On the good news side of things, when I can, I've been spending my computer time writing my sequel to Chief Executive Bimbo, and I'm very nearly done. I was going to write a good deal more, but in retrospect I feel like my original ending idea will work better as a beginning to the third installment. So I'm just working on the very last scene and I should have CEB2 up for sale sometime this week, hopefully in another day or less. I've even gotten the cover done and ready, so I really just need this last few hundred words, and I'm good.
Anyway, I've also been digging around, looking for the missing caps I lost a while ago, namely the continuation to my earlier Spaz-Girl caption. Sadly, I still can't find anything. So I took my remaining notes, and came up with this as a sequel. Not quite what I wrote originally, but I figured some of you who enjoyed the first Spaz-Girl cap might like this one as well.
I can't decide which color font is most readable, so I'm just posting both versions. The text is the exact same in each, otherwise.
Aside from this new cap, and my soon-to-arrive ebook, I was hoping to have another caption contest for Halloween, but as I've yet to finish all the prizes for the last contest, it seems like a poor idea to start another. But if anyone wants to make some Halloween caps anyway and send them in, I'd be delighted to post them as guest caps and maybe come up with some fun ideas for a general prize. Maybe a new cap series, with some costumes-come-real curse as a theme or something?
Anyway, thanks for waiting me out, I know I'm not as productive lately as I should be. Hopefully with the weather finally getting colder, my allergies will abate and I can start really getting things moving again.

Brilliant news and a superb caption! Absolute love all of this! (incidentally, I find the white text more legible with that background!)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're doing well, even if you're busy; I was worried your health had taken a turn for the worse, so I'm happy to hear that isn't the case. That's a shame about your lost files, though; I hope you didn't lose too much stuff. I know you were talking a while ago about a sorta-sequel to Order of Magnitude, and I know how lame it can be to lose stuff you've spent time writing.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear about CEB2 (and even a possibility for a part 3, whoop whoop!) though! Really liked the first part, and the ending set itself up for a lot of fun possibilities. Definitely picking that up when it goes on sale!
As for caps, I totally would love to try and send in one or two; I'm busy with classes but I'd like to do something to show my gratitude for all the great content you're coming out with. Hopefully I can get some work done this weekend on that :)
And getting to this new caption....so fun! I really dig this series, and the possibility of those piercings screwing with Gertrude's ability to talk, I love it! You always come up with such wonderfully fun dialogue and speech stuff (Ro-Sham-Bimbo 2 immediately springs to my mind), so that's very fun to imagine. Although honestly, it sounds like some of these changes are positive for Trudy, even if she doesn't agree, lol.
Anyways, great to see an update from you, and glad to hear things are going well aside from it being busy. Hope things get less crazy soon!
I'm glad you enjoyed the cap, and are looking forward to CEB2. I've actually written a decent bit beyond the ending, which will be the beginning of CEB3, so there definitely will be a third entry, eventually. CEB2 is basically done, I'm just doing some editing at the moment. Hope to have it up tomorrow, if Amazon is quick.
DeleteHope you can find the time to come up with some Halloween caps, but don't worry if you can't. I'll have to come up with something for Halloween myself. I have these fun amputation-puppygirl ideas, and some decent pics to go with them, but we'll see. I've also got an old, unfinished Halloween-themed story I should work on. Hmm....

Any chance we'll get part 3 of this? I really love her failing upwards!
