What counts as "outside the tickling community"?
In my case, I've posted a number of my stories on my DeviantArt site, I've shown some of my stories to the "bondage" community (both tickling and "just bondage" stories), and I've been flogging my two (bondage-heavy, but little or no tickling) fantasy novels to various publishers.
In the last case, the reaction has been the standard rejection letter.
