I recently discovered Rachel's Haven and have already managed to work myself into a good bit of caption trade debt. I do plan to continue with the caps that I do just for this blog, but I'll also be posting up the caps that I've made for others at the Haven.
I'll start by posting up the caps I've done the past few days. Please note that these captions may have a different style or feel because they were made to fill requests.
I was wondering what happened. You have a pretty unique style, and it's that style that makes your captions some of my favorites. When looked at some of these before reading your post I started to wonder why your captions were starting to read like everyone else's. Your reasons assure me.
ReplyDeleteNo need to worry. I still love the short and sweet captions of the moments just following the change. I have no intention of changing that.
ReplyDeleteThe caps I've made for requests have been more about stretching my boundaries and finding out how well I can read a person from a set of preferences...I'm a bit of a psychology/hypnosis buff. I can't think of a better way to understand how well I can communicate than to try speaking another person's 'language'.
I'm sure there are things I can learn from them, but I really want to try to keep to my roots of telling the story through the dialog of the 'characters'. Personally, I find that too much description takes away from my freedom to let my imagination run with the situation.
Oh yeah...I also forgot to mention that I usually leave out names in my normal caps so that the reader can unconsciously insert himself into the cap.
ReplyDeleteI realize that the names in the 'Haven cap' category may be a jolt to some, but I hope that you can still insert yourself with a little work.
Hmmm...maybe I need to consider the names as I write the request cap so that I can pull them out of the version I post here. It would be more work, but it would probably help...
Oh the things to ponder...
