Locked Inside

A little while ago (read: in May) I got really inspired by Tehswitcher's story Selling Something. I wanted to expand more on the fascinating concept of "Human Prison".

So – here's a story that's a bit longer than usual (practically a whole series) to make up for my long absence. Hope you enjoy!

Also, you can read the whole story in text form here: Locked Inside {text form}

Making a Following

Still here! This story has two purposes: 1) I wanted to explore this idea of a shapeshifter using their ability as a form of art. 2) I wanted to raise some conversation, as I want to hear more about what you think. So, please comment below what you think about these couple of themes, concerning my future stories:

In most of my captions I have used pictures of attractive people. How much do the pictures matter? Sexy people are sexy, that much is clear. Everybody likes that. But in your opinion, is sexiness necessary, or could/should there also be stories/pictures with people who are traditionally considered less attractive?

What's your opinion on the stories itself? Do you prefer stories with erotic/sexual elements and themes, or are you also interested in stories that focus more on the different lives, personalities, motives and choices of the characters?

Does gender matter? Most of the pictures in my captions are of women - should there also / should there not be men?

Let Me In

As usual, this story took me far longer to write than I would have thought. I originally wrote it in third person, and multiple rewrites were needed to properly convey the feeling that I was aiming for. The premise hasn't changed much, but what started as just one frame ended up becoming a three-parter. I hope you all enjoy how it turned out.

At the Worst Possible Time [GIF]

Surprise! I wrote another caption. I've had this one planned for well over a year, I even had some text ready. But when I started working on it again, it needed to be completely rewritten. And that took a lot of time. So, here you go, I guess!

It was very interesting to experiment with 1) a more sinister, even psycopathic/sosiopathic villain and 2) a much more detailed costume gun / skin suit story from the other person's perspective. The text turned out a fair bit longer than I expected, so I decided to split the story into two parts, A and B. Be sure to read them both, and in the correct order!

I've recently been contacted by quite a few of you, asking about my disappearance. As you can see, I am still here, and it very much warms my heart so see that you all still wish to see more work from me. I'm still interested in writing more captions - the only problem is time. I just have far too little of it. If I find the time for it, I'll keep writing, but I make no promises. There may very well be more stories in the future. I sure hope so. But we'll have to see.

Alright - here's another caption that I started working on at least a year ago...!

There's Going to Be a Change

Two months ago, I said that tomorrow I would tell you all more about my captioning schedule and future plans... Then, stuff happened. These have been the busiest two months of my life so far, but now I'm back! I try to get the info out as soon as I can.

Also, I hope that you enjoy this never before seen multi-parter story! I originally planned and wrote it a long time ago but wasn't really happy with the result... Recently, I then decided to completely rework it. ^^

Rich and Good-Looking - Follow-Up

My original plan was to complete this caption in one run but it seems that the "would-be part C" still needs some work. Therefore, I will  still continue this story, but instead of revealing it all right away, I'll post the last part a bit later as a "follow-up" caption.

More info about my schedule coming up tomorrow.

This story may contain SPOILERS for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. You have been warned!

Since the newest addition to the saga of the galaxy far far away has already been out for over two weeks, I find it suitable to finally publish my alternate version of the story! I know that people's thoughts about the film have been very polarized, so I'll just leave it at that. However, while watching the movie, I noticed a moment that could have taken a very interesting turn that I wanted to portray in a quick caption. Personally, I really enjoyed writing this caption and I'm sure it will provide you with some food for thought!

As you can see, Part A of this story basically repeats what already happened in the movie and the actual difference is only visible in Part B. However, I decided that it was necessary to properly introduce the situation instead of simply jumping straight into the usual action!

I'd like to hear what you think / would have thought about this plot twist!

PS: I was planning on writing a holiday-themed caption but for one reason or another, I wasn't able to make it as good as I'd have wanted it to be. We'll see if I can find a way to finish it properly...

Mother of Dragons

NOTE: This story may contain spoilers for Game of Thrones season 2!

After writing my Scooby-Doo themed multi-parter You Don't Eat Stuff That Glows, I wanted to experiment a bit more with the idea of rewriting popular scenes from different TV shows and movies.

This time, I chose Daenerys' visit to the House of the Undying from the second season finale of Game of Thrones. I'm fully aware that the scene played out very differently in the books. However, I chose to base my story on the TV version because the most of you are probably more familiar with it. You can watch the original video clip here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7VuGknEfQY

I hope you enjoy this one!

Quite a Ride

This time, a bit more detailed two-parter - enjoy!

If I Didn't Have Such a Poor Vision [GIF]

The text became far too long to be put next to only one picture, so I had to split the caption in two. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a picture with people for the first one...

You Don't Eat Stuff That Glows!

This story was requested by dA's RedHunterX half a year ago. Needless to say, it's in many ways very different to my usual captions. It is based on one scene in the movie Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, which I have altered and expanded according to RedHunterX's wishes. You can watch the original movie clip here.

Now it would be a good time to remind you that requests aren't (or haven't ever been) in any way my top priority. I really enjoy writing then when I have the right inspiration, but it is often much harder to find as the ideas aren't completely my own. Therefore, I will always prioritise my own stories if I suddenly get a brilliant idea. So, you can still suggest me your own ideas, but don't expect them to be finished in at least a few months.

I have to keep a quick break in captioning as I currently have so much other work going on. However, I'll return with RedHunterX's request in a couple of weeks.

A Basket Full of Laundry

Another story for the weekend - this time a two-parter!

Being Young Again

It has taken me surprisingly long to finish this caption... Well, now here it is!

~ TOTEM

It Can't Be Possible

I made this quick two-parter to finally get rid of some of my older spare pictures... Not really a real body swap, but something interesting to think about anyway... I highly recommend that you also check out the other caption I wrote today, that one is animated!

~ TOTEM

A Reason to Feel Upset?

I decided to use some spare pictures that I had lying around...

Turning the Tables

Right now I'm very busy. I have gotten many messages from you guys but just haven't had the time to read them or to respond back to you. So, please be patient, I'll come back to them when I have more time.

Photographs

Experimenting with the visual style of my captions... What do you think, should the different parts of "multiple picture captions" all have the same background colour, or should it be different for each of them? Note that usually the images aren't this similar either...
