In fact, I want to do the exact opposite - make it so that you make as many of the captions I'm used to seeing from you as possible. Here it goes - I don't like the voting for captions. Although I can see why you came up with the idea - it sounds like a good idea to have the audience participate - I think it takes away from the spontaneity and surprise that we all love in a good caption. I can tell you that part of what makes me look forward to your next caption is that i have no idea whats coming, and participating in voting and seeing the caption gradually develop kills that for me. Let me put it to you this way - if i looked at every single one of your captions and was asked to pick my top ten, these latest poll captions wouldn't have a single spot. i would however choose captions like "Salon Visit", "Read the Contract (1+2)", "Bad at Math", etc. These are not just my favorite captions of yours' but literally some of my all time favs. Please i beg you to tap into the same inspiration that caused you to make those gems if that's still a possibility. I'm eagerly waiting as I'm sure many of us are even if we don't comment. I hope this helps :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487876244648201735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4208221540333166462.post-5380133392332424682010-10-14T19:31:58.744-04:002010-10-14T19:31:58.744-04:00Voting is fine, but too many/too specific votes di...Voting is fine, but too many/too specific votes dilutes everything.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14551994209296041547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4208221540333166462.post-57626526043588327562010-10-12T00:24:50.674-04:002010-10-12T00:24:50.674-04:00I think the idea is solid and the result was defin...I think the idea is solid and the result was definitely a good caption. I do feel like you may have lost people a bit with the number of polls before the payoff.mxracergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04809234407843460747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4208221540333166462.post-27200209419086931812010-10-10T19:12:16.015-04:002010-10-10T19:12:16.015-04:00That was really good, you used everything given an...That was really good, you used everything given and made it work. The cutting-off scene was powerful.<br /><br />I think that this was cool and that you should do it again. My suggestion is to use some of the polls that were used for this vote-a-caption, but remove the most-voted options. It'll be interesting, no?<br /><br />Maybe polls for the conclusion or plot development too.Shadow Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16452104033361785374noreply@blogger.com
