Plot brainstorm!
hey so I write tickle-fiction occasionally, and I find myself more and more interested in the specifics behind the plot of stories. Like, I understand the motivating factor for writing the story being that the reader wants someone to get tickled… but what I’m interested in is the “why?”
for example, I’ve always had a fantasy about college girls tickling each other- but that fantasy just seems so incomplete without a plot. Why are they tickling each other?
So I thought maybe it has to do with a sorority initiation… but that’s still so bland! That’s still not a plot…
so I made up this scenario where a girl pledges to a sorority, and they find out that her absolute worst fear is being tickled. So they devise a plan- they invite her to a party and then berate her for not bringing any alcohol. They tell her she has to contribute to help fund the party, so it’s just tradition that when someone shows up with no alcohol that they have to sit in the foot-stocks all night. Harmless enough, right? The poor pledge agrees to the trick and the whole party takes turns wildly tickling her all night long as they record it on their cell-phones.
lol so that’s just one example. I’m not looking for “uh… sorority initiation?” … I’m looking for those details that really give the story juice. Maybe it’s a story about cops and robbers or spies? Maybe it’s a story about a rivalry? Maybe it’s a story about a medieval witch-hunt? Whatever it is… give me your juice!
I mean, ya know, if you want to. =)
(also, I realize that my example was non-con /f which might not be everyone’s taste. I don’t mean to limit this discussion to just one particular genre; I want to hear them all! I want all the ideas! I mean, like, ya know... if you want to give them.)
