... Has anyone else gotten leeched like this before or put trust in someone willing to use it to their advantage? I'd love to read some stories to relate.

in a way yes. i help a girl recording quite a bit. i always try and keep sex and art seperate though.
i didn't want to get into bed with her but she uses me quite a bit. she was round last night actually, moaning
about some studio she had been in and she wants me to do all the mixing again.
its funny, i like her even though she is awkward and a bit up herself. i don't want to go out with her though.
i get her to sing on stuff so it works out, just about.

i've been leeched, but a little different.
there was a period when i was doing a bunch of demos, the deal was usually no money, i'd work in writing or something. it was fine for the time. then there was a girl who had me do stuff, i'd complete entire tracks, like pressed and ready to go, and then she'd say stuff like "i want to sing the whole thing over again," or "can we have it 3 bpm faster?" or "i rewrote this whole song". eventually i just kicked her to the curb (not soon enough, it got pretty painful trying to satisfy her demands), but not before some nasty emails she shot me, and writing up a contract.

thanks for the stories, I kinda get it. Its like being led on to put your work and soul into something and then be let down feeling like you wasted you're time but the other party used it with out gratitude.
like making cookies with someone and then they eat them all and say that the ingredients you put in ruined them.

shizzle... but wow, you learned. That's amazing, because I swear it took me sometimes several screw ups in my life before I learned the lesson. Be thankful you only let it happen this once. Best be sure to give a witness to your pals about that, I hope. But ah, I'm sure you have.
