Old Tickling Story "Another Realm"

Hello all,

I've been looking for this story for quite some time now! I remember reading it almost 20 years ago on a website I believe was called Another Realm.

The story was about aliens that came to Earth in order to take humans as pets, and their method of punishment was tickling. One thing that sticks out in my memory was one the characters lighting up a cigarette which caused her alien owner to tickler her so she'd stop.

I know it's a long shot! Does anyone else remember this story?

I found the website you mentioned but there's a lot of stories on there. I don't suppose you can remember the title or even just one or two words from the title? Or narrow down its publication date?

No, sadly :c Everything that I remember is in the above post. Though, I did skim through the stories they managed to save in their archive and sadly it doesn't seem like the story was able to be saved. I haven't looked through all of them yet, but so far nothing. Thank you for finding this site though!!
