Old Lost Image Search

Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone might have an old image in their archives. The image was from the very early days of the Aurora Universe. It was one of the first images that I saw when I first stumbled across the Tales of Aurora stories. The image was of a blond woman leaning against a rock while wearing a bikini. She had been photoshopped so her left arm was holding a large boulder. I recall the caption being something like "50 tons is nothing for a Velorian." The only version of this image that I could find was a tiny thumbnail picture that I stumbled across on the WaybackMachine site. There are a lot of images out there of super girls holding large boulders, but this does have a bit of a nostalgic place in my heart. Would love to have a larger copy to add to my collection if anyone still has this image.

I don’t recall that image, but let me dig around in the oldest stuff I have abd look.

Some (most) people are much more organized than me. Thanks.

That picture was crafted (not by me!) about 30 years ago, back in the earliest days of the AU.. Still works.

Amazing how time passes. And how, in many ways, things never change.

I remember it well, but.....

30 years ago???

My earliest AU stories date to the beginning of the internet. I started writing the Adventures of Aurora between the end of the BBS era and my first commercial ISP precense in Australia around 1992. By 1995, the AU had many participants, authors and artists. This image appears to be from the earliest days. So maybe 23 to 25 years ago, although the writing goes back to the late 80’s.

Before that I was writing FemDom stuff for a BBS site that I think might have evolved into Diana the Valkyrie site when it came to the internet. But by that time I’d gone my own way with the AU. Thanks to a technical collaborator in OZ who could code my stories up in HTML. Eventually I coded it myself. There weren’t tools that did it for you at the very beginning. I wrote in an old but very powerful editor called EMACS, if anyone remembers that. Very Unix geeky stuff.

Not many of us who are still writing in this genre can remember the ‘joys’ of sharing stories before there was an internet. Hint: it’s gotten easier. A lot.

Thank you!

Just a note, here's a considerably better version of this pic than the one posted previously.  I still find a lot of these old manips with huge biceps charming!

Thanks for the image. Been experimenting with re-creating older images via AI. Could fix the right hand with a little work but just wanted to experiment with the image. Hope you all enjoy.
