S. Leigh Farmer

Although an early pioneer of internet fiction, the author writing under the pseudonym "S. Leigh Farmer" was not at all comfortable with the intricacies of electronic document tools nor electronic communication.  For many years, Farmer's more daring work was created in longhand or on a typewriter.  Too risque for mainstream press and even beyond the limits accepted by most of the fringe publishers, Farmer's stories languished in relative obscurity. In the early 1990's, friends and associates aware of the unique talent, helped Farmer transcribe the printed fiction into electronic form allowing the stories find an audience through what was becoming the World-Wide Web just as the internet phenomenon was catching on.  The 'anything goes' spirit of internet erotica led the world to discover Farmer's unique talent for blending explicit sexual content with believable characters and fascinating plots.  The stories stood in stark contrast to the standard fare of adolescent fantasies, extreme fetishes and violent storylines that were the bulk of internet erotica those days. Sadly, an unforeseen convergence of events near the end of the twentieth century led to a sudden disconnect between the hardy band of supporters and the creative force behind those imaginative but titillating stories.  There would prove to be no further fiction from Farmer.  The cognescenti agreed to never divulge the identity or any details about the once reclusive - and now missing - author.  As a tribute, the people that had been part of the inner circle started this organization in Farmer's honor.
