Yes, I do dare; I do, I do! *Nods sagely for some inexplicable reason* In fact, I dare to go everywhere! XD And now... My travels in captioneering have brought me to non-sauce-related prego!

Non-sauce-related prego!

(If the thoughts seem a bit scatter-brained in the caption, I did it on purpose. It was done to keep it short, and to reflect the main character's state of mind at the time. Or, at least I tried to do that. ^_^; )

*nods sagely* Interseting. Very interesting. Very nice caption I see now why you tried to capture the main character's state of mind. Good choice for the image.

So do you use word for these kinda things?

depends on the caption

some captions can be done right inside the image, or off to the side on a blank spot.

Me I would use photoshop, but only cause I have it

Glad ya liked, even if you didn't say so (I'll just pull at your tongue later with tongs until you confess). ^_^

And I did use word for this one. I tend to make HTML captions when placing the text on the image itself would either look horrid, or wouldn't fit. And I don't have anything to prevent images from getting enormous in bytes by adding more image space for text, so that's another reason why I only add text when there's room for it on the image.

And that's all for needless information you'll never have a use for. *Bows, then loses balance and falls flat on face* I meant to do this... *Inches away like an inch worm*

Actually I rather enjoyed the information and the instant I can think of something good, I'll put something up.

Great! Knock yourself out! Or, rather, don't knock yourself out. ^_^; Become a captioneer! All for one, and one for all! XD

...

I think I'm confusing myself. <.<; *Sprints away*

From what I gathered the new mommy said something dumb and got turned into a woman, possibly pregnant to start with. She really wanted to change back, but realized toward the end she would miss her girl friends and is probly gonna stay as is.

Well, for several reasons, I left some information out, leaing them more as suggestions. For instance, when I said the girl wasn't mentally prepared, I was hoping that that was taken to mean that she hadn't become pregnant at all. I mean, if you're not ready, you don't stop using protection, right? *Ehem* The other, is that I didn't mention there being any sex leading to the pregnancy: because I was focusing on the character's current thoughts, and wanted it to be clear that she was considering staying a girl somehow so as to not become awkward with them as a guy in order to remain with her friends, and not because of sex (like in those stories, you know?).

So, yeah... And the guy had to go along with the whole process or else he'd never be changed back. But the pregnancy and having to pretend to like the girl's husband aside, he wanted to keep the good part of the whole ordeal. So, while he'd rather not remain as the girl he was swapped with (what with having a husband he didn't like, and the responsibility of a child he didn't want at that time (never know, maybe he'd change his mind one day)), he wouldn't mind becoming another girl to maintain the friendships he had.

While all that's not readily seen in the caption, it can be, and hinted to a degree. I did the best I could, but I felt expressing the now-mother's thoughts at that time to be more important. And I couldn't seem to add all of that extra information without making it confusing, because I wanted to approach it from her take on things at the moment in the picture. ^_^; *Wacks her bad captioneering brain*
