personally i like a build up..setting the scene..for me it's not just about the tickling..that gets a bit old...i like a plot with details and plenty of descriptions..plus i don't like the hehehehehe's or hahahahahah's..but write how you feel...write for yourself, and if others like it great..the first time i wrote a story here, i was very hesitant about posting as i was sure it was badly written. and learned since how to format correctly...just write whatever you like..i'm sure it will be terrific..
Hiya Mark!

First congratulations that you want to take the plunge!! I think anyone who braves putting something out there deserves praise for going for it - even if it is badly written
😛
That said, i think the advice you have received here is pretty sound:
-Write the story that flows out of your tickle spot!
😀
If you include a lot of heeheeheehees or if there are few, if there's a built in setting and plot or not go for what feels good to you. All it means is you will attract the readers who share your interest.
Goodness knows there are enough members and lurkers around here to cover every taste.
🙂
Still, don't neglect the practicals. Definitely do the spell check!!

It is critical!!
None of us are perfect, but nothing is a bigger turn off than trying to wade through writing with a lot of glaring errors. (i know, i cringe at my earlier stuff!!

)
Also, you will enhance the quality of your work if you read aloud to yourself what you have written. That way you can catch the things your spellcheck misses, like "eye bough two yore porous" instead of "I bow to your prowess".
As for taste: Notwithstanding what i said above, it's always good to hear from people about their reading preferences. So, speaking personally, I'm pretty much with Izzy on this.
I like the context fleshed out. I like some description. I need a good plot. I like characters that are mostly but not totally "good"/"evil" - For instance, I like to see something decent in the evil 'ler and something questionable in the good 'lee. This makes it easier for me to relate to the characters.
Personally, I'm pretty equal about the whole written 'laughter' thing. It's easy to read or skip depending on my mood.
For me the sexuality can be there or not. But i totally luuv the romance!!
Anyway, Mark, I hope this helps...
But even if not, Mark, i wish that for you the creative juices will flow and your Muse will be kind!!

:
Many blessings in your writing!
