So, after a great deal of thought, I've managed to decide on a winner for my Superheroine Caption Contest. This has actually been pretty difficult to do, because there really were quite a few captions that I really,
really enjoyed, often for very different reasons.
The Winners
There is just no way I can narrow it down to just one winning caption, so I've picked four winners. They are, in no particular order:
Meisa, for his wonderfully puntastic caption. I love the character he created, Punny Money, and I've actually thought up several more caption ideas that would use her. I like the general wackiness of the caption, with the not-so-evil-afterall villainess somehow getting her hands on a shrink ray, and fun way she uses it to teach her victim a lesson. That last line is just wonderful; I'm a sucker for bad puns.
q, for his Barbara Gordon mind-control caption. I enjoyed the Power Girl cap as well, but the dialogue in the Batgirl cap was just wonderful, and I always like a mind-control scenario where the victim is aware of what they are being made to say and do.
Doctor Psycho, for his Black Widow caption. I loved the use of a Life Model Decoy as an excuse to force the little assassin to get her boobs done. It's just such a very clever use of a real comic book technology, and I liked the realization that Stark was no doubt the real reason behind the enhanced bosom. All it really needs is a final quote from Fury about how he actually preferred the PAWG version of her LMD, himself.
And finally,
Dame Maree, for that wonderfully inventive series, that managed to make a coherent
story out of a great many of the contest pics, which is impressive all
in itself. I like the many different fetishes that were hit upon, most
particularly the lip expansion and subsequent lisping.
Honorable Mentions
Really, everyone is an honorable mention, but these are the captions that stuck out the best to me:
Nivek, for his AlphaGirl caption. I liked the way he setup the scenario, an invincible superheroine feeling (justifiably) confident that the villain who has caught her is no real threat. And I loved the method the villain came up with to turn the tables on the heroine. The fact that her fate was seemingly permanent was a very nice touch, for me.
Energizer, for his Crimson Lotus caption. I just really enjoyed the way the villain turned the heroine's powers against her, and way she was given new, permanent fetishes.
Finally, Zoligomyst, Namazuros, and Leila all submitted captions with very fun central ideas, from Zoligomyst's camera that sees (or perhaps creates) humiliating futures, Namazuros' magnetic bondage and particularly fun means of rendering a villainess' powers useless, to Leila's fun predicament bondage scenario. All were very clever and well done.
***
So, that's the winners folks. I do hope I didn't hurt anyone's feelings or discourage anyone I didn't mention. But with 14 contributors, it's difficult enough just picking my favorite captions. I did try to give everyone my personal thoughts on what I enjoyed most about their caption(s) in my reply emails when the captions were originally submitted.
With the winners now announced, I will now like to start working on the prizes. I will make a caption (preferably somehow superheroine-themed) for each winner, along whatever basic guidelines they come up with, just like in the past contests. So please,
Meisa,
Doctor Psycho,
Dame Maree and
q, please get in contact with me either through email or in the comment section below and let me know what sort of caption you want me to make for you, which fetishes to hit, or what particular hero you'd like me to use/abuse. Thank you!
And thanks once again to everyone who participated. This contest was a huge success, I feel, and I'm eager to try another one soon. Maybe with a Mind-Control Theme this time, just for fun.
Please let me know in the comments below, whether you liked the way I created images with blank text areas in place already or if that was more trouble than its worth. Given the large turnout this time around, I'm wondering if the pre-formatted pictures didn't have something to do with that. But it could just be coincidence, and perhaps the theme this time had more to do with great turnout.
