Update:
I sent her an email threatening to file a DMCA complaint if she failed to take the page down. She has complied. Below is the email I sent, her response and mine to her.

THIS IS ALSO WHAT I POSTED IN RESPONSE TO YOU ON THE BOARD WHERE YOU POSTED....
Ouch. I suck at business. I do. But I've been pretty up front with
you as to what was going on. You joined this board just to post
something nasty about me.
If you look now- your content is gone, and we no longer even accept
freelance submissions. I have been upfront with you throughout this
process. I apologize for the delay, but Western Union would not
allow me to open a business account, and PayPal doesn't not allow for
transactions for Adult Services. I was going to sell the site, but I
decided that I want to see it when it's finished and all the
Challenges are written... although Mistress Z and I will be writing
them ourselves.
I owe you $25 plus the $10 for being late, and in spite of the fact
that you have sent me nasty e-mails, publically maligned me, and
generally been quite the bitch (and not in the good way), I'm going to
pay you. But you are at the bottom of the list now... because as you
asked, your content is down.
Alison
PS. If you had actually read the Submission Guidelines that were up
when you posted this- they clearly stated that there was an issue
with payment, and that we were delaying acceptance of Submissions.

AlisonX,
You know very well the emails I posted were unedited other than to remove my personal information and address. I can't imagine why you are telling me otherwise - I kept them all - they are on my hard drive. I suggest you look at them again on yours.
You also know as well as I do that you didn't alter the webpage to read that you were having difficulties paying, well, until after you were. You wrote me an email apologizing for the difficulty as if it were the first you'd encountered it. You did not have a disclaimer on the website stating your payment difficulties when you placed the ad on Craigslist.
I can't imagine why you are trying to tell me different - this is the computer age, emails record interactions in an easily retrievable format - I have only to look at our interactions on my computer to see that you are mistaken.
I can't believe you expect me to keep quiet about this!
I only posted public warnings after I asked you to take the page down repeatedly and you not only didn't but lied and said you had. You had every opportunity to prevent anything from reaching the public eye. You could have just taken down the page as you said you had. I asked more than once and gave you plenty of time to do it. I even wrote you another email giving the benefit of the doubt, because perhaps you didn't realize that removing an item's link from the index page was not the same as removing the item itself. The page was still up yesterday. You did not remove it until I told you you must or I'd file a DMCA complaint. It took threat of legal action to get you to take it down. And somehow, this makes me the bitch.
Sincerely,
Kylyssa
