Blog Updates

And I'm back. I love my family but there's a reason I only see some of them once a year. But I have to say I was pleasantly surprised to see that while I was gone the blog has hit 200 followers! In honor of that milestone, I had planned on creating a new caption. Unfortunately that didn't happen. I'm working on some larger pieces that require a bit of a formatting change from my usual style. Long story short, it's not working, and I don't want to risk me breaking my laptop out of frustration by trying to rush this out.

So instead, I decided to add some much needed new features to the blog. And by new features, I mean things I've seen on other blogs and decided to blatantly rip off.

First off all, I finally added a formspring. I've said in the past that I enjoy taking requests, so I finally made it easy to do so. Although if you have specific images you want captioned it's probably best if you email me. Aside from anything that helps out stalkers (i.e. what's your address, what time do you go to sleep, what's the security code for your home, etc.) I'll pretty much answer anything.

Second, I've added the first of several new pages. If you've ever wanted to know a little more about me, I've put up a bio section that explains how I got into tg, ended up making captions, and then started this blog. It is a lot of me rambling though, so feel free to skim it, you probably won't miss much. Over the next few days I'll be adding sections more focused on captioning and writing in general, whenever I have the time to do so.

I know I said there would be two new captions this week, well...sorry I lied. I'd like to say it was because I had a lot to do, but honestly most of that stuff was in some way related to skyrim. That game is going to be the end of me. I'll do better next year, I promise.

Happy New Years everyone.

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.)

Kylie's Perspective

Happy Holidays Everyone! And to those of you who celebrate, Merry Christmas! I hope you enjoy your present. It's been almost a month since I last did a Kylie caption, so I figured it was about time for her to make another appearance. Hopefully it'll give you a laugh or two.

From the way things are looking now, I'm going to try to start turning out new material on a regular basis again starting this week. I'm going to try to go back to the regular schedule, but if that doesn't work I'm still going to push for three new captions anyway. It's been too long since I was regularly writing new material for all you amazing readers, so it's time for me to get back on top of things.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy any festivities you're taking part in, even if that just means some quality time with our good friend the Internet. See you Monday.

Smitty's "The Initiation"

Whether you know it or not, the reason many of you know about my blog at all is because of Smitty. He was one of the first big name captioner to give me a plug when I first made the transition to Blogger. Well now it's time for me to partially repay the favor.

Smitty has just finished his longest caption to date, a massive choose-your-own-adventure epic that contains 19 possible endings and over 140 pages of material. So if you have some free time, please go take a look at it. Smitty's work is always fantastic, and he's put a ton of time into making this. I know I'm going to have a fun afternoon seeing what he has in store for his readers, I hope you'll join me.

Why Settle?

What? It's over? I have free time again?

Yep, I'm back. Well...sort of. Things have finally settled down for me after months of a never ending list of things I had to get done. But if everything goes according to plan, I should be done with the craziness for a while. Which means I'm back to captioning. The reason I say sort of, is things won't be on a schedule again for probably another week. I still have stuff that needs to get done, but it's manageable now. So now I just have to figure out a new schedule that lets me get everything in. That won't happen until after the holidays, but until then I'll try to turn out some new stuff for all of you lovely readers. Thanks for hanging in there with me, now let's see if I can make it worth the wait.

Easier

Looking at my schedule, I'm thinking I'll probably do one more update before the holidays. After that, I'm really hoping to get back to my normal posting timeline. As for this caption, I liked it more as an idea than I do actually seeing it written. I was trying to capture a feeling and it came up short, or at least I think it did because I know what I was actually trying to go for and I just couldn't put it into words. Oh well, at least it looks pretty. Here's hoping I'll find more time and motivation before too long.

All Knowing Smiles

Hey everyone, I hope you all are doing well. Things are getting a little better for me, but free time and motivation are both pretty scarce so it's still going to be a while before things get back to normal. But I wanted to do something as I haven't posted in a while so I pulled this together this afternoon. It's not the most erotic thing I've written, but I really like the story and the image seems to fit pretty well with it. It felt good to write again and I hope to be doing a lot more of it soon.

Update Schedule

Hey everyone. First off I want to say thanks to all of you who visit this site and take the time to look at my work, it really means a lot to me. My main motivation for running this blog is to turn out quality material on a regular basis. Unfortunately, life keeps getting in the way. I hate to do this, but I'm temporarily abandoning the update schedule. I'll still post new material, but it will be whenever I have the time to do so. In the past I have put out captions that I was not completely satisfied with in order to work within my self-imposed deadlines, and I'm glad I did so, it has helped my writing tremendously. But there comes a point when this process starts to hurt more than it helps, and that's where I am now. You all take the time to come here and read my work, and I do not want to waste that time with sub-par captions that I've hastily thrown together. This should only be for the next two or three weeks, with the absolute worst case scenario being I return to regular updates in the new year. Thanks for understanding and have a good week everyone.

Decision Time

Hey everyone... Not much to say for this update. So...um....Have a good weekend? Yeah, I guess I'll leave it at that.
