Taken Away

A new caption, and a new layout for posts. This should be fun.

 So first up a quick word on the caption. This was supposed to be a quickie, but the story just kept growing. Since it usually goes the other way, I try not to cut myself short when the ideas keep coming. If I don't have a second image, I'll do some revising if the text gets too small, but for this one everything seemed to wrap up nicely and I didn't need to cut too much.
 

Now onto the new post layout. The results of the poll were 24 to 16 in favor of keeping the older post style. And while I respect the verdict, the sample size is just too small for me to put much stock in the result. So I'm going to try out the click-through format for a little while, just to see if I like it. If I do, it'll stay, or if I don't/enough people request to go back to the old style I will. But for now, I want to see how this goes.

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.

Look with Your Hands

Here's a quickie a pulled together with a little time I found this afternoon. There's really no reason for it to be two panels, but I really liked both of these pictures so I decided to stretch the story a bit and use a larger font to justify using both. Again, I'm just playing around with some different points of view than I normally use in an effort to keep things somewhat original. I can't say I love this one, but at least I don't feel like I've told this story twenty times before.

Submissive Love

Well so much for getting this up over the weekend, but better late than never. I have to say I really like this caption. For those of you who usually read this post first, I'd suggest reading the caption before continuing on.

Finished? Cool. Anyway, now that you're back, I was saying how much I like this caption. I'm sure it won't be everyone's cup of tea, and I'm sure I might sound like a bit of a arrogant ass for this, but I don't care. Well let me rephrase, I don't care if you dislike this particular caption. If you don't want to see more like it feel free to tell me, as I really do try to make the kinds of stuff you all want to read. But every so often you just have to make one for yourself, which this one most likely falls into. And it's not because of the story, and it's not because of the fantasy situation, as neither of them really fit my usual tastes. It's because of the last line.

The entire rest of the caption is something I've written plenty of times before, typical forced lesbian, etc. But when I finished with all of that, I still wasn't satisfied. I just really wanted something...more. I wanted to care about the main character, about what he went through. Yet as it was, I didn't. Not any more than I've cared about any other main character I've used. So I added the last line, and it made all the difference. Suddenly this is someone with hopes and dreams and he's forced to watch them all be destroyed because he's trying to give his wife what she wants. But in order to get closer to the woman he loves, he gives in to her desire to abandon their old relationship and form a new one that follows a mistress-sub mentality, which creates distance between them. There's still love, just a different kind of love. And he's willing to take whatever he can get.

I know that may be more depth than most people want in a quick caption like this, and if this doesn't work for you I promise there will be plenty more of my old style in the future. But I just couldn't write the usual today, I needed to care about something. Maybe it's just because I don't have the chance to write as much as I used to that I felt the need to make this one mean something, I don't know. Anyway, to those of you who actually read all this, thank you. I hoped you gained a little insight into what I was trying to do. Or maybe you just think I'm a pretentious ass, that's certainly possible too.

Happy Monday everyone!

Melt

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.

Not a Word

Hey I finally met a deadline I set for myself. It's probably not a good thing that I'm actually happy about that.

 
So as promised, here's a new caption before the weekend (it's before 5pm on a Friday, it counts). I wasn't feeling an overly erotic story today, so I decided to go with something a little more plot oriented than I usually do. I knew I wanted to do something from one of the formspring requests, and knew that for the ballet caption I wanted to go with something lighthearted and sexy.

So instead, I went with a surgery caption. I enjoyed writing this, but I'm not sure the end effect is exactly what I wanted. I think it still works, but there is definitely room for improvement. So I guess what I'm really saying is, there will probably be another surgery cap from me in the near future as I'm not sure I did the request full justice with this one (and hopefully the next surgery cap will focus on the smut a little more, because that's 90% of the reason we're all here in the first place, right?)

What a Difference a Day Makes

So I had a little time this afternoon and decided to play around with an old layout.

So for those of you who've been here for a while might recognize this style of layout from a caption I did a while ago called Dear Caroline. I've been trying to figure out how to tell this story for a while now but I never could quite find a way to get everything across the way I wanted it. But while going through my old caption collection I ran across "Dear Caroline" and found my answer.

So while this isn't perfect, I really like how this one turned out. And it's always good to remind myself how time consuming creating a decent layout really is, which is why I don't do it very often.
