1) Would you like to tell us a little bit about yourself and your hobbies?

Of course! I’m Korina Miller. I love to write, as some of you might know. It’s a true passion of mine. Besides that, I really enjoy going to the gym to work out—it helps clear my mind. And of course, getting lost in books is one of my favorite pastimes. Literature has a unique way of transporting me to different worlds and sparking my imagination.

2) When was the passion for storytelling born in you? What about the one for tickling?

Tickling has always been a big interest for me; it’s something that has intrigued me since I was very young. The passion for storytelling followed naturally. There’s something captivating about weaving narratives around tickling, turning simple interactions into engaging and emotional journeys.

3) Do you draw inspiration for your tickle stories from any particular author or source?

I’ve had a lot of inspiration over the years, mostly from the TMF stories section. It’s a treasure trove of creativity and ideas. While I don’t have any specific writers in mind, the collective work there has had a significant impact on my own storytelling.

“Oh god!” James cried out, laughter consuming him. It was too much, too intense. He wanted to beg them to stop, to give him a moment to catch his breath.

“P-please,” he gasped between fits of laughter. “It’s t-too much! I can’t…”

But his pleas fell on deaf ears. Dr. Chaewon leaned over him, her long hair brushing against his face. “I’m afraid we can’t stop now, James,” she said, her voice filled with a mix of sympathy and excitement. “This data is far too valuable.”

4) What tickle scenarios do you love to describe?

I particularly love scenarios where the person being tickled undergoes a noticeable shift in their mental state when pushed to their limits. This transformation is something I include in almost every story I write. It adds a compelling psychological aspect to the physical sensation of tickling.

5) Why do you think tickle stories are so popular?

I believe it’s because tickling is a very personal fantasy for many people, myself included. It’s more about the feeling and the emotional experience than the visual aspect, which can be conveyed much more effectively through storytelling. Stories allow readers to immerse themselves fully into the sensation and psychology of tickling.

6) Do your readers ask or appreciate tickle scenes in particular?

I create a wide range of tickle stories and images to cater to different tastes. Everyone has unique preferences and desires, so I try to be open to a variety of themes and scenarios. Listening to my readers and understanding their interests helps me create content that resonates deeply with them.

7) Can you give some suggestions on how to write an exciting tickling story?

My advice is to “show, don’t tell.” Don’t get too focused on one aspect; change things up to keep the narrative dynamic. Tease a lot, and escalate the tickling to maintain excitement. These techniques help keep readers engaged and eager to see what happens next.

8) Can you turn your passion for tickle storytelling into a profitable business?

It takes a lot of time and effort to write the stories I create, so right now, I view it mostly as a fulfilling hobby. However, there’s always the possibility that one day it could turn into something more profitable. For now, my main focus is on the joy and creativity the process brings me.

9) What are some goals in this field that you are proud to have achieved?

To have been asked for an interview like this one! It’s a sign that my work has resonated with others and garnered enough interest for people to want to know more about my process and experiences.

10) Do you think AIs can harm or improve tickle stories?

I don’t think AI can ever completely replace humans in crafting the core emotions and feelings that tickle stories aim to convey. While AI might assist with certain aspects, the depth of human experience and emotion is something uniquely conveyed by human writers.
