Just Like Jenny

Woah, what the hell is this? I'll tell you what it is, this is the first caption I've made using GIMP.  For those of you who don't know, I make all of my captions in PowerPoint. But Rauk, that's crazy, you can do so much more with better programs. I know, but as I've stated over and over, I'm primarily a writer, and up until recently I really didn't care about my how my captions looked, as long as it showed the story and whatever pic I was using in a reasonable manner. I also liked to think that when I wanted, I did a pretty nice job using PowerPoint, such as with the last piece I posted. But for this caption, I had to break down and use something that give my a longer image length. Normally I would just find another image and make it two panels, but I couldn't find anything that worked. I have to say, working with GIMP was...an experience. I'm sure once I figure out all the ins and outs it'll be a decent program to use, but as it was it took me about four times longer than usual to make this caption. I think it turned out pretty well, but with my current schedule I don't know when I'll have the time to sit down and mess around enough to really get a feel for it.

Dear Caroline

Here's the first of a several short sequences you'll be seeing in the next few weeks. As you can obviously notice, I took a bit of a deviation from my usual caption style with this one. The text is fairly typical, but with my usual layouts I just couldn't get the feel I wanted. So I started playing around with backgrounds and styles until I realized I could make this actually look like a letter with pictures enclosed. I really like the way this turned out as I think it looks, for lack of a better term, more professional. I'm usually so focused on getting out my story, I let the actual appearance of the caption suffer. In an effort to keep pushing my work to a higher standard, I'm going to try to fix that trend in future captions. Have a good weekend everyone.

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.

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.

Fleshlight Fun

So how's everyone doing? Still alive? Fortunately I managed to survive yet another week, but I'm sure the next will try to rectify that fact. But for now, it's time to celebrate because the weekend is finally here! As you might have noticed, I'm in a surprisingly good mood right now. Why is that? Because I finally wrote a caption I'm really proud of. I hope some of you enjoy it, but even if I'm the only person who does, I'm still going to be ecstatic about this caption. For the first time in months I finally managed to have my writing not only match, but surpass the story I had in my head. So often my writing ends up being a diluted version of what I'm trying to say, but not this time. Is there still room for improvement? Probably, but I really don't care right now. I can't remember the last time I was this happy with my work. I hoping to keep this momentum going for next week, but we'll have to wait and see. Have a great weekend.

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...

Couldn't Just Stand By

Here's another image sent to me by SSG. Sorry that this post is going to be pretty short, I've got a lot going on right now so I just wanted to make sure I posted something before I got too overwhelmed. That being said, this week's updates might be coming at weird times as a lot depends on when I can squeeze in some time to write. There will still be three new captions, but I'm not sure when you'll see the other two. Worst case scenario they'll show up over the weekend, but hopefully it doesn't come to that. Good luck surviving the week, I know I'm going to need all the luck I can get.

All that Mattered

Here's the first of hopefully several longer captions I'm currently working on. This one was a request by Amber Smithe, who wrote the general story and provided the last three images. I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about this series, but I'm leaning towards saying I like it. I tried to do something different than what I've been writing lately, and I think I succeeded in that respect. There are definitely some areas I'm not 100% satisfied with, but I could say that about almost every cap I've written. At the end of the day, I'm glad I wrote it, and I really can't ask for any more than that. Have a good weekend everyone.

Already Fucked

Another image I capped for SSG. I wish I had more time to work on captions, as I feel like I rushed this one a bit, but I want to keep new material rolling out on schedule. Things should be slowing down for me in the next few days so hopefully I can get a longer series made for either Friday or Monday. I appreciate you all being patient with these updates. I know a lot of the recent ones have been pretty similar, and that's because I haven't had the time to sit down and really push the boundaries of what I can write. I'm hoping to change that in the near future. As much as I enjoy writing these kinds of captions, I don't want to pigeonhole myself into only having one tone in my work. So if this isn't your cup of tea, just bear with me, I'll start mixing things up again as soon as I can.

Enjoy the Show

I hope all of you are liking the blog's new look as much as I am. I spent a good amount of time this weekend finding new pictures for future caps. Usually I find a lot of single images that I use for these single panel captions, but this weekend I had a lot of luck in finding some decent photo sets with multiple usable images. I don't know where I'm going to find the time, but expect to see some longer captions in the near future. As for this one, I'm not sure I pulled off the story I wanted to tell. It was a fairly complex idea to try to cram into a single panel, but I did my best. I've been falling back into old habits of lazy writing so I'm going to use these longer photo sets to hopefully create some more interesting and engaging situations. See you Wednesday.

Complete Design Overhaul

Hey everyone,

As I'm sure you've noticed I made a few changes to how the blog looks and is laid out. I decided to do this for a couple of reasons, but the main one is that I was tired of this place looking like crap. I threw together the original layout in about 20 minutes. At the time I was more focused on getting my material out there than having the blog look nice (a habit I picked up from the way I make my captions). So finally I had enough and spent about two and half hours playing with the design until finally I settled on what you see now. I might still mess around with it some more in the next couple of days, so if you have any input on what you'd like to see I'd love to hear it. I have a few other ideas I want to implement as well, but I want to make sure everything I've done so far works out before I start throwing anything new into the mix. See you Monday.

Supposed to be Mad

This is another one of the images sent to me by SSG. I don't use a lot of first person perspective images, mostly because I can't find any I really like. This one was surprising easy to write, which is weird because when I first saw this picture I thought for sure I'd be writing in the first person. But for whatever reason I changed my mind and switched to second person, and I'm really glad I did as I think it turned out pretty well. Enjoy the weekend, see you in a couple of days.

Another Sexy Friend

Sometimes you just never know where a cap is going to end up. I originally planned on this being a lot more explicit and dirty, really explain all of the nasty things the victim would like to do to this girl but couldn't because he didn't have the right equipment anymore. But somewhere during the process of writing I took it in a different direction with the mental change aspect. I like the finished product, but it's nothing like what I originally planned. Such is the creative process, and as long as I can keep writing without too much difficulty I'm not going to complain about it.

Life Sucks

Ask and you shall receive. I said on Friday I was thinking about writing some more forced taunting caps, and sure enough I got an email this weekend asking for just that. SSG emailed me some pictures asking if I'd be willing to use them in some upcoming captions. There were some great images and I already have ideas for what I want to do with each of them. So expect to see some more in this style in the next couple of weeks. I'm writing off my previous difficulty as just a side-effect of a stressful week as this one just seemed to flow right out of my head. I'm hoping this is a sign of good things to come. Happy Monday, good luck surviving the start of a new week.

Begged, and Pleaded, and Cried

Wait, it's Friday? That can't be right, I'm still alive... I haven't been this happy for the weekend in a long time. I seriously thought this week was going to kill me, but it appears I was wrong. Anyway, here's today's caption for you. I decided to go back to my old bread and butter, taunting forced feminization. The odd thing was this caption was harder for me to write than it should it have been. I guess since I've done so many like this it's getting harder and harder to be original with this style. But I'm hoping the difficulty was just a because of how stressed I was this week, because I love writing these kinds of captions and I would hate to be unable to keep doing them. I might try writing another in this style in the next few days to see if I can figure out what's going on. Have a good weekend everyone, I'm probably going to spend most of mine sleeping. It's going to be fantastic.
