Empty Apology

I still don't know when I found the time to write this, but here's your regularly scheduled update. This week has been crazy, but I'm staying on top of things pretty well so far. I just hope I can keep this up for the next few days. Anyway this is an image I've been sitting on for a bit, I always knew the general story for what I wanted to write, but for some reason I was never happy with my previous attempts. And yet by some force of luck or inspiration, I finally got something I could live with, and with the time constraints I have this week I can't afford to be picky. See you Friday...hopefully...

Suck It All Away

I didn't have as much time to write as I wanted this weekend, but I still managed to pull a quick new caption together for you. Nothing too special, but I like it. Sorry for being brief, but I'm looking at another hectic week, but there's not much I can do about it so I'll just keep squeezing in writing time wherever I can. Happy Monday.

Not What it Looks Like

Another quick caption I managed to squeeze into my schedule. I actually didn't have an ending in mind when I started writing this, so I was pleasantly surprised at where it ended up. It's always nice when you can just run with an idea and like where it takes you. I've got a couple of short series in the works, so I'm going to try to finish one of them for either Friday or Monday, depending on when I find the time. See you Friday.

Consolation Prize

Another letter format! I guess I liked the first one so much I felt the need to make another. Yay for easy plot devices! As if the tg world didn't have enough of those already... What actually happened was life got in the way of finishing the series I was working on so I needed to make something that was only one panel. Going through my image catalog I found this pic and I started writing whatever came to mind. A few quick edits later and this is what I got. For how quickly I pulled this together I think it turned out pretty well. Hopefully the rest of the week will be a little smoother so I can finish up something a little longer for Friday.

The Kind of Body

Another caption where the picture gave me a general idea of where to start, and then I just ran with it to see where I ended up. I certainly didn't go anywhere new with this one, but they can't all be groundbreaking. Sometimes you just revisit an old idea and hope you add a little something new to it. I'm not sure I accomplished that goal either, but I still like how this one turned out. If a situation shows up enough to become to cliche, it was probably to be good enough to warrant repeating in the first place. Either that or I'm just lazy, which is probably true as well. See you Friday.

The Big Reveal

Hey everyone, I hope you had a nice weekend. I spent most of mine working which wasn't a whole lot of fun, but I least I got some stuff accomplished; such as this caption. I think I could have done a better job with the actual writing, but I really like this concept. But that's the downside to putting myself on a deadline. As much as I would have loved to keep rewriting this until I got it right, I needed to put out a new caption. It should hopefully continue to make my captions better in the long run, but you'll have to be the judge of that. See you Wednesday.

Drama Queen

Ugh. That's pretty much the only word that describes how I feel right now. It's just been one of those weeks that keeps dumping more and more on the already enormous pile of stuff I have to get done. The only bright side is despite feeling like crap, I was able to force myself to write something new. While it might not be anything spectacular, I'm just happy that I've finally gotten to the point where posting has become a habit. Being able to write through blocks and a lack of motivation is something I've been working on for a long time, so it's nice to see I'm making progress in at least one area. Here's hoping the rest of the week is better than the first few days.

Three Perfect Girls

A Delightful Spell

Happy Monday everyone. As of right now this week is looking to be much better than the past two for me, which hopefully means everything is back on schedule. Here are a couple of short captions I pulled together for you, pretty typical to most of my earlier work. Seeing as I had taken a bit of a forced break, I wanted to make some pieces I know I know how to write. I turned these out pretty easily so everything's looking good for getting back to normal. See you Wednesday.

Altering the Arrangement

I've got good news and bad news. The good news is I've managed to finish two new captions so that the updates are now back on schedule. The bad news is life decided I wasn't done with the insanity of the past two weeks so I didn't have a lot of time to make these. So while they're both fairly short, it's better than nothing. Eventually I'm going to find the time to sit down and write something longer. As much as I love single panels, I'm feeling the need to do something with a little more depth. Now I just have to find a way to get the world to give me the time to do actually do it. See you Friday.

A Toss Up

I'm exhausted. I'm going to keep it short today as I have almost no energy right now. I can't tell you how much I need a few days off. Enjoy the weekend everyone, there's a pretty good chance I'm going to sleep through the whole thing.

Thorough Punishment

Sorry about the delay, but here you go. I haven't done anything in the third person for a while, so I decided to go back to it. I really prefer the first person, but I like to mix things up to add a little diversity to my work. I also haven't described a transformation in a while, so I threw in one of those as well. Honestly, I always feel like these types of captions are some of my weaker pieces. I guess that's because I write dialog so easily I tend to neglect more distant perspectives, so I don't practice them as much as I should. I've read so many captions and stories that describe transformations so much better than I ever could, so I tend to avoid them as no one likes admitting their shortcomings. But it's something I really need to do more often as that's the only way I'm ever going to get better at it. See you Wednesday.

Broken

An early Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate, if you're not sick after dinner you did something wrong. I finally get a few days off for the holiday, so hopefully I'll be able to make some longer captions that I've been planning for a while. As it is, this is another single panel I pulled together earlier today. The idea's been done over and over in the tg world, but I still like how this one turned out. Also, because of the holiday there's a chance the Friday update will come out Friday afternoon, but I'll try to get it out at the usual time.

Corruption

And I'm only an hour and a half late, not too bad. The last update focused on the submissive aspect of a transformation, so I decided to do a thematic prequel to the situation. It's not the same situation, but it's not hard to see how the two tie together. I love a good monologue, and once I got this one started it pretty much wrote itself. I didn't do a whole lot of editing, so this is as close to stream of consciousness as you'll probably see from me. It's always fun to create a character and just let them talk for a while. If you're lucky you'll end up somewhere interesting. Have a good weekend everyone.

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.

Gluttony

What's wrong with a little overindulgence?

We've finally reached the halfway point of Seven. Hopefully the second half goes a little faster than the first.

So in this installment I wanted to look at the binge nature of the tg community. I know that when I first found entire websites devoted to this material, it wasn't uncommon for me to lose three to four hours chunks of time as I lost myself in reading every caption on the site.

Things have gotten a little better now that I've been around for a few years, but there are still plenty of times I've pushed back going to bed for an hour or two in order to read newly posted captions, and I know I'm not alone in doing that.

It's always difficult to say no to a free service, especially one that can cater so specifically to what you want. And it doesn't help that both sides actively encourage the behavior. Artists want more page views and comments, and readers want to see more material, allowing the two to fuel each other on to some crazy levels of production and interaction.

Please don't misunderstand what I'm saying, I love the way this community interacts and creates. I've just learned I have to be careful when I sit down to see what's been recently published, especially if I don't have the rest of the day free.

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...
