop him!”
Now, puppy, you *must* understand that when you react to someone who is being sweet to me with name-calling, there will be no protection coming from this quarter…
Perhaps if you lay back your ears, tuck your tail between your legs and make big puppy dog eyes, there may be sympathy and petting from the Metallica singing lesbian…

A reaalllyyy long post in response to these questions is coming on Sunday… you still have a few days if you want to chime in…
Go on, go on… you know you want to ask that thing… yes, THAT thing!!
Ferns
OK;
Miss Ferns, I know your style isn't icy and aloof. Yet a lot of subs have this fantasy of the 'ice goddess' – and at least a few Dommes, too. Would that kind of dynamic work for you, too – if only briefly? Or on a very restricted part-time basis?
Sir Puppington Lothian.
I'm puzzled by one of your questions from Sir Pupp,
Miss Ferns.
“Have you ever stood in front of a boy and given the order, in your best icy Domina tone:
“Enter me”
I wondered if the interweb bit off the tail end of that second sentence implying something entirely different than:
“Enter me in the meat raffle at that pub we like, sweety (yes, there really are meat raffles!) . I'm feeling lucky!”
This makes so much more sense. Sir Pupp?
Angus
Angus: “”Enter me in the meat raffle at that pub we like, sweety (yes, there really are meat raffles!). I'm feeling lucky!””
*laugh* Yes, yes, I'm sure that's what he meant…

Thank you all for the questions, answers can be found here.
If anyone wants to ask me something else, please head over there and ask away! I'd love to hear from you.
