Captions from Kerina ^^

She reminds me of a siren, drawing someone into her spell by use of music. Or perhaps the wilis, German folk beings who were born of the spirits of young women who died before their wedding day. The only difference is that they lure men into dancing with them (instead of singing), and in essence dance him to death unless he can find a way to break free. But I digress. This has a similar essence of surface beauty, so powerful the subtle trap underneath can't be seen until after it has been sprung. Oh, and the picture is lovely. :)

Poetic. Very poetic. But there is nothing wrong with that. I also agree with Guendolen. It seems like the girl was a siren.

I checked and it seems that Amber didn't get any of Kerina's captions up on the site. :? I'll tell her so we can get this fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yay. New caption from Kerina. But what is going on here. A random girl changes a guy randomly?

It's an assignment of some sort, it seems. The target being some boy. The girl touched him, which relaxed him into falling asleep, and a change came over his body while he dozed. Then she left a note for him and moved on. It's brief and unique, and it's warming without being sappy like most captions written with that tone.

The transformation method and drowsy side effects also sounds familiar... I have a feeling I know who -- or, more accurately, what -- that woman is. I wonder why she didn't just change his clothing as well instead of trying to convince him to crossdress beforehand.

Kerina, I know you're cool with my criticism, so here goes: The caption, while overall very good, skimps on some crucial details to help a reader understand. I know this caption is supposed to be intentionally vague, but there has to be at least enough that someone can at least guess at what's going on without needing to read it two or three times. Also, there is excessive paragraph spacing which will forces someone to scroll the image off the screen -- that defeats the whole point. I really want to see more though, if you're up for these nuggets and aren't discouraged by this.

This one is in the same story-universe as Mecchen House.

I know it's been done before as a caption but I wanted to give it a try.

Personally I found it very chilling, which I think was the intention. This is a good example of how you can learn quite a bit about two characters through dialogue, without needing to overuse words. Just from this ONE little exchange we learn who the boy is, who the mother is, and we get a glimpse as to the mother's mindset and even whom she works for.

Also, the dialogue itself was spot on, definitely conveyed a feeling of tension between two parties. Really good dialogue isn't actually necessary for something like captioning, but it really really adds to it.

It's nice, Kerina @_@

I did the like the level of creepy you got this time. It was sweet at the same time. A nice son with a wanting mother. But he does know the limit. I just hope that mommy dearest will not take things too far.

Cute mouse. I did like the dark story you got here. Was there any real reason Gene liked the woman and not anyone else, or is it just because?
