Ask Me Anything

Anonymous asked: How come you don't do "AMA" anymore?

Me: Because I haven't had any new questions until yours. =)

Anonymous asked: I know I'm one to talk because I don't make captions, but why do you think you got such a small turnout for this contest? The quality of the captions is great but it's a pretty low quantity from previous contests. Is it the subject? I was really excited for the bondage theme.

Me: I'm not sure. It's probably a combination of things. The number of entries has declined since the second contest except when I extend the deadline and beg people to send in more - which I didn't do this time. So it could be that people just aren't into the contests as much as they used to be. It could be the theme but in the last two "theme polls" I did, bondage got a lot of votes. I was thinking about maybe not doing another contest for a long time, but then I see the quality of the captions that get turned in and I hear how much fun the participants have. Especially now, with Elena Starz's site down, I think I should keep doing them so people who like making captions but don't want to maintain their own website have a place to post them.

Anonymous asked: Thanks to everyone who made captions for the current contest. They all are sooooo amazing. But I really want to see what you would do with those pictures and this theme. Would you maybe caption these pictures and show us what you would have done. maybe after the contest is over?

Me: I've been asked this once before. I put the question to all of you to see if that would be something people would like to see but there was no response one way or the other. I'll try again

Would you like to see me caption some or all of the images that were used in the caption contest or do you consider those images "used" and you'd like me to caption new images? Vote in the comments section of this post.

  1. I think personally it's the pictures that decide the contest. some pictures just can really inspire someone with a story while others don't. It's the luck of the draw.

    I think that you should also caption the pictures in the contest but only caption the pictures used by the top 3 winners otherwise there'd be too many. maybe you could use whatever images the winners were using to mash in a 3-5 image series.

  2. I vote that you caption the contest images. I agree that doing all of them would be too many (for you, not us. We probably all want as many captions from you as possible). I say do your favorite 10 or maybe just the images no one picked?

  4. Ill be honest... bondage isn't my thing but i still think its a good idea to at least make your own caption of a few. you could use some of the images from the first few contests since we haven't seen those is a while.

  5. First off; LOVE LOVE your work!! Love. Second; would love to see any caps you do using contest pics!

    I just wish I had more time to contribute my own, I've always looked and had ideas then never been able to make mine.

    Please keep the great great work up. Honestly check your blog twice daily minimum, even knowing you usually only post once a day!!

  6. caption the images you like most and the ones nobody used. sometimes the images tease the readers then they don't get captioned

  7. I think you 'remaking' the contest winners would be a nice compromise between never using any of those images yourself and not going through and redoing all the caption contest images in your own time.

  8. I would love to see your own take on some of these images and the theme.
    I do think making the captions should be fun not a chore so if it floats your boat go for it.

  9. I agree with the general consensus here. If you want to, you should choose a few images and caption them. It is always interesting to see different ways people look at the same image and how it inspires each.

    Bondage is not really my thing, but last time I broke my duck, so next contest expect more from me!
