A Post

Let me tell you a story.

A month or two ago I lost track of my capping schedule and eventually stopped entirely. I had combed over my entire image library (which consists of literally thousands of images that I hand-picked as images I had ideas for), and I constantly had trouble finding one that brought about a story I wanted to write, or that I thought you all would enjoy.

So I thought that was pretty much it, I was done. If I couldn't find ideas for captions in a library consisting of thousands of images I picked for their ability to supply ideas, I figured that was the end of things. And honestly, I didn't think that it was that big of a deal. I knew that thousands of people read my captions every day, and I wanted to give you all something you would enjoy and sub-par stories just don't do that, you guys don't deserve that. So, I figured instead of shitting out a caption every day (or two, which in retrospect was a bad idea), I would ride out the rest of my decent images until I ran out and then just sputter out. Funnily enough, I stopped with the caption celebrating one million views, and told you all I would see you in a caption that never came.

And that brings us to yesterday. Yesterday, I checked to see what had become of this place, and how it was doing even though no content had been posted. And what I was very surprised to see was a long string of comments on my last caption.

Those comments consisted of two things. One, they discussed the sad irony that I had left after that particular caption, or Two, they talked about how good my captions were and how they couldn't wait for more. I got even more of those same messages in my email.

Those messages broke my heart, especially the ones that fell into the second category. And, of those, one in particular really got to me.

Let me tell you another story.

I, like many of you I'm sure, browse many different caption sites that offer many different styles of capping. I'm a big fan of the Swapping Grounds (http://swappinggrounds.blogspot.com/), CelebSwap (http://celebbodyswap.blogspot.com/), and Family Feminization (http://daddyfeminization.blogspot.com/). If you haven't seen them before, they're awesome so check them out. But, easily my favorite caption site has to be Crestf's (http://crestftgcaptions.blogspot.com/)
Not only have they kept up their posting every day for years, but they have also somehow managed to keep stories deep and interesting, something that as a capper I will tell you is fucking impressive. Crestf is one of the chief reasons I even started capping, and I've liberally stolen ideas for my captions that they created.

So, when I was looking through the comments on my last post and saw that Crestf had congratulated me on my accomplishments and said to keep up the good work, it was just the kick in the ass I needed to give it one last shot. And to do it properly this time.

So, I purged my entire image library, pulled up some image albums and started again. And already I have found some promising images.

I'm not promising that it will be every day (although when I do post it will be at 4, like it used to be), but I will be posting again. And because I won't be stuck to a schedule, I won't have to worry about just pumping out captions, I can make captions that I think you guys will actually like. You have Crestf and all the others who asked me to come back for that. Thanks guys.

TL;DR: Crestf and some lovely other people asked me when I'd be back because they love my work and that time is now. Starting tomorrow at 4.

And I'm actually going to post tomorrow at 4 this time, I promise ;)

  2. I completely understand the trouble you where going through. I'm still trying to find a decent schedule to post on and I still find myself stacked with tons of images I saved for future use, but what can I say, it's worth it. :)
    Keep doing what you love.

  5. First of all, it's so good to have you back in the game.
    I've checked your blog almost every day since you've been gone. I even looked through all of your captions. More than once, let me tell you.

    Second of all, I know exactly what you must've been going through. I also have a pile of images for which I've had ideas in my head when I downloaded them. But some days I flip through the images, and I come up with nothing. In these rare cases I pick a few images, and try to solely concentrate on them. Most of these times it only takes the first sentence to get me going. On other days I sit in front of my computer and write 5, 6, 7 captions in a row. Of course, these are the days I like more ;-)

    And finally, I'm very honored by your words. I really am. And I admit that I even had a few tears in my eyes when I read your post.
    And I consider this a win-win situation for both of us. You are doing what you like and want to do and what I, and many others, love to see, while I am doing what I like and want to do and what you, and some others, seem to love to see. I mean, it can't get much better than this, right?

    So, once again, I'm very happy to see that you are back, and thanks once again for your very, very kind words.

    Big digital hug,
    crestf
