Karens World of FEET is........ 1 year old

The Past, Present and Future

Humble beginnings


This web site was first uploaded to the elitecities server on the 3^rd October 2003. It began with my sister Fiona, as nothing more than a collection of foot fetish stories. She spent months collecting stories and arranging for permission to host them off the writers.

It was as she said “a great way to bring the best stories together, instead of being spread about over the internet”. Another good reason for doing this, was that her favourite site went off line, permanently losing over a hundred fine stories that no one will ever see again.

As the site went live, Fiona spread the word of it throughout the various message boards she frequented. She already had 250 stories online at that point covering just two main pages. The homepage which was a sort of introduction and the archive page which was just basic text links to the story. (much as it is now)

Believe me; people think a site is easy to run, just upload a page and your done. That’s not the case. you have to format stories from text to html, upload and get the web address to that story marked up to a link.

Still think its easy? okay now add 250 pages to the equation, and you must ensure that no two pages are titled in the same name or you get cross links. Stories with the same name (lesbian sisters) have to be re titled to ensure they remain sperate. And if a writer wants his/her story removed you have to be able to find not only the story title, but also the web address, and the link to remove it. Then it has too be deleted from the server. Easy hey. Yeah like I said its not so easy. people build sites with an average of 30 pages. If that’s hard try 250 pages and know nothing about the Internet. (the site is now presently a lot bigger)

So moving on.

Fiona still had another 84 stories to upload to the server. Most had to be broken into two parts because of file size restrictions for upload. By the second week, Fiona had put up all the 334 stories she had collected. She also signed up to hotmail so people could contact her with more stories (birth of the footbabe1 account)

A simple hit counter placed on the site to see how many people came to see it. the first month online saw 1200 people visit the site. I recall her excitement as she told me how good that was.

Many emailed her thanks for putting the site up and asked a lot of questions about her personal life etc. Fiona put up photos and a bio of herself then spread word about the latest update. She was proud of her new found skill and so was I. The photos where massive, and would never upload but she learnt to use software that reduced the image size from 1.7mb to just 100kb without losing to much quality. Then she put them on a page creating thumbnails and uploaded. The result 3; 3;. Fiona's online bio was born.

A week later disaster struck. And the site went off line when elitecities run into bandwidth trouble (another skill you need to have). Undeterred she set about finding a new host for the site and came up with asstr. Again she repeated the whole process of starting again. All links to 350 stories had to be changed, people had to be told the new location and stories and images uploaded yet again. The site became active on the asstr server on 27^th November 2003.

As word spread, Fiona began to receive over 500 hits a week. A big jump from the last host. She installed a basic message board and eventually in January a basic chat room. By which time she had 875 hits per week. People started to send in stories and many got rejected as being to short or not up to the required standard.

It amused me a lot, as people thought she was harsh, but the whole idea was only the best got hosted.

Fiona had come a long way in such a short time, but feedback was slow and the message board even slower. Dejected after all the hard work she put in and feeling unappreciated, Fiona decided to let the site go without updates for a while. No one seemed to care much apart from me and some decent fans. Hits went back down to 1000 a month less than when she first started.

I loved seeing it develop and logged on from home when I could, to see what she done. Then I would phone her saying how great it looked (it really was Fiona).

Having got to the point of having no further interest in the site and taking to much time to keep it going, Fiona decided she had done all she could and asked if I would like to take over.

Me? sheesh! If big sis can do it then so can I. I told her she is to soft and gave to much to soon. People want it all without lifting a finger and she should keep at it. her mind was made up. she said a site like that needs someone with a load of attitude to see it through.

So enter yours truly 3;.

Now I don’t mind who I hurt, and if people think a young girl like me is going to be a push over then they had a lot to learn. I took a long hard look at the site and at other similar sites. The Fiona bio was first victim. Bye bye Fiona 3; your baby sis will handle it all from here I said to myself.

Next the message board, looking at other ones it was to basic and there were to many freeloaders there. bye bye to that. Whimpering weak males have no place where I’m taking the site to.

I posted a message on the homepage. “If you want a free site people then you can fucking work for it like I have to, so send me your stories”. Karate Kaz with a whole load of attitude was born.

I told Fiona to tell the message boards she went to, that the site now had a “hot new supper bitch in charge”. It worked; being the “Kaz with attitude” was what the site needed. Hits instantly went back up to about 900 a week. That’s 900 people watching my every move on site. But still no feedback.

More attitude, send me feedback and stories or I close the site. The 900 visitors spread the word as well trying to keep the site open. 900 went up to 1100 a week. Oooops not enough guys. Sorry. So I closed the site.

I am not stupid though. I closed it but left my email there. and meanwhile I was redesigning the site. Out went Fiona's colours in came mine. I had loads of emails asking me to re open the site. I told them go free load elsewhere.

At the same time I was uploading the new site ready to re open. In march the site re opened with 500 stories. A new php programmed message board, and lots of ideas for the future.

Depriving people of so many good stories worked. For when I re opened they came in large numbers. Me and Fiona hit just about every message board we could find with a foot fetish theme. By the end of march I was getting over 1500 hits a week. Massive figures for just a small free amateur site.

So all these people and still no stories being sent in. time for Kaz to kick ass. My photos and bio went live in march and I also put the chat room up. the more I done the more people came.

April saw a massive increase to over 4000 hits a week. Wow now that is a lot. And stories came in slowly but surely. The chat room was great fun to do when I had time to be there. and still I had a lot more ideas.

By May I had 550 stories online. A chat room and message board. The site got a steady 4000 hits a week, without even having to spread the word. “Kaz with attitude is just what the site needed” Fiona told me. I even wrote about me and Fiona, and what got me into the foot fetish thing.

The story generated massive interest. People emailed and posted messages about it. Fiona suggested I write about my school exploits. Wow an even bigger hit. But im still doing all the work and I wanted to feature authors on the site.


By the time the first author came along, the site was already established with over 8000 hits a week. A loyal following of fans (and friends).

The present......

Well.... Karate Kaz has mellowed slightly and not so much atitude is needed these days.
The site has about 3000 hits per day ( give or take a couple hundred) but never less than 20,000 per week. That’s massive figures for any site and colossal for a free amateur foot fetish story site.

So what about the present? Well lets see what is provided here shall we!

602 stories in the archive section.
4 of the finest authors resident on site. (SoleMann, Tower98, Lady Morgaine and Penny Ashcroft).
63 stories written by the resident authors which gives us 3; 3;
665 stories in total on the main site. However 3;
41 stories on the message board gives us a impressive total of 3; 3;..
706 of the finest stories anywhere in the world
with images, author pages, bio’s, features etc that’s 884 files on site.

You also have a chat room, php message board, links to quality free sites, No Adverts and no dreaded pop ups on site.

Okay, so the archive don't get many updates, but if people don’t send, then it will continue to be dormant makes no odds to me. I have refused to host many stories on the site for many reasons. Quality is the biggest reason. You can churn out the biggest pile of crap and publish anywhere, except here on this site. If I want to read a short story then I would purchase a book of poems, cause that’s about the size of some stories sent (less than 800 words).

As for what I get out of all this 3; 3; okay will everyone in the world stand up.

Right!, now sit down if you don’t have a web site of any kind 3;.. wow that’s millions sitting down.

Okay, now sit down if (“errrm lets see now”) if your site gets less than 80,000 hits a month 3; 3; kewl not many left standing is there?

Now if you site is a pay site or profit making “sit down” cause I don’t make on this and neither should you. fuck me, even less to compete with me now.

So lets really get down to it. of those left standing, sit down if you don’t have all of the following 3; chat room, message forum no adverts on site.

Aha now just one or two left, sit down if you don’t have a loyal fan base who support you when you feel like shit.

So now there's just me left standing. And that’s why I do it. I’m unique, I’m dedicated to freedom of speech and I have lots of attitude to see things through. It gives me a whole lot of fans to express myself with and a few fans are also what I call friends.

You know what a friend is? Someone you can trust and yell at and they go away still saying nice things about you. that’s what the site now gives me. More than a pass time, its like an extension of my circle of friends.

As for the future 3; 3;

The site will remain FREE for all time. and that’s a promise. It’s the best site of its kind in the world, and I would love to see it stay that way.

More authors, that be kewl to have. There are millions of stories out there in every conceivable category but 3;.. foot fetish stories are very much in the minority and people want more and more. So it be good having the central hub in that respect.

Now being a FREE site doesn’t mean im against pay sites as such. We all have to live and it’s a case of supply and demand. So 3;. Im not against an author selling his/her work on my site, providing they make available some relevant stories to the fans of the site in return.

I know of many sites doing this kind of thing as a side line, and they do it quite well with a much smaller fan base. So maybe part of the site will go in that direction. But that’s down to the author and not me.

As for models 3;. Well I have been asked by some who have pay sites if I will feature them on my site, in return they give my site some exclusive content. At present I am not set up enough to take them up on the offer. So maybe in the future the site will also have a free models section.

Dating service? Wow now that would be something to have. A free foot fetish dating service. No sign up, just place the ad and await the response. Again it’s a possibility, but its in the future and right now the future is a long way off.

Finally 3;..

There may come a time when I cant continue on the site, or I simply don’t want to do it no more. so just to let you know, if that happens. None of the stories will be removed. They will remain on line until my host removes them.. I’m told they wont ever do that as they make money by hosting me. (fucked if I know how, I don’t pay em lol)

Here’s to a great and successful 1^st year online, lets hope the site continues to grow and develop, so all the pervy people like me can have something to read in the winter months lol

And one last thing 3;.. Thanks to my resident site authors whose work makes the site as great as it is 3;. Without their skills and dedication to the site; we would have a lot less to read, and the site wouldn’t be as much fun without them. THANKS also to my sister who started it all off in the first place.

Your host

Karate Kaz . (Has anyone seen my attitude? I seem to have misplaced it somewhere lol)
