In the early days of the Internet--I'm talking early 1990s--there was a service called CompuServe that my budding geek self subscribed to, a sort of a proto-AOL (it even predated Prodigy, another blast from the past). I had used CompuServe for general purposes for a couple of years before daring to explore its semi-hidden adult content, and amongst those sections was one called "Variations" and a subsection of which had the highly titillating, for the time, title of "Foot & Tickle Play." When I got up the nerve and stopped blushing long enough to enter it, I discovered a repository of user-uploaded content, almost all of which was simple text files (again, it was the the early '90s, when even a 56k modem was state of the art).
Among the uploads were several stories written by a female author named "Candy," all of which had */f themes. While devouring the stories, I noted how often ishe would slip from the third person and use the first person ("I," "me") when referring to the various female victims, so it was pretty obvious Candy was writing from her own perspective as a lady 'lee, or at least that's what my fervent imagination convinced me of. I mean, I knew that there was a scattering of women out there who desired to be tickled (found that out by having been given an adult magazine on my 20th birthday) just as there were a lot of guys like me who loved to tickle women (advice columns like
Dear Abby often had letters from women complaining about their husbands or boyfriends tickling them), but I had never read any fictional woks with such themes.
I don't remember which of hers I read first, but "Candy"'s tales were also memorable for featuring a long-fingered 6'5'' master tickler named Malachi, whom for a while I modeled myself after despite his having a couple of inches on me. It was more the malevolent joy in imprisoning and tickling women that I reveled in vicariously, he being a kind of tickle Dom long before I ever heard the term.
Candy's and the stories of others, which I also found in places like the bulletin board alt.sex.fetish.tickling (another pre-TMF artifact), inspired me later to pen my own stories, all based on my relationship with the woman I would eventually marry, the now departed "Stacey."
I read "Amusement Park Hysteria" by Shadowtkl
I can't think of a better first story to my then initiation into the world of tickling..
Then after I joined the TMF I came in contact with Shadowtklr and I was like o wow o wow I'm meeting the famous Shadowtklr..
His stories were so filled with descriptions that you felt as if you were there..whether or not that was a good thing I'm not sure lol...
He and his wife actually attended this year's NEST for the first time, which was also only my second ever. And of course my paralyzing shyness kept me from meeting them, but his presence there was pointed out to me by another attendee, who is a confessed fan of my own "Stacey" stories too (naturally, before leaving the event I made sure I directed the poor man to seek psychiatric help).
