I'm a captionjack, and that's okay...

When a picture inspires the mind and a story forms within.

Mitchell and Katty:

You think it's as easy as it is to just say those things, but it's tough for me to do stuff. For one, I'm already forcing myself to do most of what I do, because it really is that hard for me to do. I have a lot of things working against me: apathy/lethargy; I'm easily distracted; I'm indecisive; my mind wanders aplenty unless I'm doing something interactive (and keeps me engaged), though my mind can still wander; doubting my abilities; doubting that anyone would find it interesting; if it would take too long to complete, a more interesting idea may derail my focus on it and that would be the end of that (I've yet to successfully get back to something and complete it).

And all sorts of stuff. I used to be able to write a full-length novel (at least) a month, but that was before I came to MSF. So, I do captions, because I can complete those in one sitting. And that's what I do... If I'm actually in the mood to make captions (well, my mind doesn't mind, but it often doesn't have the engine behind it to make things happen), I make all of the new captions in one sitting. The only time I had actually done them in more than one sitting, was when I made a batch of fifty. Though it took me two weeks to complete those instead of five days, because many days I just couldn't get myself to do any.

We'll see what happens, though. I've been trying to kick myself into gear for the past two months or so, so I can write this one story that came to mind at that time. I don't know if I'll ever get to it, what with having hundreds of stories in my head that I haven't even tried to write. I probably have half of a dozen stories actually completed, forty of them incomplete, and hundreds still haunting me in my brain. And most of those incomplete stories were from the days where all that I had to do was write, or draw. It's just evil, I tell you.

You know, I hear you on this. I have any number of unifinished projects, due to fading of ideas, writer's block, apathy, sheer laziness, etc. It can be hard to kick-start yourself once you've stopped. But we'll help give you a boot, if you ever need it. :)

Eh... If I ever hope to write a decent story, I'd have to somehow forget about MSF for two weeks or something. ^_^;

Not seeing you for two weeks would be sad.... :( But I'd still read your story, if you ever wrote it.

Sorry if I pushed a wrong button or something Nekkid. I did not mean for you to give a rant. (Looks down in shame and sadness) I too understand the who story problem. I get an idea, run with it for a few weeks, then I struggle with what could happen next. Soon enought, I even may forget about the story in a whole.

Again, sorry if I up set you in anyway. I did not mean to.

I don't see why you need to apologize. O.o I was just informing those not in the know, or those that have forgotten. My mind doesn't work with me very well.

But you may be happy to hear that the story that I have in mind has a nekomata of sorts.

The amazing thing about the story ideas that I come up with, is that the ideas are rarely forgotten. In fact, many of them make routine intrusions into my thoughts. I don't know why; that's just the way that it is.

I know how you feel. I have stories that have been stuck in my head for years. And they've evolved, too. Like my Gold Digger M epic.

In fact, I write to get them out of my head!

I find your pathetic attempt at doing an Eternal story very interesting, and well done.

Your 'experimenting' one has a bit of a grammer iffiness, but it still works well. Victim had the wand last time, and now the other guy is changing her for fun, but Other Guy can't pick which form to keep the Victim in, and the Victim is getting annoyed at being switched back and forth. Right?

I think that the iffiness comes from the fact that neither character are taking advantage of each other with the wand. ;p Two responsible wand users that trust each other... What is the world coming to? @_@;

Oh, that's not what's iffy...I meant that the 'I' and 'he' might have gotten mixed up at one point.

Yeah- overall, good work. I saw the animated image in question on Moeboard a few days back, and I had wondered what the captioneers on this site would do with it. ;) And yeah, the Eternal one made an interesting story, to my mind. The science one was rather fun, too. And I share your love of the phoenix image. That one's been part of my art collection for a while. Yes, indeed, if we could only find out who the artist was....

Yeah, I finally got through all of Moeboard, so it's not so hard just going through about twenty pages a day instead of anywhere between 100 and 300. XD I was unsure if I was going to use the image, though; the animated one, that is. As you can see, though... ;p

The Phoenix (in general) is one of my personal favorites among the mythical creatures. I've come up with a lot of story ideas that involve a Phoenix, but I have yet to actually write any of them. It's my favorite for the element of fire, anyway. I'm not sure what my favorites are for the other elements, but they are likely to be faeries, or fae-like.
