The largest known repository of male devotee fiction on the
Internet!
Please note: All material posted on this site is of a
romantic nature. There are no explicit descriptions of sexual activity,
however, there IS reference to the fact that such activity goes on in most
of the stories. Typically, this will be no racier than what might be seen
on a daytime soap opera. Still, if this offends you, we suggest that you
look elsewhere for your entertainment.
All stories posted are, unless
specifically indentified, works of fiction. There is no intentional
reference to any actual person, living or dead, and any such reference is
completely coincidental and unintentional.
A bit
of History...
Many people who have visited the Secret Garden for years
have wondered about everything relating to it. Let's begin with a bit of
history.
The Secret Garden began in 1997 when a site called
"Ampmen" went belly up. This site had posted a collection of very high
quality male amputee pictures from the previous paralympics, and many male
devotees around the world were horrified when it just disappeared one
day without warning. The webmaster here had downloaded all of the
pictures, and put them up in a secret directory behind another site being
hosted, hence the name: The Secret Garden. What followed was nothing short
of miraculous. The image collection began to grow by 20-30
images PER WEEK as amputee devotees from around the world began
contributing their collections to the online community!
This was
the early days of the web. Before all of the instant messanger programs
came into being, the Secret Garden Chatroom gave a place for Male Amputee
Devotees to meet, hang out, and get to know one another. There were even a
sizable number of amputees who frequented the site before the ampunazis
made it politically incorrect for amputees to "like"
devotees.
Within six months of it's formation, people started
contributing Male Amputee Fiction to the site, and this became a popular
feature. By 1998 the collection of amputee men pictures was over 5000
strong and the amputee story collection boasted over 250
entries!
But success comes at a price. As more and more devotees
flocked to the Garden, one of the more vicious of the militant amputees on
the net set sites on us, and threatened legal action if pictures that they
claimed ownership of were not removed. This person also notified several
other amputees that their pictures were also posted on our site.
Although the vast majority of the pictures were here legally (having been
taken in public places) it was clear that the harassment was going to go
on and on. We pulled the picture collection, and for about six months, the
site was dark.
Enter 1999. The site reopened with the emphasis on
Male Amputee Fiction, and the name was changed to Secret Garden Stories.
The collection continues to grow to this day and is now over 600 stories
strong, including over 20 full-length novels!
It was clear that the
page patrons wanted amputee images. We tried any number of plans. For a
time the image gallery was reposted, but again, harassment from the
militant amputee community made it counter-productive. For several years,
there was a gallery of Electronic Surgery Male Amputee pictures, but that
ran afoul of the original images being owned by someone else, and the
legal owners, understandably, wanted them removed.
Finally in 2006,
the decission was made to enter upon the Male Amputee Rendering project.
This project uses an art program to create amputee images of imaginary
people the copyright to which is held by the site. In this way, we are now
able to offer our patrons the visual experience they seek without
infringing on anyone elses copyright, or subjecting any real
person to unwanted scruitny.
In February of 2008 it became
clear that reading was no longer the passion of a great many people, and
the site was placed in semi-retirement. (see Goodbye
Message here) The fiction collection will remain here and,
hopefully, continue to grow, but the webmaster is no longer spending a lot
of time maintaining it. We invite you to visit our new project: Ampgfx, and for non-amputee sensual art
search for the basicwiz gallery at Renderotica.
