You could never be late, my most excellent Deet! Even if it were possible, your lyric eloquence, your graciousness and generosity are worth any wait! You ought never regret that you don't write like me... to write as
you do (and to command those magnificent phrases and graphic fantasies that have captivated all loving Tickledom) is a quality that inspires our fondest aspirations! To create is great; to create with your patented blend of wickedly crafted wit, unashamed sensuality, unending energy, and the limitless joi de vivre of a soul living at full-throttle is a study in the way timeless legend is made! It's a lesson for us all: offer straight from your smiling heart with merriest cheer and a well-practiced appetite for life! In effect, love your prose and love its reader! Each cannot fail to return and magnify that love!
I have always been a fan of your ground breaking, earth shattering, epoch changing series, my friend. Even as far back as when I was but a boogey-like lurker bandito - hidden in shadow. But something about this chapter in particular truly resonated with me.
I didn't think you'd be able to top the delightful - naive teacher turned bar tickle wench scene from page ten. As it turns out the joke was on me, but with Sparrow doing all the laughing. Her scene has already established itself as among one of my very favorite tickle scenes that I have ever had the pleasure to witness.
The glory of Sparrow's scene isn't just the tickling itself, but the long anticipation, and her complicated emotional state before, during and after. I simply loved it.
Too kind of you! It gratifies me no end that you found each encounter entertaining! In absentia school mistress Tessie Tingle will remain tardy from Tabor classrooms at least a while longer. Her carnal education has barely crossed mid-term... whether she'll drop out of her formal responsibilities or return to polite society with randy lessons to impart (though only sums and grammar for her underage charges... I've studiously avoided such pitfalls, and don't intend to falter now!) is something I've yet to decide. Each path offers attractive possibilities!
Meanwhile, Sparrow Hall (flush with jangling input from her near-bogey run-in) has already made her pro-active choice. I couldn't be more grateful this encounter worked so well for you! While basically a side-trip featuring ancillary characters, I desperately wanted it to have impact. Sparrow's standing in for the bulk of common Tabor citizenry. Her sensual awakening is meant to represent the community's generally, prodded by renewed bogey influence into tactile exploration both threateningly risky and exhilaratingly rewarding. I'd always planned for her to take part in a few more scenes... a presence at key events near the story's climax. I can see now that her role should be broadened further still... allowing her to squirm with tormented pleasure has become so much fun to chronicle!
Deet, I can't thank you enough for your symphony of appreciation! It's been the sheerest delight to read and reread... a joyous council to exert my very best effort, if only to keep pace with the likes of your peerless self! Never underestimate your importance to the Community, my friend... our forums team with artists your selfless talents inspire! Your era of inclusive excellence has bound us all closer together than ever before!
