This was a fun and easy cap for me to make. I wrote this for Bren over at the Haven. She is great and has made some wonderful caps for me, so I always try to bring my best for her. Luckily she has preferences that flow fairly close to mine... this is a portion of her preferences:
I like captions geared more toward a vengeance theme or someone getting an education the hard way. The field of revenge is wide open, often yielding new and creative means to find satisfaction. I often enjoy the karmic balance that screws with those who don't respect it. Watching their humiliation set in is always an enjoyable plus.
Revenge? Karmic Balance? Humiliation? Oh yea... I can get behind that. The only problem is that Bren doesn't offer much in her prefered female form, or any real specific direction on what she would like to happen. I imagine that makes it much easier for someone who writes their story first, but as I've said a few times, I don't work well that way.
So the majority of this was looking for the right images. All it had to do was tell me a humiliating tale. I came across these and got the basic idea of a basketball player taking his girlfriends place after defending a chauvonistic coach. When I got that basic part down I started writing.... but I did it differently this time.
I looked at the images (it was a large set) and wrote little side scenes that went with particular images. Normal I get a pretty specific Idea for the ending, then start at the beginning. When I think enough story has been written, I pick a 'starting' image then move on, adding images when they feel right. But this time I had a little bit about one image, then a little bit about another image...
The fun part was writing the story and shoveling in these little parts. The final editing obviously took longer so I could make it all flow together, but I don't think its obvious that I wrote it that way.
I know most of my posts here are varying critiques on my images... but I really do enjoy this one. Sure there are small bits here and there that I would like to change, but I don't look at these and cringe at all.
