Caption Contest: Body Mod Theme

I'm coming down with a nasty bit of something, maybe bronchitis. Lots of coughing and junk. So I won't be very productive for the next few days; I'm nearly finished with my Midnight Surgeon ebook, so I will focus my efforts on that, if anything.

Now, I've been wanting to set up a caption contest for a while, and in light of the recent successes of several contests held by other captioneers (Elena Starz and WesManTooth, respectively), I've decided to host one myself.

Full details after the break.

The Contest Rules:

Below are seven (7) pictures, mostly old morphed images of my own, which you can use for your captions.

Contest Picture #1

Contest Picture #2

Contest Picture #3

Contest Picture #4

Contest Picture #5

Contest Picture #6

Contest Picture #7

Knowing that many of you are good writers, but not necessarily good at working with picture, I have taken the liberty of adding a blank space beside each image where you can easily past your text. (This is purely a suggestion of mine, so feel free to alter the pics or text placement as you see fit. I just thought this might save a bit of time and trouble for some of you.)

You can simply type up your text in any typing document program, and open the picture in MSPaint or something similar, and paste the text directly into the blank region to the left or right of the picture.

Rule #1:

You may use any of the seven images above for your captions, but only those seven. You may only make one caption pure image, but may make captions for several or even all pics, if you so wish.

Rule #2:

Captions may be either very long, or short, but please write enough for a few paragraphs worth of text, at least. But they don't need to be as wordy as my own, by any means.

Rule #3:

Some basic formatting info: I ask that the final captioned images remain roughly 820 pixels tall, and no more than 1600 pixels wide. Larger dimensions tend to be distorted or resized automatically by the blog, making them hard to read.

For fonts, please use something legible. AR CENA, Arial, Courier, Georgia, etc. are all fine. But if you have fancier fonts you wish to use, you may so long as they are legible. Please keep font size no smaller than 10 point.

Rule #4:

The theme for this contest is body modification. So please ensure that your captions all feature body mods, such as tattoos, breast expansion, lip augmentation, piercings, etc. These can be magical transformations, surgical, whatever you wish.

Your caption does not have to be heavily based around these body mods, just so long as they play some basic part in the caption.

And if you prefer to make transgender or sissy/forced feminization captions, feel free. Just so long as some sort of body modification is mentioned, you're good.

Well, that's about it. You may email the finished caption (or captions) to me at berserkasaurusrex@gmail.com, just put "Caption Contest" in the subject.

If you wish to remain anonymous, tell me in the email, and I won't mention your name with your cap(s). Otherwise, please post what name you want listed with your cap(s).

Finally, this contest will run until around midnight of April 15, tax day here in the U.S.A. That gives you all about 2 weeks to finish and email me your caps. After the 15th, I will post all entrees and set up a public poll to pick the winner. I will also choose a personal winner from the remaining captions, as well as a third place caption.

This means there should be a total of 3 winners (assuming I get at least 3 submissions, of course).

I will make a personal caption for the creators of the winning submissions, tailored to their desires. The winners will have to email me a list or description of what they want in a caption.

If anyone has any questions or concerns about the contest, either post them in the comments section of the this post for everyone to read, or email me privately. Despite my illness, I will reply and answer them, as promptly as possible.

    1. You're welcome! I only recently found your blog, and quite like them. But however do you make all those animated caps? My one and only gif file caption took me hours to make!

      Anyway, I'm looking forward to your submissions! :-)
