Lesson Learned

This is a new cap I made for cronus over at the Haven.  As you know I haven't been writing much lately, but have been in the mood to cap.  I figured that I would give it another go, and after posting "You Said..." I figured that I would just settle on a short cap.  So I looked over cornus' preferences and remembered that we are similar enough that I could just write a non cross-dressing cap that I enjoyed, and it would work for her.  About the only 'specialized' request that caught my eye is masturbation.  I had written "It Pleases Her" for cronus which focused a bit on masturbation.  I didn't feel obligated to target that again, but it is such an unusual request that i wanted to take a swing at it.

So I searched for images of a woman masturbating or at least 'near' masturbating and came across the image in the first panel.  I liked the image.  I could play up that she was 'about' to masturbate or had just stopped masturbating.  But the kicker was her location.  On the kitchen counter... and with the cups strewn around I got the idea that this was at a party.  That would bring the humiliation around in a big way.  I didn't really want to disappoint myself again by not finishing a good cap, so I didn't start with the ending.  I just had 'party involving his friends while he was forced to display himself'. So I started with the beginning.  I started writing and writing and writing... I figured I would trim most of this out anyway, so I wasn't going back to fix errors or anything.

But once I had gotten to the second page of word, I realized I still wasn't close to an ending... and I had a pretty good story going.  I went back and fixed most of the overt errors, and re-read it and confirmed my suspicion.... I was making a long cap.  This was all good material, and the vague ending forming in my head would be a long process involving details set up near the beginning.  I realized I might need another image or two for additional pages, but I had this entire series to work from so I could get images later.  And I didn't want to break the workflow.  So I got back to writing. By the time I started writing about Linda walking in and demanding Erik to eat her out, I had the ending just about done in my head.  Eat her out, be forced to give head to Jeremy, Jeremy isn't happy, and ends up taking little miss slutty up the rear.

I liked it and I figured cornus would as well.  But then it happeend again.  I was starting to have trouble writing the blow job scene.  It was an important scene that lead directly to the ending scene... but this is the problem that generally derails a cap for me.  I get suck, can't continue and throw the whole thing away.  So I made the blow job scene as quick as possible (basically just the series of 'lessons'.  I then added the buttseks as a single simple kicker.  I was sorry to see it go, but I am trying to stay within my boundaries, and not fight them anymore.

Sadly for me whenever I look at this cap, that is all I will see... the missing true ending.  I think it works (I wouldn't have given t to cronus if it didn't), but it is just that little bit lacking.

How Many Sessions?

Never Ever Ever trust a horny roomate to help you with hypnosis!
A quick cap I made.  I don't remember much of the process on this one, but it is one of my favs.  I liked the intermingled 'Jessica' thoughts throughout his morning routine.  Like many of my older shorter caps I see plenty of room for addition.  But in this case I'm not sure the addition would be improvement.

Basketball Lessons

Basketball is manly.... right

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.
