You heard me!
I feel like I'm a bit different now, so I'll likely be doing caption concepts that fit with the way I tend to think nowadays... so expect more "real you" and "tehs' feelings" caps, which I know aren't everyone's favorites.
That's not to say I won't be asking for requests again, but that selection process might be different too... (stay tuned?)
But all this is dependent on me actually following through. Just gimme a little time to figure out a pace I can maintain. I refuse to fail to upload a caption before June 24th, 2019 though!
Hey, just putting this out there, as a very long time follower of your blog (I was actually thinking about you yesterday) and a first time poster of comment, take your time. I love your captions. They're always fantastic, well thought out, and amazing to read. Super glad to hear you might be back, but don't feel too much pressure to continue just because. Caption because you want to, not because we expect you to. There's nothing wrong if you want to continue with a hiatus. We'll always be here whenever you're ready to come back. You do you.
ReplyDeleteCrunch.
Ohhh this means so much to me Crunch! Glad you appreciate the thought I try and put into these things.
DeleteAlso, I respect your advice a ton and always tell new captioners who are asking for advice the SAME thing.
Agree wholeheartedly with Crunch
ReplyDelete(Me too!)
DeleteI love real you caps, good to see you back!
ReplyDeleteOh good good -- I'm looking forward to cooking up some!
DeleteAnd I refuse to stop visiting your blog. Can't wait to see what you post in the upcoming days and I'm sure I'll enjoy whatever I'll be! Glad to see you back, even if it might not be long it still is always great to see you post.
ReplyDeleteAw thank you so much. Stuff like this really makes me want to just keep captioning. So glad to hopefully be back. Getting a caption written after a year felt good (though I'm so rusty!).
DeleteI come back from time to time just to revisit old stories, I'm a long time viewer. Glad to see a new post and looking forward to see what you do next
ReplyDeleteCrazy that long time viewer can mean **7 years** now! Absolutely bonkers. should revisit some of my crusty old work too...
DeleteI'm glad to see you are never going to give up! You were the inspiration to why I became a captioner and to think I've almost been at this six years now! I really like your "real you" concept you came up with!
ReplyDeleteCRAZINESS! Everything you said in there is crazy!
DeleteHope you end up trying on some of the "real you" stuff too. I think there's so much to do with it.
I'm so glad to hear you'll be back, if only for a little bit! You were one of the first captioners I started reading!
ReplyDeleteOh very cool! I don't even know if I can remember my first captioner... maybe Donnie from Donnie's World?
DeleteI always check on the sidelist of Swapping Grounds page to see if you have a new post! You were my my first captioner as well that I really followed routinely! Look forward to seeing what you come up with! :)
ReplyDeleteGoodness -- so weird hearing this! I felt like I joined captioning so late in the game... Glad to be back. I already feel more energetic after reading comments like yours.
DeleteGreat to hear that!
ReplyDeleteI came here everyday and now i see somethung new, booooom you are back.
ReplyDeleteBoom. Sorry to keep you visiting this dusty place though. :/
DeleteGlad to see you're back! A year really is a long time... I know the feeling, I too made a comeback to captioning just yesterday. Inactivity is dreadful, but so is trying to find the time to write when there's just too little of it. Let's all hope you get to enjoy the escapism again - just try not to stress over it!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah you get it. You know, finding the time really is something everyone is trying to master, and as I alluded to in a previous post, it gets even harder as different parts of your life change, but I feel like it's good to keep up habits that are healthy. And I didn't really understand in what aspect(s) this habit was keeping me healthy until I reflected on my distance from it these past few years.
DeleteLike everyone else here, I'm very glad that you are back. You are one of the finest TG captioners I know, even if you only make only a few caps per year. (Some people out there upload multiple pics every day, but they quickly get repetitive, so this isn't a bad thing at all.) When you post some content, it's always epic. So don't put pressure on yourself, and just enjoy writing again.
ReplyDeleteOoooboy, that's heavy. Thank you for the complement! I'm really hoping to get a bit better than a few caps a year though... Lol.
DeleteCutting it real close there, old friend! haha Can't wait to see what you have in store.
ReplyDeleteYeah I failed. Whoopsie. But yes, you and me should get talking again about some collabs...
DeleteGood to see a return.
ReplyDeleteSeems to have gathered together alot of the larger members of this community!
Glad to be returning!
DeleteCan't wait to see what you have in store
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm kind of excited about it too. I'm trying to do a new method where anytime I think of an idea I write it down and then just remember to expand on it later...
Deletehow do send a request
ReplyDeleteOh boy I'm gonna regret saying this, but, you can email them if you'd like or put them in the Request Thread on the side bar. The DIFFERENCE, is that I'm really looking for people to do some introspection when they request, which I'll talk more about in a post at some point. But basically, if you request something, I want you to try and be honest with me (and yourself) about what it is you *really* want from the caption.
DeleteFor example, if you want to see a caption where Brie Larson agrees to rent her body out to a young fan, I want you to be honest with me about what you're looking for there. Maybe you feel like it'd be interesting to see someone with such a strong, feminist image all of the sudden embodied by someone who literally just wanted her for her body? Whatever it is I'm curious and want to only make captions that are thoughtful from now on.
I'd love to see you resume your captioning
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to it!
DeleteI love Real you captions.Glad you are back
ReplyDeleteNICE - hoping to make some more of them. Just gotta figure out where I left off... I had so much planned but it's all lost on me now, lol.
DeleteOmg! I'm so glad you're coming back!
ReplyDeleteYessssssssss- me too!
DeleteGlad to hear your back!
ReplyDeleteThank you thank you!
Deleteso glad you're back :')
ReplyDeletebeen checking daily to see if there's anything new, but now the wait is over! can't wait for the new posts of 2019! you rock btw!
- the guy who suggested the "random posts" thing on the side
Thanks!! Hoping once the rust is scraped off I don't disappoint...
DeleteHello Tehs! I'm very glad to see you back and well.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward reading your new captions. On that regard I realize now that I submitted so many requests back in the day, my apologies if that caused you any discomfort.
Cheers!
- Tropican
Ah don't worry about it. But I appreciate the apology! (even if it's absolutely unnecessary) Hopefully you'll be sending in some requests once I get the new style for requests settled.
DeleteThat is a relief, thank you!
DeleteI'm going to post an idea for a request, I hope you enjoy it.
Cheers!
- Tropican
hey! welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay!!
ReplyDeleteTrait swapping, especially with race(it'd be nice to see more hispanic and Asian) are always intersting
ReplyDeleteTeh is back! Do whatever you need, take as much time as needed I'm just insanely happy that you're back. You and DonnieG's were my 1st cap sites I ever went to and Honestly still teh best sites I been to. Just wanted to say thank you for your fantastic work!
ReplyDeleteSo cool to hear! Thank YOU for your positivity.
DeleteI kept checking back here so frequently but stopped altogether around the start of June, what terrible timing! :O At least now there are plenty of caps to catch up on! :D
ReplyDeleteReally glad you're back, one of my all-time favourite captioners, sorry I'm late to: WELCOME BACK! :D
~C
Oh gosh, that's all my fault. I'm so sorry to have disappointed you so many days in a row! I'll say to you: WELCOME BACK! (and thank you for the kind words!)
DeleteIt wasn't so much disappointment as it was concern, so I'm glad you're doing okay and back at it. :) I've actually been reading your caps for many years and never posted until this month, so I'm very grateful for all that time and appreciate your response too.
DeleteEven if I don't post again (I just tend not to post), know that there are those of us who do very much enjoy your caps and appreciate the time and effort you put into them, even if we don't speak up to say so.
~C
Aw I really appreciate that.
DeleteConsider posting more too! I also enjoy hearing from the mix of everyone who is out there and making this more than a one-sided adventure we're going on.
