I haven't felt the desire to make a caption pic for a looooooooong time.
Generally unless a particular idea hits me, one that I haven't really seen too many times before, I just don't get the urge to bother.
Well the impossible has happened I guess. These ideas came to me and I decided to make them reality.
I'm going to warn you now. They aren't your typical captions.
Caption 1:

Caption 2:

I know I had a few more ideas mulling around in my head, but it's too late to use em now. Perhaps tomorrow if I have time.
Though they are 'different' I hope they are enjoyable. ^_^

You weren't kidding when you said they're different. They both seem quite powerful, the first one was particularly. I wonder if all went back to normal, would he still make the same sacrifice for his sister? The overwhelming sense of regret I got from the caption makes it hard for me to imagine that he'd do it over again.
Your captions = Win!

W00t, conflict-y captions! Especially that first one... heart-touching but so sad too.
For these captions, I give you DELICIOUS FRUIT PRESERVES. :o *Hands over some jars of jam*

Actually he most likely would. He's the type of person who would rather suffer himself then let his sister suffer. Dus why he/she is willing to deal with the change for the sake of her 'brother'
Also, it's not all that big a deal, but I really love how I managed to get away without mentioning their names even once. :P

Woo Hoo! Jam! Now all I need is some peanut butter!... and bread... and a butter knife...

Nice to see some new captions Garath. I liked the first one. It was a kinda sad story. =^-^=

Man... both of them were quite good there. The first one was nice of the brother wanting to endure his sister's plain by switching bodies with her. At least now she has a great endurance to emotional plan.
The second one was really, really sad that his/her friend became a monster because he was always picked on. Now she has to kill her own friend to free him from the body as a samurai's oath and how losing his/her manhood was punishment for that tricking his friend. Truely a sad, sad story.
Well I hope you remember the other ones and have them ready tommorow, maybe. Hopefully not too many of them will be as sad as those 2 captions, I had sad stories or stories with very sad stories even though I kind of liked the captions a little. I am also glad I think one or both of them are images from my photobucket account.
If some the captions do have a sort of sad story to it, hopefully you can create a happy ending to those captions so I don't get very depressed like with the 2nd caption.

It's a shame that these weren't entered into the contest. :O (They could have been contenders!) Oh, well. I liked them. They may not be all that typical to most (even I dabble there from time to time), it's definitely typical coming from you. ;p

Same thing here Rowan! The second one made me really sad the she has to kill her friend that turned into a monster. The first one though, I was OK with. It was said most of the way, but then the brother was nice enough to switch with his sister to be a girl and her to be a boy. That was very nice of him/her. Glad he/she is tollorent to emotional pain which is very good so it will not be nearly as bad as his sister now brother has gone through and she will be supported of her brother who was her sister.

**applauds** They are most excellent. These are seriously some of the best captions I've seen in quite some time. I'm very, very impressed. Your stories were unique, and the narration written effectively and neatly. You conveyed the powerful emotions involved well, without being over the top or unbelievable. You did very well indeed.

Er, to clear something up. The two in the first caption didn't switch places. They just changed genders. They do probably look simular to each others orginal forms, but not excatly.
I had sad stories or stories with very sad stories even though I kind of liked the captions a little.
Ummm, what? O_o
I've got a couple of ideas. Let's see if I am awake enough to protrey them. Also I forgot there was a contest going on.
I just may have one left that I could enter in it though...

Oh in the first caption they switched Genders not bodies. Sorry that I got that a little confused there. Thanks for clearing it up for me.
well anyways, hope to see your other ideas in the near future in TG caption format, maybe with more of the images in my photobucket account. And maybe next time make some fun ones and/or happy ones, I rather not be boged down with a bunch more sad ones, there got to be some sort of balance here.

Only two more I'm afraid, and one of them is a quicky.
Caption 3: Short and sweet:

Bleh, sorry for the compression on that last one.
I still have at least one more I want to do. But with my schedual for this week as it is. I'm not sure when I'll have the time.

The quickie one was cute. It made me chuckle.

And the sisters one was lovely. I really like your storytelling style, you know.
