First off, I want to apologize to everyone for my long absence from this site! It was a combination of the paypal issue, personal issues in my private life, and, frankly, the lack of orders!
And let me address something...this is not a get rich quick scheme for either Jessica or myself. "Rich" would hardly be the word I would use. In fact, the lack of orders for webcam sessions and videos over the last six or seven months has beena little dismaying. I would think that people would LEAP at the opportunity to play out their fantasies, live, with a beautiful woman like Jessica. And she's not even expensive! I know models who charge five and six hundred dollas an hour! but I do undersdtand, if times are tight for you folks. Or if webcam capability is just not feasible. But I highly recommend it!
As for the videos, Wally's Surprise had had maybe six orders total since its debut. And this is one of the best stuck videos I've made! So you could say it's not very tempting to make another one if no one will buy it.
But we are planning on a robot video, and more freeze work. I don't know when we'll be able to do this, but hopefully soon.
As I said before, I apologize for the long absence. I should have posted something, but there were so many other things preocuppying both my and Jessica's minds this Fall.
By the way, if anyone knows of a good Paypal alternative, please let me know. I have researched so many companies, and none of them will accept an "adult" site (even one as tame as this).
Otherwise, it's going to have to be money orders and cashier's checks from now on. Also - I remember reading in a message somewhere on this board about someone preferring money orders to paypal, and that's the reason he hasn't purchased anything. But let me remind you - the money order option has always been available. You just send your order form and payment to the PO Box listed on the site.
To sum up, I'd like to get more product out there, but not sure when. In the meantime, there are some great freeze videos and a great stuck video to purchase, plus webcam sessions and 1-on-1s.

I want to second that apology! I too have been out of touch with everyone, and I apologize for that!
Things have been pretty crazy for both Guy and I, and all I can say is...I'm so sorry!
If anyone would like a session with me, I would love it!
And I would also love to hear your thoughts on my videos in the sections below!

You sold only SIX copies of Wally's Surprise? Hardly meets expenses. I figured you would've sold at least 50. Hear lots of complains about the lack of stuck content out there, People go out looking for more willing to do it, don't make much sense.
I made the get rich quick crack, didn't mean it to be a put down. Just the opposite, figured it was a GREAT idea, thought people would be pounding down the door. Excellent way to take in a few bucks for you and Jessica and provide a cheap (as in not too costly) thrill for us stuck fans.
Funny thing stuck fans, bikers and ricky racers have one thing in common. WE WANT EVERYTHING DONE YESTERDAY AND FOR FREE!! ;D

Firstly, welcome back Stuckfast and Jessica! ;D Certainly things can get in the way or generally make life difficult sometimes, thats why life called "the school of hard knocks".........?! This may sound a bit lame, but I dont want things for free. I sent Stuckfast an email a while back asking about availability of other stuck videos, another baby on way and impending purchase of our first home makes any purchase impossible yet Like for everybody, money doesnt come easy!!!

Well, it's like I said back when the webcam idea started... the idea is wonderful and comparatively inexpensive compared to similar services. And I'm tempted by it. But for myself and the one other person I know in real life that's into this stuff, the income isn't there to spend on a one time event, no matter how cool it may be.
Now as to the DVDs... I've been itching to get at least one for months! But then my DVD drive died. Replaced that, to have my hard drive start dying on me. Used up a bunch of DVDs to back it up, then bought a new drive... you get the picture.
Not being able to use PayPal is something of a deterent for me as well, since I have to get a cab to get a money order, and that costs more money. But this is my rather long winded way of saying that I am/have been VERY interested in getting Into The Fold and Lingers 4 & 5, but what little resources I have have been tapped out. I'm HOPING to be able to order one this month, but... Christmas and all... not sure yet.

I also liked the web cam Idea, would've used it but my dial up connection is pretty shaky, video would look like one of those monitors at a self check out counter. I'm strange, easily frustrated, when driving in the mountains I'd rather listen to nothing than hear my favorite song fade in and out because of interference from the canyon walls. Feel the same about video seeing Jessica do some klutzy silly sticky stuff via my crummy connection would only put me into a funk. Money's tight for me right now too BUT after Christmas I'd love to commission a short silly video featuring Jessica getting herself into various sticky situations. Hey I know there's more to stuck than bubble gum and toilet paper sticking to women's sexy shoes but you gotta admit it's funny. By the way I've heard of a service called Yow Cow which does the same as Paypal only they cater more to adult type stuff, they do charge a monthly fee and have been hacked a time or two. They might be an alternitive, could prove to be a pain in the butt too. I really don't know.

guy and jessica. welcome back to the forum. I missed you both. I would certainly be interested in doing a webcam session (hoping to work out prior mishaps). I would also like to receive the freeze dvds as well. It will probably be after the first of the year. BUt it really would be nice to see you and guy hook up a webcam for a simple open session in a chat room. to allow everyine to get to know you both again. Let me know your thoughts, greneker03

First of all, I want to say welcome back to Stuck and Jessica. I know that several folks wondered---myself included---if things were going to pick up again, and now we know that it will. That's great news.
I want to also personally add some kudos to Stuck for helping me with my recent DVD order. I had some mitigating factors that affected me ordering, and Stuck was very willing to help me get through them. So thank you, Stuck!
I read where you said there were plans in the works for a robot video. Awesome. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help (and when to order!)
And last, I would like to second Greneker's idea of a chat session. I know that I personally enjoyed talking to Jessica during the last two chats, and I know that others did too. Hope we get the chance again soon to hear what's been going on with Jessica and get some new ideas flowing,
So again, welcome back and keep up the good work!

Welcome back! We were starting to worry for a while but all is well now. ;D
I'm not sure if I'm the only one left here who's a fan of freeze as opposed to stuck but I might suggest the two of you (and anyone else interested) check out my idea in "A Haunting Suggestion" in the scenario suggestion section.
Bear in mind it was posed just before Halloween and sort of reflects the spirit of that holiday, but might still be interesting.

Can picture a story like that on that old TV series Tales from the Crypt.

As a suggestion...I still am paying for stuck videos. There are sites out there that will do 15 min. personals for a reasonable fee. My problem usually is that they try hard but being new to stuck, still do not get it...Have you thought of doing paid request videos as well as clips for sale of 5 minute stuck or freeze scenarios. There are a lot of sites out there making real money on these quickie downloads. Takes them almost no time to make them. Create an album and take in the sales. Most of what I see is usually a buck a minute on the clips, and 50 bucks a model on the 15 min. videos..There is no doubt that you know sticky. You just need to market it better. If you make them, I will buy them....MADDAD

From what I gather billing is still a major issue. Outfits like Jonny Nova and Chloe's Creations have computerized credit and debit card readers to collect funds. These machines are expensive and also require a fairly hefty monthly fee to keep them on line. I'm pretty sure a fair amount of computer savvy is also needed. I have no idea of what a set up like that costs in time and money but I'm sure it's a burden to someone with fairly limited resources a regular full time job. By the way although the download thing seems to be the cheapest way to go BUT you then are pretty much limited to those with DSL or better connections. What about all those still on dial up? What about those living where DSL isn't available yet and don't want to bend over and fork out to the cable company for what I hear can be questionable service? I for one WON'T buy a clip that will take several hours to download, too many things to go wrong during the process. Think about this what if after downloading the clip it doesn't play are you going to offer tech support or simply say to the customer "dude you're screwed". For obvious reasons refunds are not an option. You do notice that at Jonny Nova the disclaimer pretty much states just that. There's got to be a better way.

These companies charge huge fees and the videos/sessions don't sell enough to cover those fees. It's sad. Really sad. It isn't worth it to sign up for most of these places, I've looked and it would actually cost Guy & Jessica to do them.
Again, they've dissapered and I'm sure I'll get reamed for posting another "Anti-Stuckfast" message, as he called it... but this is getting annoying, where are they this time?

Hey welcome back, long time no post. I wouldn't call what you said "anti-Stuckfast" not at all. Stuckfast KNOWS what stuck should look like problem is the man tends to drop out of sight all too often without any explanations. Not only is it annoying from your standpoint but not really sound business practice either. I'd like to see Jessica and Stuckfast make another video but the way they keep disappearing like that makes me think twice about wanting to invest any money. At least with the "other" video companies you get pretty quick replies and what they're putting out keeps getting better and better. As a matter of fact Chloe's Creations just released another sticky high heeled video which I DID just order, 45 dollars but it looks well worth it.

Someone is making a lot of extra money selling 3-5 minute clips of any fetish you can imagine. Some of these sites are done by people just out of college. My point being again, that instead of worrying about the handful of 30 buck videos ,one might sell, because the video may not appeal to every ones stuck preference, go for the multiple quick hits. Vary the stucks. They could make 20 ( 5 min.) clips of various quickie scenarios in an hour of effort and offer them for internet sale. Stuckfast could take his old videos and break them down into segments for clip sales on the internet...It will work if he chooses to do it...MADDAD

As of lately quick clips tend to sell the best. Nice to see story lines but a lot of trouble. It seems that most paying customers like to see sexy high heeled shoes in stretchy gum or glue. I'd also like to see Jessica in some tight shorts or jeans get stuck to a chair, not much to making clips like that at all. Then again this brings everyone back to the original problem just how to you collect payment? Paypal is out and the INTERNET billing machine service is too expensive. I'm starting to look into what it takes to start producing quickie stuck vids. Plan on picking up a DVD camcorder and taking a video production class at a local adult education center. All one really needs is a decent video camera a computer with a DVD writer. I've got an excellent eye for detail and know a lot about adhesives, all I'd need is a few willing models and some cheap but sexy shoes to trash. Sounds like it might be fun if nothing else.

Something does not make sense..MADDAD Paypal tends to target web cam sites, whether their sexually related or not. Kind of did some poking around here, someone using a web cam for an aerobics workout site is just as much at risk as someone using their web cam site for hard core porn. Those caught get their paypal accounts deleted. Don't make much sense but that the way they work it. Now if Stuckfast sets up another Paypal account under a different ID and starts producing quickie clips for downloading he probably could get away with it. After making enough clips to create a decent DVD he can also sell them to people still on dial up. That's what I would do in his place but then again I'm pretty sneaky.

I'm starting to look into what it takes to start producing quickie stuck vids. Plan on picking up a DVD camcorder and taking a video production class at a local adult education center. All one really needs is a decent video camera a computer with a DVD writer. I actually have taken such classes. It was part of my major in college. The classes will likely teach you the official steps in producing a film or video. By that I mean the whole process they go through at studios in Hollywood and the like. First you have to come up with a treatment which is basically the idea of what you want to do. Then you have to come up with a full script, including what happens in each scene (not just a general explanation). Then storyboard each scene with pictures so that when you approach producers for funding they can visualize the final product before putting their money down. Then you have casting, props, etc. and so on that you have to arrange. Basically, in the big business there is a lot of crap one has to go through before you even get to point the camera. On the other hand if you were funding it yourself, using minimum props, shooting in your own house or a location you have access to, and keep the cost of the talent down then you could skip a lot of that process. That's basically what we did when we had to film our class projects. I believe that is what a lot of the independent video producers are doing, such as Thermocline Films and their Everage series (what ever happened to them?).

I kind of thought you had some video background, you certainly come up with some GREAT scenarios, know your stuff you do.
When I was in collage, well actually jr. collage I knew a a dude taking such a course, it was as you say. Some friends and I actually helped him produce a short subject video, what else but a slapstick type comedy. It was sort of a pain in the butt, still it was fun. Wish I still had a copy but it turned to dust long ago.
What is offered at this place is much simpler. Basically you're taught editing and a few other useful techniques. More for the casual user than someone wanting to go pro. You know someone who wants to make and share home movies via the internet as well as creating their own DVD's.
Classes meet two times a week with a lab session usually on Saturday morning. Not sure what sort of software they're using just yet but they offer classes for both the MAC and PC machines.
