I'm announcing a contest to see who can write the best fiction tickling story based on this picture:

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Contestants are to write a story about what's happening in this picture. Tell us what led up to this scene, how it plays out, what the aftermath is, etc. Maybe it was a dare? Maybe the girl won a bet? You tell us in your story. Post your story as a reply in this thread. You can submit as many attempts as you want.

The contest lasts until Sunday, June 30 at 10:00 PM Eastern Time. At that point, there will be a vote by the guild to choose whose story is the best. If you submitted a story, you are not allowed to vote! Also, there must be more than one entry in order for the vote to take place. If your story is the only one submitted, you don't automatically win. That wouldn't be a contest, now would it? And now, on to the reward...

If your story receives the most votes, I will give you 20,000 gold. That's right: 20,000. I am also accepting donations to raise that jackpot. Yes, guild members can pledge additional gold that will be added to the jackpot, so whoever wins is going to walk away with at least 20,000 gold. If you want to pledge gold to raise the jackpot, say so in this thread and tell us how much you're pledging. We'll keep a running total of what the jackpot is up to.

Here's the fine print. Stories should be written with a genuine attempt at good spelling and grammar. It doesn't have to be perfect, but no txt tlk, u no wut i mean? Stories that are just one solid block of text without any punctuation or paragraph breaks will be rejected. There is no minimum length requirement, but I'm looking for stories, not "Bob and John sat down. Jane tickled them. The end." Remember, you want your fellow guild members to vote for you, so write to impress: include as much detail as you can. I'm hoping that most of the submissions will be at least a few paragraphs long. There is no maximum length; the longer the story, the better.

If this contest gets a good response and works out well, I might organize other ones in the future.

Good luck, and let your imaginations have fun with this!

Maybe I'll extend it. How long to do you think is good enough?

Well, I don't know how long, but 1 week seems short notice, seeing as not everyone gets on all the time.

A week really isn't enough time for this contest, so I have extended it. It will now last for the entire month of June and end on Thursday, June 31 at 10:00 PM Eastern Time.

Ryan(brown hair). Kay, and Sam(boy-blonde hair) were all good friends. They were the most popular in school, an dalways got good grades. But out of school, the guys loved to annoy Kay, and tease her. They would always ask her who she liked, and get on her case. Well, one day, Kay tricked the boys. She told them she would give them a foot massage. They were very excited. They had been working all day. So, she told them to take their shoes, and socks off, which they did, being tricked. She began tickling their feet and making them squeal like little girls. Kay was normally not a tickler, but since she was annoyed with the boys, and knew they were ticklish, she gave it a shot.Kay found it very fun. She figured out that Sam was very ticklish with a feather. Now, to this day, Sam and Ryan know better than to tease Kay. THE END

Ok, we have our first submission. Thank you Chelsea! Let me point out though that Chelsea's submission was very, very short, and just barely long enough to qualify as a story. I really think some of you can write longer stories with way more detail. I'm really hoping for submissions that are at least a few paragraphs long. Come on people, the jackpot is at least 20,000 gold... for thousands of gold I'd write thousands of words! When the contest closes, it'll be up to the guild members to decide whether such a short submission could be worth at least 20,000 gold. In the meantime, the bar is now set, so let's see who will be the one to set it even higher!

Also, I have decided to allow each member to submit as many stories as he/she wants to. Each individual story can be voted for, so the more stories a member submits, the better his/her chances of winning. So Chelsea, if you think you have a better effort in you and you want to make a better run for the money, you can submit another story, or two, or three!

The sixth grade term had just ended for summer break, and best friends Sam and Andy were eager to get further progress in the new video game they started. Once that bell rang, they dashed home and instantly started playing. As they played, they started talking about Amy, a girl they liked spending time with. Both of them really fancied Amy, and both really wanted to ask her out, but both were also a bit nervous to do so. They didn't want to make the other unhappy. At this point they were at a bit of a conflict.
"So," Andy started, "whaddaya think we should do?"
"I dunno," Sam replied, "maybe we could talk to her -"
"That's it!"
"What's it?"
"We'll both talk to her at the same time, and she could decide for us!"
"Yeah! I suppose that could work!"
The next day they called Amy up and asked her if she wanted to come hang out. They met up in the park and milled around for a good part of the day, when Andy finally tried saying something.
"Hey.... Amy?"
"Yeah, Andy? What is it?"
"Y'know.... Sam and I have been wondering...."
"Wonderin' what?"
"...." Andy choked up before he was able to say anything. Sam nudged him hard in the ribs with his elbow.
"Uh, we were wonderin' if you preferred Phil's or Benny's brand of ice cream?" Sam slapped his hand to his face as Amy answered.
At the end of the day they went back to Sam's house to play video games. Being really warm after playing a long game of frisbee, both Sam and Andy left their shoes and socks at the living room coffee table, and promptly went to the sink to wash them off, as they both hated the smell. The video games relaxed them a little, and they finally built up the courage to talk to her about the subject.
"So Amy, Andy and I've been talking, and we both think you're really cool."
"Thanks, guys!"
"And," Andy continued, "one of us'd really like to be...."
"Be what?"
"More than just friends with you," Sam finished.
"We both want to, but neither of us are willing to do that to the other that doesn't get to spend the time with you. Whaddaya think? Who would you like to go out with?"
"Well," Amy contemplated over a few potato chips, "why don't we have a contest, and whoever wins'll get to take me on a date to the movies!"
Sam and Andy looked at each other, nodded, turned back to Amy.
"We're in," they said simultaneously.
"Good! Now what kind of contest can we have that's fair?"
"Who can hold their breath the longest?" Andy suggested.
"Nah.... that's not always fair."
"What about who can eat a bowl of chips the fastest?"
"My mom'll take a fit if one of us throws up, Andy! We need to do something fair and clean!"
"Well...." Amy started, "are you guys ticklish?"
They both cringed when they heard the word. Both Sam and Andy were hypersensitive on basically every inch of their young sixth grade bodies. They didn't particularly mind being tickled, but the sensation was especially intense for them, so they couldn't take too much of it at a time.
"You see," Amy continued, "my cousins have always had tickle contests to see who gets to pick what movie we get to watch, who gets the good chair at the table, and other stuff like that. Why don't we just see who can stand being tickled the longest and whoever does gets to take me out?"
"Gee well I dunno....."
"Don't you want to go out with me?"
"Yes!" both the boys exclaimed.
"Well then let's see who wins the contest!" The boys reluctantly nodded.
"Goodie! Now what are your most ticklish spots?"
"My feet," Andy said.
"Mine too...." added Sam.
"Well put 'em up here then!" Amy said enthusiastically as she patted a spot on the coffee table. Sam and Andy placed their bare heels on the wood, wriggling their toes absentmindedly in anticipation.
"Ready boys?" she said, preparing her fingers. Both boys gulped.
"Alright here we go!" Amy started dragging her slender fingertips up their right arches, which instantly brought loud giggles from both of them.
"Wow! You guys ARE ticklish! Why don't we try a feather then!" she said as she picked a a white one out of a display. The boys were now even more nervous. She began brushing the left sole of Andy's foot, going sideways so it eventually hit his other foot, and then led straight to Sam's feet next.
"AHahehehehe NOHOT fairahahahahAHAHAHA!" Sam sputtered. Amy stopped her tickling.
"What's not fair?" she asked.
"You have to be tickling both of us at the same time or else it's cheap!" Andy said.
"Hmm.... I suppose you're right," Amy said, shrugging, "fingers are more fun, anyway!" she exclaimed, wiggling her fingers playfully. As she did this, the boys instantly started giggling in anticipation. Amy placed her dextrous fingertips on one sole for each of them, and danced them along for a good while, the boys erupting with laughter the whole time.
"Come on, guys! Doesn't one of you really want to go out with me?" she teased as her nails scratched on their hypersensitive skin. Both of them started turning red from laughing so hard, and let out funny squeaking sounds when she occasionally teased their toes. Sam began laughing so hard that he eventually pulled his feet off the table out of reflex, causing her to stop tickling the both of them. Andy was far too tired to give very much of a reaction, and Sam was anticipating what she would say.
"Well," she then started, "to tell you the truth, I don't really want to go out with either of you! You're my friends! It'd be too weird.... so now I got to tickle ya both for ten minutes, and boy was it fun!" she said, sticking out her tongue. The boys looked at each other, then looked at her and tackled her to the ground, Andy pinning her arms over her head and Sam straddling her waist.
"Our turn!" they said simultaneously.

'Twas a fun turn of events indeed.

Yes, definitely! Since it'll be a continuation, the whole saga (however many parts it turns out to be) will be voted on as one story. We'll just splice it all together to make one post with the whole thing.
