Well to answer your question, I do sometimes give small clues, but I generally like to keep things as a surprise with my regular subs. They know me well enough to know that I'm going to keep them safe as my number one priority. Outside of that, all bets are off as to what I may or may not do with them. *evil grin!* In this session, although I didn't tell him what I would be doing, I did put a post up on this site titled something to the effect of, "The Chairor of Terror is being prepped for its next victim". I figured I would just see if he was following the site and paying attention at the time. If he was, he would get a few clues as to what I had in store for him since he was literally on his way to the area when I put that post up. If not, it would be 100% a surprise for him. He didn't mention anything about having any idea, but as it turned out, I later found out from him that he did see the post and as a result he had a few hints in mind. However, he still didn't know exactly what I would use, how I would use it, in what order, etc.
