Wherever you are, Jayne, I hope you are well.  I miss you. 

Haven Quarterly E-Zine Issue 2 Coming!

The girls over at Rachel's Haven have once again been busy with the making the Haven Quarterly E-zine.  If you're a fan of TG fiction and captions, than this is another chance to see a collection of beautiful exclusive work done by some great creators.  There's over 70 pages of stories, comics and caption made by people like Smitty, Alectra, Jennifer, Caitlyn, Candy, Kayla and a host of others.  There's even a serial story and two exclusive captions by yours truly inside.  I don't plan to ever post the captions I donate to the e-zine on my blog so you'll just have to get them from the Haven Quarterly.

How you ask?  There are several ways to do this.  One is to donate to the haven's upkeep fund (click here for details).  Another way is to make a caption for either the Caption Challenge 6 or participate in Nadine's 2-for-1 caption exchange.  If you're already part of the haven, it's worth it to give something back.  If you aren't, than it's a wonderful incentive to see all to fantastic caption work coming.  This issue of the Haven E-Zine will be available October 3, so I hope you'll be getting YOUR copy!

[Classic Caption] "No Boys In The Room" or "Sharing Birthday Cake"

What do YOU eat in the bed?  Or is it WHO do you eat?

Another early caption, something I would love to find the original images and remix it.  It's a sweet story made sexy by the source images.   Anyone else waiting to get this present for their birthday?

[Ask The Goddess] Quality vs. Popularity

 

Which would make you happier to create? A cap that you don't think is very good, but is VERY well received, or a cap that you think is great, but receives no comments whatsoever?

I work hard to be this good!

This is a difficult question for me because I'm always aware of the audience.  I first and foremost write for myself - If I don't truly like it or see potential, then I won't post caption.  I have a folder of "B-sides and draft caps" that no one has ever seen because I wasn't pleased with the outcome.  Still, there is a huge motivation within me to try to make the perfect caption or write the perfect story.  When I make a caption for someone, I want to wow them and leave them excited.  If I didn't I feel like I didn't do a good enough job, than I want to try again. 

That all said, I always set out to make good captions that are well-received.  Many times I've scratched my head at the responses captions have gotten.  Some I've made and thought were only OK have been wildly popular while others I've personally loved with all my heart have gone all but unnoticed.  I can't control it and if I could I would bottle it and use it as a writer or artist!  I suppose if I had to choose, I would perfer to make a popular caption because I already know I can't control the response.  If I go out and make the best caption possible, than I should be happy with whatever response I get.  Because ultimately, I want to involve some kind of response, even if it's not the one I wanted or expected.

On a side note, I had a second question on formspring to answer, but I accidentally erased it.  I would love to see what it was so if you've recently sent me a question or you just want to add another one to it, than please go ahead and ask me anything.  Until next time dolls.  

   

[Classic Caption] New Rules Of Racing: My first caption

Originally posted on Rachel's Haven on May 2008

This is the first caption I ever created.  When I first made this, I had been on Rachel's Haven for all of a week and I decided to dip my toes into writing captions.  I had seen them for years all over the internet at this time, but they were scattered in so many places.  I had contributed stories to Fictionmania but nothing beyond that.

Looking back on this, I'm pleased with what I wrote, but I had no concept of design.  I large block of space, some text and a picture was pretty much all I knew (Notice it doesn't even have a double name).  At the time I was still exploring the idea of admitting that I had this kink so the Simone that runs this blog wasn't fully developed.  Over 250 captions later I feel I've grown.  Still, I can appreciate what this caption does do right.  I originally wanted to remix this caption before posting it and I still might just for fun.  How do you think I've done in the years since making this caption? 

Until next time, dolls.
