Magical Sailor Fuku

So... I'm going to link to stuff I upload to MA here.

Namely, captions. One I made with help (the intro one) but the other fifteen, all with Windows Paint and Irfanview. Making captions was so unbelievably easy and fun, I'm surprised I didn't do it more.

Have fun! I worked hard on making them just the sort of captions I enjoy reading!

(Disclaimer: I did, in fact, get Kasumi and Amber's permission for one cap. Though it was after I already uploaded it, which wasn't a cool thing to do but eh)

*claps* Really awesome caption work sis *bows*. Thank you very much for linking them. I want to write a reaction to each of them individually when I can set aside the time for a fully considered reaction.

They're really cute! I love your caption style, and the pictures fit perfectly. ^-^

Very great captions, Akemi!

Let's play a little game...

I got a lot of responses on AIM but not as many in person here. I want some on-record ego inflation.

Between now and 9 PM EST Christmas Eve, for every reply I get in this thread after this one, I'll make a new caption. And by New Years, I'll have them up and ready to go.

Help me find pictures and you might be a subject of one!

Well Akemi, I can say that you always do put alot of work into your captions. You can always tell that you've done your best on them. Might try varying up the subject matter a little. But other than that, keep it going.

Added a counter ^^


(And no, my own posts don't count. It's not that easy!)

I like the latest one, especially the part about the past life being a dream... I've told you my opinions of the others on AIM, though... Love most of them, and like the rest^^

By the way, the pending ones will all be released on Christmas day if people's posting don't do it. But why wait then? In theory you could all be banging up this thread, forcing me to create a whole bunch of captions! I wouldn't have made the offer if I wasn't ready for your punishment ^^

Tell you what though. Anybody can post what they want. They don't have to be about my captions, they can be about captioneering in general if you please... but this one of those few times that feeding the attention whore results in gifts!

The weakest one of all of them, was the swimming pool one that mentioned Ken, that's the problem with short caption, they are less stories and more one liners.

The rest were fairly good, the ones that came off the best were the ones where you described a situation that involved more than one character, and went a little into depth of the actions that led the person there.

It's late and I'm about to crash, otherwise I'd go into more detail.

That and I wanted your count to go up a notch ;-p

Your commentary means a lot to me, truthfully. You're one of my inspirations. Thanks Kougetsu *bows*

And I welcome any and all criticism for once from anybody, if you can keep it strictly professional ^^;;; (i.e. criticism on how to more efficiently create a story, or how a story matches up to a caption, etc. and less about dominant feminine undercurrents you find displeasing)

Good luck with more captions sis ^^

You guys blew it ^^;; You coulda had 60 captions or more out of me!

0.o Not saying they're to be coveted, but good captions leave to good extra activities.

Transferring the last pending one and removing the counter now...

Thank you.

The "punishment" ones and the friend insertions seemed a bit too ordinary, I suppose the idea of punishment is cool but maybe if you put less exposition in the dialogue?

Now, the ones I liked...

Erick - This was fairly good, I take it that it's our Erick. The concept is fine, the story is fine and there's a good deal of depth to the text and image.

A tale of two sisters - The humor was good.

Easy Job - This one is a C+. There's enogh depth here, but how she brings up her TF is a little too contrived and on purpose. Someone in her situation wouldn't bring it up like that.

You have it maid - This one I sort of like, it could use a little more work.

Jessica - Along with Erika, this is one of the best ones. I like the dream angle you threw in there, that was a nice twist.

The Riddle - This also was one of your best ones... especially since I can't solve it.

All right? - Remember how I said Easy job was too expository? This one is more like I'm suggesting you make it. There seems to be dialogue coming from the reader and it explains why she explains.

Sanctum - Remember me? An odd phrase at the end but other than that it's okay. Not your best but positive.
