You know, I'm sort of collecting a bunch of people to see in Seattle, so it might be sooner than you think. I'm flattered you asked!
There are several forms of "flying" a submissive, pix's corset/harness setup actually has her more or less vertical, in a "kneeling" position. It works as I find "access" to be easier (as I can keep her legs together or apart more easily). However, even a regular corset ALSO works as a nice way to distribute weight from the "diamonds" along the torso, and allows her to be horizontal and suspended for much longer. If you've got a corset, you might want to (respectfully) suggest it to your Top/Dom next time they determine it's time for you to go flying.
Stress positions while suspended are amazing, as long as it's remember that TENSION is the stressor, not weight. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. Wish I'd been there to see it!
Next question?

I'd be honored to be on the list of Seattle people you're "collecting." Are you familiar with the CSPC? I'm a member there, and can bring you and pix as guests if you'd like to check it out. That's where I do most of my playing.
At the moment, I don't have a Dom of my own, so no one decides for me when it's time to fly. I have a handful of partners who do suspension, so I make a playdate with one of them when our schedules and desires allow. The vertical position you describe sounds interesting. I've been on my side, on my back, face-down, and partly inverted, each of which are fun in their own way. I particularly like it when my legs have separate rope harnesses, because it allows more range of motion. I feel like I'm literally dancing on air as I stretch and move. The stress positions were particularly good for that - instead of relaxing and just floating in place, there was constant muscle tension and an irresistible urge to shift and squirm in order to relieve the strain. Delicious! I don't currently have a corset, but now you've got me thinking about getting one. It makes sense that it would distribute the pressure of the ropes onto a wider area, making it less painful.
And now for another question: have you ever done any fire play?
