Somthing you might want to know.

Well, not too many people have reviewed my stories. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one here who loves the idea of tickling Michael J Fox. BTW, the link tomy stories is in my signature.

I love MJF and have dreamt of tickling the Alex P. Keaton character into orgasmic bliss :content:

opinions: serious business

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Very serious business. Its like you've got to have a permit just to voice your opinion, if its different than everybody else's. And even then theres an expected toll(criticism) just for saying it.

Talk about giving somebody the shake down.

 

[Tickle4444]

I'm trying to look for stories that strictly focuses on sole tickling, without the sex or pain. Can anyone point me towards some links? I would be more than happy go read them. I guess you could say I get a frission from sole tickling.

 

[TheChameleon]

dude, look at how many stories do the exact cookie cutter bullshit but slap on different names just to seem different

why feed any critique to stories that simply mirror content of other stories

i'm not saying you are a culprit but go through these stories and try to tell me how unique they are

If you notice, Oriya said he's not even saying your a culprit.

Oriya isn't a troll, nor a fuckhead, he's (she's?) just a funny person.

The type of humor they use is something that isn't accounted for using words over a set of forums, but the sarcastic cynical nature of his comments is quite amusing.

Most of the time, there's a big glint of truth in whatever he's saying, but its covered by "DX SAYZ SUQ IT KKS?" and other funny internet lingo.

If Oriya actually said something bad about me, i'd probably laugh about it, because, Oriya is funny!

Anyway... time for me to go!

*Hops on his ACME rocket*

Seeyah!

Actually, I think Oriyaborealis is hilarious. XD

And i'm guessing from a majority of the posts he makes, that he's a 4channer. =P

11225, don't worry about it. It's alright to feel self-conscious about things like this. If you look at the story section, alot of the writers, even the talented ones, don't usually get alot of replies, if any. It's because reading a story takes time, which alot of the members here apparently, don't have. They don't have the time or attention span to sit and read a story for a couple minutes. It may hurt their eyes, they may get bored, etc. Pictures, on the other hand, are quick, easy. That's usually why more artists get more replies than writers, I think. I used to read stories alot, but alot of the time, nowadays, I find myself fairly busy and don't have the time. If I get the time, i'll read and comment on your story, though. =3

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Yeah, thats what I was saying earlier. People are just lazy, tired, and don't like reading through stories any more than they have to read through long posts.

I know some people probably don't read my posts when they're more than 5 paragraphs long (maybe even less), but I understand why, and writers need to understand why too- its nothing personal. Its just about time, effort, and willpower.


For one reason or another, or several reasons, many of our members simply don't want to read stories, even though they do cater to your interests, because of the extra effort involved. Its not as simple as just reading the story. You'd also want them to be be involved in it on different levels, and thats asking alot from a reader the way asking for more than just a view is asking alot when an artist asks for it or implies it.

It doesn't mean you're doing a bad job or a good job. Hell, if no one is reading your stuff then theres really no base for an opinion on it.

My advice still stands, 11225, and I hope that you take it.

Alternatively, you may also kiss my hand. I'd have you kiss the ring, specifically, but I'm not wearing it, right now.

I also proclaim that trumpets must sound when I enter a room.

I wasn't being serious about that one. You don't have to kiss my hand. But, back in the day they used to do that.

My first story got rave reviews, most notably from one of this site's mods. I've since written other stories which have gotten no replies but apparently lots of views.

One of my follow-up stories got the critique "didn't read, too long". That way I know to keep my build-up to the story's climax as brief as possible next time.

Drac, I hear what you said about pictures being more instantly-gratifying than stories. Pictures are a lot more immediate than any medium which requires imagination, save audio programs (radio drama and such).

It is probably a lot to ask for TT members to be editors and/or critics. FWIW, if I see a stand-out story, photo, cartoon, etc., I will comment about it.

Exactly. By asking people to read a story, you are actually asking them to do much more than that. If you want them to give you the time, you have to give them something worthy of it. If you don't want to compromise your ideas and stories like that, then you have to admit and accept that your audiance is going to be narrower than you'd like it, and you need to learn to be content with that. You cannot please everyone, nor should you aim to.

I know this sounds incredibly harsh and dooming, but its just a fact of life. People are discriminative about this sort of thing, especially as clique, grouped, and divided as the tickling interest is.

Even if one detail is off, and it doesn't cater to someone's specific interest, quirk, kink, or turn-on they won't like it as much or at all, and any feedback they give you may just be empty lip-service and idle praise, and thats a shame. I could draw an upper-body tickling picture, for example, and not get many hits, knowing that its because many more people than that are looking for foot-fetish tickling and what I did simply did not interest them. (Although I don't draw enough tickling/fetish stuff to definitely validate this as a fact, even though its otherwise true that foot fetishists have formed a heavy portion of the user base).

Its very precise, stories, art, and videos, and people discriminate based on their leanings. Considering it is a fetish for most, that just makes this issue and their expectations even higher and their wants and demands even more difficult to appease and satisfy.
