I hoped it wouldn't come to this...a rant

When I started making captions 2 years ago, I thought I'd be lucky to get a handful of followers on my blog.  I create and post caps that I enjoy, and I hope that some of you might as well.  Up until now, I've avoided adding a watermark to my captions because I didn't want to interfere with the look of the caption.

This morning, I found out that some of my captions were posted on DeviantArt by a user attempting to give the impression that my work is his own.  It seems that I have hit the level of easy pickings for immature people out there that feel the need to bump their own ego by claiming the work of others.

I've worked up a simple watermark that I hope I can easily work into my future captions.  I'll do my best to keep it unobtrusive, but it may be a bit of a work in progress.  I'm truly sorry that it has come to this.

If you'd like to copy and repost my captions, that's fine.  Please make sure you credit me and consider pointing back to my blog if you do.

To the ones who steal credit for the work of others... I keep all original copies of the captions I make, which are often multi-layered and higher resolution than what I post.  I will always have proof that my work is my own.

This one's a bit more on the darker side than I usually go, but the photo just demanded that I write up a cap for it.  There just something ominous about it.  I don't know if it is the fact that the girls look like they are on a mission, or that they are walking out of their jeans without taking any notice.  In any case, enjoy!

Since I've been doing a lot of chat hypnosis lately, I was inspired to do a hypnosis / magic crossover caption.  Those of you that I've been working with may understand the underlying inspiration on this one...and a special someone gets to actually experience it...talk about lucky.

Don't Swim with Sharks and an Update

My caption output has stayed pretty low lately, mainly because I've been starting to help people by doing hypnosis over online chat.  Practicing hypnosis is getting the bulk of my free time at the moment, and it will likely stay that way for a while...at least until I work out a way to quickly get new partners into a state where they respond well.

I could still use a practice partner or two.  If you're interested, leave a comment and we can try to work something out.

Here's a new exclusive cap for you:

I notice that this blog has nearly reached a huge milestone.  In just a day or so, it will reach 1 million views in the past 2 years.  I can't fathom my work being that popular, but yet...for some reason...it is.  Given my recent dry spell, it makes it even more amazing to me.

If you regularly read my captions, please take a moment to leave a comment to let me know what you like about my captions.  Here are some potential questions to answer to help me, but feel free to ask or suggest anything:

• Is there something I've been doing that makes my captions more appealing to you?
• Is there something you'd like to see me do that I haven't?
• Are there caption series that I should continue?
• Should I attempt to be more multi-cultural in my photo selection?
• Are the multiple panel captions worth the effort it takes to make?

Now is the time for you to voice your opinion on how I should move forward.
