I've been thinking about a new concept for some captions. Obviously, one of the msot well known plots in TG captions (at least outside of imagefap, where these captions are surprisingly rare) is the Great Shift, where the majority of the world's population is suddenly swapped into another person's body. The exact proportion of the population that is shifted seems to differ from writer to writer, but I typically see it listed as aroun 95% (sometimes lower; don't think I've ever seen it higher).

It's certainly interesting to think about such a cataclysmic event occuring. But I think it's also interesting to think about body swaps on a smaller demographic scale, so I've recently become interested in the concept of the Minor Shift, which was developed by tehswitcher (http://tehswitcherscaptions.blogspot.com/), and further developed by switchhitter (http://swappinggrounds.blogspot.com/). The idea is that it's a reversal of the demographics of the Great Shift. So instead of 5% of the population being un-shifted, 5% swaps bodies, and 95% doesn't. It's an interesting idea, and I like the idea of this sort of randomized body swap as a natural event that doesn't affect the entire goddamn world (I really like caps involving swapped and unswapped people interacting), but that just feels... small.

So I'm sort of playing around with the idea of a MEDIUM Shift. I haven't decided on the proportions, but I think it would likely involve the majority of the world remaining unshifted, but a large proportion swapping. Maybe in the 60-40% area. Or it might be an even split, 50% shifted, 50% unshifted. 

I don't really like the name "Medium Shift" though (or minor, shift, honestly), because those two titles exist only as a point o comparison to the great shift, which wouldn't have occured in the universe where they're set. So if I can come up with a better name, you'll probably see some medium shift themed caps if I ever make another caption gallery.

I know people don't read these things very often, and that most of my more recently active audience aren't my fans for my captions, but if anyone has any suggestions for what I might call it, I'd love to hear them.
