Would you like to play a game?

Ok, so I've been toying around with an idea lately.  I've been thinking of trying to create a bit more interactivity here, giving people who come to my blog more of a chance to participate.  But, rather than just jumping right in and starting, I thought I would ask for opinions first, see if anyone would actually be interested or not.

Here is what I was thinking.  I was going to try and start a little game up.  Essentially, I would post a comic strip or page from a manga.  Only I would remove the dialogue from it.  Then, each of you would submit your own text to fill in the dialogue.  Anything you want to write would be fair game, so long as it was in some way TG related (this is a TG caption blog, after all).  Whichever one is the best (best could be funniest, sexiest, most interesting, etc) would win and get a prize.  Prizes would be things such as getting to star in a caption, or perhaps a custom morph (send a picture of 'yourself' and I'll create an animated morph for you), or something else similar.  I'm open to suggestions on prizes.  I would probably do one every week or possibly every two weeks.

So, for example, I would post something like the image below, and each of you would make a comment with the dialogue you write for it.  In the event that two people have the same idea, whoever posts first would get the credit if it wins.

If I were to start this up, would anyone be interested in playing?  Or would it be better in a different form?  Any thoughts, suggestions, comments, ideas or anything else?  Please, leave me a comment so I know if this is something I should consider pursuing or not.

Formspring Question

Yep, its time for another formspring question!  Today's question is:

Could you post some more anime caps? Thanks, I'm a big fan of yours!

I'm glad to know there is a fan out there of my anime caps, and thank you for taking the time to write to me.  It is really nice to know that people enjoy what I do.

To answer your question, I certainly have nothing against putting up more anime caps.  The only reason I don't is simply inspiration.  I can only write when I feel inspired, so if there is no spark I simply can't create any captions to post.

So, ultimately, if you want to see more captions, you have to help inspire me.  How can you do that?  Well, that can be a bit tricky, but there are a few ways.  One way is to make a guest caption for me, as I will always make a caption for you in return.  If you are on Rachel's Haven, I will use your preferences there, if not you'd have to tell me what you generally like in a caption.  Or you could write a guest story or story snippet, or continue one of mine, or write in the same setting as one of mine.  Additionally, you can comment on the captions you like.  I don't always respond to comments, but I always read all of them.  Sometimes the most random or innocuous comments can spawn entirely new ideas.  And, even if it doesn't directly inspire a caption, comments let me know what people are reading and what they like, so I tend to make more along a similar line.  The captions that don't get any comments at all tend to just fade away.  It can be very dissapointing to put a lot of effort into a caption and get no response at all.  Lastly, try suggesting images that you might like to see captioned.  I can't promise I'll be able to, but sometimes if you give me an image I haven't seen before, I might be able to create something from it.

There may be other ways to help inspire me, and don't hesitate to try.  But the above are all ways that I've found inspiration in the past, and likely will again in the future.

The Feelings of Defeat

An anime cap this time, I've been in the mood for some anime lately.  Another one that I've had for a while and only just managed to work out the details on.

(Not so) Relaxing at the Spa

This is actually an image and idea I've had for a long time now, but I could never quite get it to compose itself properly.  I'm not sure I quite captured what I was going for, but hopefully people will still enjoy it.

Self Reflection

I came across some new Alison Angel pictures, and they inspired a few captions.  You'll likely see a couple of her popping up here and there as I work them out.  I've also been in a very dirty, hardcore sort of mindset, so expect lots and lots of sexiness and eroticism in them.

Waking Up

Folgers never had commercials like these...

Our Daily Lives

Just a little quicky that I came up with.
