GPA

Just a quick something I threw together.

Stakes of the Game

So since I've been gone for so long, I'm trying to spend a bit of time making some captions for you all.  I've got several images that have inspired bits of a story, but now I'm trying to fill out the details.  As usual, I'm starting with simpler stories before trying to jump into anything really complex, but hopefully you'll still enjoy them.

This is one of those simpler stories, meant more as a bit of fluff and fun.  Once I saw this set, I knew where I wanted the story to go, I just wasn't sure how to get there.  Hopefully it came out ok.

The Winner

A while back I ran a little contest, with a caption as the prize.  The winner was one Brandon Noble.  Congratulations to you!

I wasn't able to work in your liking of mermaids, sorry.  I just couldn't find any source material that inspired me.  Still, I hope you enjoy your prize.

The Correct Potion

So I've been trying to plan out my next big cosplay, which of course means that I have been in a very anime mood.  I also found that I am specifically in a Lucy Heartfilia from Fairy Tail mood.  I've got quite a few images that have inspired thoughts.  I decided to start with this one since it was the most complete.

It's actually set in a world I had created as part of an old RPG system I'd been working on.  I had actually originally started working on it as a game to play on Rachel's Haven, but after certain events I've been much less active there and the project fell in to disuse.

The basic premise was that it was set in a world of magic, where those who were capable of using magic attended a school, like a college, in order to learn how to harness their abilities.  I know, it sounds very Harry Potter-ish, but I assure you that it is only a passing resemblance.  In my system, there were seven basic types of magic.  Students would choose a major, which would determine the type of magic they could wield.  They also had the option of choosing a minor, which would open up new options for their magic, or they could take a double major, meaning they could use two types of magic (but at the cost of having to split their advances between both studies, so they were less proficient in either one than those who only had a single major).  All of the magic types had some possibility for transformational effects, though some were more obvious (or direct) than others.  I'd have to go back and see if I could find, or remember, the full list and all the details, but that was the basic idea behind the system.  The trouble with such a system, though, was that it was hard to put numbers to it and still let players be creative with the effects of their spells.  It would need to be an Amber system, which is to say that there are no dice rolls or stats, simply the basic outline and the GM makes the decisions on what is or is not possible.  It's more flexible, but it also leaves out the possibility for random chance and luck that you get with the dice based systems.  Since random chance has saved my characters' lives many many times (I'm quite famous in my gaming groups, as my ability to get us INTO crazy situations was exceeded only by my ability to get us OUT of the same situations, usually through some bizarre and insane plan that never should have worked yet somehow did), I find the idea of giving such total control to the GM, even when I am the GM, is rather a turn off.  I never did find a way to reconcile it.

Anyway, enough rambling.  I'm sure none of you really care about any of that.  So here is what you have been waiting for, a new caption by me.  If you skipped the block of text above, don't worry about it.  This one can be read just fine without knowing the background behind it.

I hope you all enjoy it, and remember to please leave your feedback.

New Story Snippet

So this is a story idea that has been kicking around in my head for some time.  I thought about trying to develop it more, but never really knew where to go with it.  I decided to write up what I did have and make it in to one of my snippets.  As always, people are welcome to expand upon or take in new directions what I have here, just so long as you give proper credit and make sure you tell me where it is so I can enjoy it for myself as well.

This one also contains images to go along with the story.  You can click on them to enlarge them.

*edit* ok, so this one kind of ended up a lot longer than I had originally planned when I started writing.  It still doesn't have a beginning or a true ending, so it can't be called a complete story.  But it is quite long for one scene.  I actually left out some parts I was thinking about putting in, both to cut down and because it didn't flow as well.  Hopefully you will all enjoy, and please take the time to leave me some feedback.  Comments always help me to improve, and letting Any artist know their work is appreciated can help to keep them from getting discouraged.

Convention Volunteer

So, this is another one of those that has been kicking around in my head for a while, but I could never quite get right.  Well, today I was inspired.  Actually, I was inspired by what will be Friday's weekly comic (you'll have to wait till then to see it!).  But, while inspired, I also hopped in the shower for a bit.  A good warm shower is where I do my best thinking (go ahead, picture it, you know you want to).  While there, I was able to put together most of what was missing from this caption.  I sat down, wrote out the rest and filled it in as I wrote.  And this is what I came up with.  Of course, now I'm going to be late for work, so I hope you all appreciate it.

Numbers

I made this caption a while ago, and then I completely forgot to post it.  So here it is, I hope that you will all enjoy it.  This one is a bit darker than my normal fare, but I've been in a dark mood lately.

Another therapy caption

Knowing Your Position

Another simpler caption, as I get back into the swing of things.

EnterBrain Industries

Inspiration strikes when and where it will.  A longer caption this time, lots of text, but I still hope people will take the time to read it and enjoy it.

Cosplay

Ok, so as some of you know, Otakon is coming up (this week in fact).  So I've been spending a lot of time gearing up for that.  I'm still settling in and unpacking at my new place.  Oh, and I work outdoors, so I was outside for about 8 hours a day all during the heatwave (105 degrees F, baby!).

But, fear not!  This is not another excuse post.  No, there are captions below!

Jeremy sees Through Angel's Eyes

So the first ever entry into my little experiment "Through Angel's Eyes" has come from Jennifer at http://jenniferstgcaps.blogspot.com/   I opted to do this one as a story with images, as the storyline simply grew too long for a more traditional caption.  I hope that everyone will enjoy it, and that it will inspire some further ideas as well.

This time around, Jeremy just wanted a chance to explore his submissive fantasty, but what he gets is much more...

*note - holy... this thing took me Forever to write.*

The Guardians' Test

Someone really liked my previous captions using Reiq's FFX girls, so I thought I'd do another one.  So, I hope you enjoy it.

This one also has the potential to become one of my short stories.  What do you think, is it something you'd like to see?

Made my Decision

This picture just really called to me, it was just so erotic I had to caption it.  It may be the start of a new 'theme' for me...

Short Story

So recently I made a caption for someone on one of the other sites I visit.  Now, I generally enjoy the captions I make, but for some reason this one just really grabbed me.  There was something about it that just really got me going.  I found myself writing far more than could fit in a single panel.  I toyed around with the idea of expanding it into a story.  I ended up having a bit of free time, so I decided to just go ahead and do it.

You can find the story after the jump.  But, be aware that it is set in a world of anthropomorphic animals.  If that doesn't appeal to you, feel free to skip this one.  But if you do read it, please leave me a comment.  Did you like it, not like it, suggestions, constructive critisms.  Heck, write me a chapter?  Did it inspire you, do you have some new escapade for the characters to be involved with?  Share it with me.  Anything to let me know if this is something I should try to do again in the future.

Flowing Gender

Following my last martial arts caption, this one came to mind as well.  Its a bit nastier, but that can be fun at times.

Thank you Caitlyn

So Caitlyn from http://caitlynsmasks.blogspot.com/ apparently read my caption description for one of my quickies and how I didn't like the background in one of the images.  Then she decided to surprise me by sending me two copies of the image with different backgrounds.  So, of course, I am posting both copies here.  See which one you like best.

Kinky day at the beach

This one was originaly just an erotic story I had in my head.  I decided to see if I could toss the transformation element in as well.  Over all, I think it came out fairly well.

Tease

This one just sort of hit me.  I looked at the picture and the story formed almost instantly.  I spent a bit of time refining the details, but otherwise it fairly wrote itself.
