Hey everyone,

Life has kept me off of here for quite awhile but I just had a wonderful idea for an erotic tickling story. I don't want to share what I have as far as plot goes, that will have to wait for when I post, but I was just wondering if I can get input for things you all look for/like in tickling stories and what to avoid. I really want to make this into an amazing story, but want to make sure it appeals to those it's meant for.

I already know to avoid things like "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA" and the like (that annoys the bejeezus out of me, too). But anything else please reply! Thanks!
 
Anything with a hot girl getting tickled is good enough for me 😉 I know that isn't very helpful, but I'm really open mined beyond that.
 
Woohoo! A topic I know a little bit about...

You seem to have this covered already based off your post, but paragraphs are important. No one wants to read a wall built from words. I know that seems like something really basic but, as you've no doubt seen for yourself, plenty of people still post stories that are a single paragraph.

In terms of the "HAHAHAHAHAHA" I think it definitely has it's place. Personally I tend to try and mix it up, a lot of description, a but of "HAHAHAHA". The trick is doing the laughter in a manner that doesn't seem ridiculous, lines and lines of nothing but "HAHAHAHA" is just silly. No one's going to read every single "HA" and it does nothing for the reader anyway. But something like "AHAHA! Oh no! PL-PLEHEEEESE!" might work a little better.

The most important thing I'd like to stress is, describe your characters. There is a common technique in many, many modern novels (The last 20-30 years) where the author won't describe their character's appearance at all, or very minimally "He is tall". Personally I don't believe this is a good technique when trying to write erotic fiction (which isn't to say it can't ever work, just that it doesn't very often). As with any story you want the reader to be able to create as vivid a picture of what's happening in their mind as possible -with erotic fiction, that picture is primarily going to be your characters. No one reads erotic fiction to find out what kind of house Mary Sue Ticklish lives in, they read it to see Mary Sue Ticklish get all hot and bothered.

Not as important, but something I try and do personally, is describe the character's early on. Sometimes the story just doesn't allow you to do it right away and you have to wait, or you don't want to do it clumsily "Mary Sue walked in, she was 5'9, blonde, long legs, wore size seven black boots with a blue tight shirt and also she had green pants" sounds silly. It's an information dump and it can be challenging to get the information across in a natural way. Sometimes you might need to spread that information over several paragraphs. The benefit of describing the character's early on in the story, is that most readers won't develop their own image. If a reader develops his or her own image of a character who's tall, slim and has black hair, then finds out halfway through the story that the character is actually short, fat and has a bright red afro, it's going to be almost impossible for the reader to change the way they view the character.

I feel like I'm probably telling you information you already know and I apologize, mostly I'm just excited for the opportunity to discuss writing technique. That said, I'll also add: Be descriptive. "John tickled Sally's feet for ten minutes and then tickled her armpits". Boo, hiss. That sucks. So he tickled her feet for ten minutes? Awesome, but what happened in those ten minutes? Did Sally sit there and read a magazine, or was she going berserk? How was he tickling her feet, did he stay in one spot, did he move around? Was it light tickling or rough, did he find a particularly bad spot and stay there, or was he nice about it?

I hope *some* of that is helpful. I'm not even entirely sure it's what you were looking for, either way I wish you the best of luck with your story and look forward to seeing what you come up with! 😀
 
The only thing I really have trouble with is poor language conventions -- it looks like you don't have a problem with that.

The main thing I think makes a story great is the author's own openness about what they personally love (presumably explained through their characters). The best erotic stories on the Internet are written by people who are brave enough to write exclusively and selfishly about what they love themselves. There are some fetishes that I've come to appreciate deeply because authors were willing to write in detail about what it's like to have them.
 
I have to agree with most of the folks who have already replied. My only real advice, write what you like. When you don't, the words lose passion. There's no real substitute for true devotion to any topic. For instance, I prefer M/M, but, even if you were willing to add it to your story just for that demographic, that section of your story would lose interest just because it's probably not a topic you enjoy and not something you would normally write about. So that's all I can tell you. Write what you like.
 
Good morning, dark,.... Mantis gave some really good advice on the construction and appeal of a good story. To that I'd like to add the reminder that there is only so much an author can do in describing the "event" of tickling between two people (ok, or more)...... All the rich beautiful descriptive prose in the world will still leave a void for the astute reader if the circumstances of the event do not have some compelling backdrop or twist,... if there is no reason why this event is important to share with a story. Many times, tickling is just tickling,...... stories need something unique.

Similarly, we don't write stories about just anyone (unless you're James Joyce writing Ulysses) Characters need to be developed in a manner which embraces or dovetails with the singularity of the event, the setting, the circumstances,... the "angle." Writing a good story is not like issuing live commentary on a baseball game. A good story engages the entire mind of the reader - not just the part which is looking for a quick substitute for absent real life fetish experience. (Too many of those, in my view) A good story substantively adds to the reader's life and understanding,....
 
It's funny how one has notice the importance of proper grammar and sentence structure when writing. I try to avoid such things like you said with laughter. I like to add dialogue and set the scene.

For Example:

She awakens in state of immobility. Thoughts rush through her head of possibly being paralyzed which sets off an intense rush of fear that flutters in her stomach. As her barrings start to return she sighs with temporary relief; noticing that she is tied to a table. That temporary relief lasts but a mere millisecond because a face emerges from the darkness with a sadistic smile. Her eyes widens with fear as he shows her the tool of her upcoming torture. She shrieks and her muscle spasm with anticipation. The shadow of the tool seems to be in the shape of a long knife. However, when the light reveals its true identity, the woman's breaths become fast and her heart rushes blood through her body. He takes his weapon and puts it on her exposed sole before gliding it up to her burgundy painted toes. A scream is heard followed by the familiar sound of joy. What? Is this some sort of joke? Laughter explodes through the dark room.

"Naaa...NOOO!!! Not that!" She managed to blurt out between fits of uncontrolled laughter.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Something of that sort...that was just done off the top of my head. I like to refrain from using "HAHAHA" too and instead describe the laughter after dialogue.
 
These are all awesome suggestions, everyone. I really truly appreciate it. And for further note, I don't plan on this being a short story that may last two or three pages. I'm planning on this having chapters. So there will be a lot of character and situational development, back story and the like. Please keep the replies coming!

Well, I'm not sure how dark you are, Miss DT? As a reader of tmf fiction, I really like reading about strong female characters who don't have to necessarily be beauty queens with model hot bodies. I like lees who are intellectually intact as well as funny and free spirited (or only one over the other) As a writer, I like to take strong female characters and break them with all types of tickle torture, including erotic. I find that breaking strong characters, whether they're male or female can be a great juxtapose. Especially if you have them get their strength back and eventually defeat their torturing nemesis whether revenge tickling or a swift ass kicking.

I'm also dabbling into the Tim Burton world, combining dark elements and combining them with tickling erotica. My Haunted Mansion series has some of that theme, at least I hope it does lol. I know a lot of girls that are turned on by the thought of a Dracula esque figure erotically tickling them. I wouldn't mind the same thing, but with Elvira or Angelica Huston from The Witches instead 🙂
