Her Smile

I didn't have a ton of time to write this week, but I knew that I wanted to do something a little different than the usual. So I decided on focusing on how a third party might react to a transformation, using a true second person perspective. Second person is what was used for the old Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books and not much else. That's probably because it can be a little awkward to write and read since it tells the reader what he or she is doing, but I wanted to see if I could pull it off. You'll have to let me know if I was successful. See you Friday.

Everything You Ever Wanted

ADS And I'm back. Vacation was all right, some unforeseen complications made things a little more stressful than I would have liked, but that's just the way it goes sometimes. Anyway, I've got some cool stuff in the pipeline and I hope to get it out to you soon. But in the meantime, here's a quickie I pulled together for all of you nice people as I get back into the swing of things.

I love this picture. I like the story I put with it, but I have to say it was actually one of the more difficult things I've written in a while. The main reason is I wanted this to be fast. More of a moment than an actual story. The problem was the story didn't like staying small. I could easily have made this into a two or three panel mental rambling that explored all the feelings and thoughts going through the protagonist's mind, but I didn't want that. This image was short and to the point, and the text needed to match. I probably spent more time cutting things out than putting them in. Funny how writing less can be so much more work. Have a good weekend everyone.

Relapse (One Year Anniversary)

ADS

While I'm not officially back from my break yet (although it's looking like that will be pretty soon) I figured I had to make something for today seeing as it's this blog's anniversary. So how far has my little corner of the tg community come in the past year?

• 255 Posts

• Over 1.5 Million Page Views

I'm absolutely stunned that this site has been so successful in such a short amount of time. All I can say is thank you. The fact that so many people are interested in seeing my work is truly humbling. I started this blog as a way to continue to expand my creativity and work on my writing, and I can't thank all of you enough for continuing to show your support for what I'm doing.

So as long as you keep coming back, I'll try to keep making it worth your while.

As for this particular caption, I decided to mark this milestone the same way I've done every major event on this blog, with the always stunning Ariel. In fact she was also the model in the first new caption I made after starting this blog (which was five days after my first post, but I had a bit of backlog I could burn though when I didn't feel like making new material). It's kind of crazy to see how far I've come in a year.

For me, this caption isn't so much about my own experiences with tg (which if you're interested I talk about here) as it is about captioning in general. There have been plenty of times I've considered calling it quits, but every time I take a break, I find myself drawn back in once more. This most recent break is no exception. While I've appreciated, and to be honest, needed, some time off, creating this caption reminded me why I enjoy doing this so much. And as long as that creative part of my brain keeps pulling me back in, I'll continue to keep making captions.

But that's enough of my rambling for now. Like I said, I'll probably be back to turning out material on a more regular basis fairly soon, thanks for being patient.

Here's to another great year of captioning.

Siren Song

Quick note on the administrative side, I'll be out of town tomorrow and Wednesday visiting family. So I would say expect new posts probably on Thursday and Saturday. I've still got two requests to finish that I've been sitting on for way too long, but I want to take some serious time to make sure they're done right. Hopefully I'll finish at least one of them this week. Now on to today's post.

This is a shout out to all the silent visitors out there. I spend a lot of time talking about my followers and fellow captioners, but I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate everyone who takes the time to visit this blog. Whether you've just never taken the time to create an account, or maybe you never anything you want to comment about, I just wanted to say thanks for your silent support. It always makes me feel good to see a high pageview count at the end of the day.

And to those of you who have ever thought about getting a little more involved, please do. As a former lurker, I can say that you definitely get more out of the community once you start talking to people. Trust me, we don't bite (well, some do...but only if you ask nicely.)

Melt

ADS My first caption with the title in the image. I'm fairly happy with how the caption ended up looking, the story is nothing special though. It's funny, I actually meant for this to be one of my standard forced lesbian taunting captions but I just couldn't make it happen. The past couple captions have been relatively clean (at least for my standards anyway) as I haven't been in a good smut writing mood in a while. I'll try to dirty things up a bit in the next update as I know that's what most of you come here looking for in the first place.

Submission to Beauty

It's always a good day when I make a caption with the always lovely Faye Reagan. So I was happy to find the time this afternoon to make the longer cap I mentioned. As far as three panel stories go this one is still pretty short, but it was nice to do something with a little more story than my usual singles. I had some issues writing this one as I felt like it kept coming across as being an almost nonsensical ramble. I think I was just trying to go in too many different directions at the same time. I still feel the final product is a little disjointed, but it's a lot better than where it was after the first draft or two.

Angel in the Night

Happy weekend everyone. I had planned on using my down time today to find some new images and then create a new caption tomorrow, but this image just wouldn't wait. The story formed so quickly that I didn't want to risk losing it so I quit my search and went right into captioning. Unfortunately the speed with which I created the story was not present in the formatting process as well. I went through a ton of backgrounds before finding one I liked, and then it took me a longer than it should have to work it into my standard layout without the test becoming illegible. Needless to say the whole process just reminded me of why I'm primarily a writer, and not a designer.

Speaking of design, I've been considering including my titles in the captions themselves. Under my current system all my captions are labeled by their "production code" of C# while they're being made (which explains the odd names of the files I upload to the blog). I don't come up with a title until I'm making the actual blog post. But for today's caption the title came as I was writing it. I briefly messed around with including it before deciding I had spent enough time on this caption already and just went ahead without. But the whole process had me wondering, do you all want to see titles included in the actual caption? Or do you like the way they're formatted now?

Safe Bet

Sorry for the lack of new material lately, I've been busier than I thought and even when I was free I didn't have much motivation to write. But I wanted to at least get out one new caption this week, so here it is. I'm not completely satisfied with how it turned out, but that's okay. It's main purpose was to get me back into the habit of writing so hopefully my motivation doesn't desert me again when I find free time. That being said, expect light updates for a bit until I get a handle on my current work schedule. I'd still like to turn out a few captions a week, but I'll have to wait and see. I hope you all are having a good week so far, and good luck finishing it out.

Dumb Whore

ADS The long awaited return of POV captions.

I recently received a request for some more POV captions, and seeing how I hadn't done one in a while I figured now was as good a time as any to bring back an old standby. Now this is by no means one of my best captions, but it was a fun quickie to make, and hopefully some light, simple smut is a nice change of pace from my heavier, more concept oriented Seven captions.

Sexy Little Sluts

ADS My official "Thank You" caption to celebrate 300 followers

So 300 followers. I can't believe this blog made it this far. Back when I first started posting my stuff here this, along with one million page views, was the ultimate milestone I wanted to hit. At the time it seemed like the kind of achievement I would spend my entire captioning career trying to reach, and would be the final proof to myself that I deserved to consider myself a quality caption creator.

Less than two years later, here we are. I don't think I can say how much I appreciate everyone who reads this blog. It still kind of blows my mind that there are so many of you who show up just to see something I created. I could ramble on and on about this, but I don't want to go all mushy on you, so I'll just keep it simple. Thank you.

Seriously. Thank You.

And while this used to be my ultimate goal for this blog, I have to say that 400 is sounding pretty good, maybe I'll stick around and see what happens...
