Anyway, to answer your questions why I'm not uploading it as I go, or post what I have;
1) If I upload it in chunks, I feel pressured to make the rest. With normal captions, I try to make sure it has some standards, but if a mistake slips through, whatever. But since I'm writing something that actually happened, I want to make sure it's as close enough as I can. I know I can't put it _ALL_ down on text, but even the "condensed" version should be as accurate as possible.
2) I want to keep a sensible flow. Sometimes I'm working on the "next" caption, and when rereading the "previous" caption the flow isn't really sensible, so I have to rewrite either the previous or next caption, or pick a new picture, or start from fucking scratch. With other captions, if it's not entirely sensible or if I make a small mistake, fuck it, right? But in this case, I want to make sure the flow is correct and sensible.
3) It happened over the span of around 2 months, with different events. How can I split them? Events? Date? It's difficult to split it. So I'm trying to create a version where I can upload the entire story in 1 folder, where I can split them up, AND where I can seperately upload the highlights for the people that aren't interested in the whole story. So I'm writing it down in a manner that would work for most audiences.
4) I'm busy, really. I work 50 hours a week in a high pressure job, exercise 12-15, I also sleep; I don't have much time to work on captions. As a matter of fact, I'm also squeezing in a few during workhours (hooray for working at home).
5) I want it to be done right. With my normal captions, I throw the pictures that match my idea in a folder, write 20 captions in 2 evenings, see what works on what picture, and voila. But now I'm writing what happened in that moment, and find a matching picture. That takes a lot of F*ing time, more than I thought. :D And I think on 25% of the captions I've currently made for this story, I had to rewrite the text because the picture didn't match. Yes, I'm being very punctual and neurotic about this one.
Don't get me wrong, I love seeing that there's people interested in the story, and that actually motivates me even more to make sure it gets done! Thanks for the support! Just trust me when I say, I'm doing the best I can with the time I have. :)
A thank you to my fans, lurkers, and the fantastic people whose pictures I was allowed to use!
Let me start off with saying; yes. I know I'm a horrible being. Promising I would make new captions and yet it takes weeks.
I've been rather busy, because I got a rather demanding job. And I have to imagine the story being able to happen. But that comes and goes with a certain type of mood, and I haven't been in that mental caption-mood lately.
So rather than uploading a gallery I'm not happy with, I rather wait. And yet, I still have fans, and slowly but surely I get a few more each week. Thanks, without you people, I wouldn't have an audience to make captions for. I've made some captions left and right in the past weeks, only 2 or 3 at a time. And doing a half-decent job is something I would find a bit lacking of respect for the girls/woman whose pictures I've been allowed to use. Which brings me to my next subject.
A thank you for earlier mentioned woman. Without any compensation except gratitude (one way or the other), you get nothing back for it. And yet you do it. And you allow people like me to _use_ them, without any problems nor for any (financial) gain. So, I want to thank the following ladies with utmost sincerity;
Well, cya folks next time. Oh, and new captions coming soon. Really soon, I promise. As said, I already made them, just need to sort them and decide which I'm keeping and which I'm not.
