In addressing the what is Under Consideration and how does it work....
I have a bit of experience with this as I have met several people from online and have had a few of them that I wanted to take to different levels and so they were under Me. Consideration is a time period that allows a submissive to basically strut thier stuff. They have earned this spot because the Dominant generally feels they would like to take the relationship out of a friendship stage and into something more. It gives the Dominant the right to control and to give tasks, however it doesnt give complete control. This period of time is basically like a vanilla courtship or a "show me you're interested and what you can do for me" phase, with the known intention that a collaring would be the next step, IF and ONLY IF the submissive meets the requirements set forth by the Prospective Dominant. In an even more broken down state its basically a trial period to see how compatable a Dominant is with a submissive or slave. It gives them the needed time as D/ss to so to speak feel eachother out. This does in my experience help keep the so names velcro collars down to a bare minimum as we can never really be sure what will come of any relationship and sometimes years after a collaring the relationship fails, but its always being thrown back as that person velcro collared someone else.

Competition??? OMG no way... I can admire someone without wanting them... ~laffin~
 
Trust me, I love to learn about people, how they work, how they don't work... and when someone seems level headed, regardless of whether life is giving him roses or lemons, I admire that...
 
Years ago the "nobility" educated themselves, but kept the peasant class ignorant. In this day and age, I enjoy that we can get together, free of charge and exchange great, useful and intelligent views side by side in the midst of those who seek determined to remain ignorant... The insightful and wise ones seem to shine in comparison... I want to learn from those ones, and share my knowledge in a way that emulates them at the same time... ~sheepish smile~ I'm rambling again ain't I???

I also didn't discuss the "house collar" since I don't know enough (even second hand) to attempt to explain it... I'd love to understand what function the house collar performs...

We've used a House collar throughout our lifestyle experience. We're a poly household, with multiple dominants, multiple servants, and several rings of interaction that our household operates within. Because of this, it is -very- important that our training and long-term servants understand that they will not be owned by one person, but by all of the free members of our household. This is a -very- challenging concept for some, especially when the individuals were either inexperienced and unaware of what a relationship with a household like ours might mean, or where the individuals in question came begging a collar with the intention of eventually belonging -privately- to one of the free of our household.

We don't give private collars. Everything within our household is shared property, including the servants. We use a House collar so that it is completely clear that a servant serves the whole of the House, and cannot expect to belong to any one individual.

For our long-time servants, there is a level of House collar at which he or she becomes a full member of our family. This, too, is a House collar, but what this collar represents is that point at which an individual moves from being an associate and friend, to the point at which that person is truly one of us, entitled to speak, vote and participate in the most intimate knowledge and decisions of our family.
