Really good thread. I'm a newbie, so please don't take this as Gospel or anything, but here are my thoughts:
1. The build up is EVERYTHING. Sometimes you find a story with a great premise....... but no build up. Or great characters, but no build up. So the ENF stuff happens, and it loses the impact.
2. Pet Peeve A: The story doesn't give lots of details, which is ok, so I imagine the details in my head and paint a picture. But then, usually when the action is finally getting hot, the story suddenly gives a bunch of details...... and it turns out I was imagining everything all wrong! Blondes become brunettes, teens become milfs, big boobs go FLAT!!! Doh!
3. Pet Peeve B: This is the ENF version of watching an "adult" video, where a hot girl is stripping, taking off all her clothes..... and when you finally get to the end, it turns out "she" is a tranny! An ENF story (usually first person) where you THINK the protagonist is of one gender. And the story goes on and on, talking about her job, school, family, etc. Blah blah blah. It's not until you read halfway through the story that you find out you had the gender wrong! Double Doh!
4. The more the author builds up how much the girl fears/hates revealing herself, the more exciting the payoff. And when the author really builds this up, and the "reveal" of each part of her body is dramatic, the payoff is off the charts. (A few stories in particular do an incredible job of putting an EXCLAMATION POINT!!!! on why a girl fears/hates being esposed naked..... and then it happens anyway, in a fun & well paced story..... those are my favorites. Bless those writers!!)
5. This is JMO, but I don't mind it when a story gets extreme, because I just skip over the parts I don't like. Once you know the plot and characters, it's like an adult video tape (speaking of the old days!) where you just fast forward to your favorite scenes, and I'd rather a story have the stuff I want, even if it does go farther than I would've written. But I might be in the minority here.
