My Top 10 Most Popular Captions of 2020

 

2020 was a bit of a crapsack year for everyone, but it'll always hold a special place in my heart as the year I joined the caption game! And as such, I'd just like to chronicle the captions that you all seemed to enjoy the most! (And maybe give me ideas for what needs a sequel in 2021, but no promises) Let's begin!


Number 10: A Long Summer (Part 2)



Surprisingly, both parts (posted separately) appear on this list. The premise isn't entirely original but I think the expression on the model particularly matches the story in this one. I don't have much to say other than I'm pretty proud of this one for the story, but lack of images of the same model might prohibit any future non-POV sequels no matter how tempting the idea is.


Number 9: Spitting Image



A fairly recent one that I didn't expect to see on the list, given it's only about a month old, but it's another one that I had a lot of fun with, and one of my more "artsy" ones, since I edited in the frame and altered the picture to make it look "retro". I always love a sweet one with a good twist at the end, so this was fun to make.


Number 8: The Lady Doth Protest Too Much



Another fairly recent one, but I understand why, since it's an oft-used premise that I think takes a nice turn at the end.


Number 7: The Babysitter



This is another really recent one, and one that I really enjoyed making. The "Male Babysitter gets feminine makeover" premise isn't original but I like what I did with it and particularly like the model I chose for it.


Number 6: Blind Date



This one I can't take all the credit for, since the photo was from Andrea-TG, a phenomenal TG storyteller who also shared the caption, but it's another one I'm very fond of because it takes a traditional story (in-fact one that I've used several times in the past, particularly with the interactive stories I've worked with on writing.com and chyoa.com) and gives it a rather sweet turn at the end, which I always prefer to a cruel ending. Call me a softie if you'd like, but I like to keep my characters happy.

Number 5: The Perils of Automation (Part 2)

A rare case in that the sequel is more popular than the original, but I think it's probably because people were clamoring for this sequel so much that it somehow got more love! I love auto-dresser stories but captions are always difficult since such things don't exist in real life, but it's always possible to fudge it a bit and find a photo that manages to get across the premise without needing the exact scene shown.

Number 4: Say Cheese and Feminize

As an adaptation of an old interactive story, I'm very fond of this one, doubly so because of how designed it is, compared to most of my other captions. But when you have a caption about a camera, I just couldn't resist using a Polaroid frame, and that set of Sabrina Lynn photos really lent itself well for the progression aspect.

Number 3: A Long Summer



I like this one mainly for the experimentation aspect, since I'd never done a POV cap before but it's very fun, especially with a pose like this that lent itself very well to the story.
 
Number 2: Panty Raid Gone Wrong


This is one that I didn't expect to be quite as popular as it ended up being. I have a particular fondness for this model, Sabrina Lynn, and with the backwards cap I got a very bro-y vibe and rolled with it. I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention that this was actually pretty chiefly inspired by an old SteffiMarieChen cap called "Justice Served" which utilized a photo of Molly Quinn, which is quite funny because the next entry on the list is of course...
 
and Number 1: Temporary Daughter


Now, technically, only the first two are actually in the top spot, but I don't think it'd be fair to raise one of these up above the others. This was my first TG cap series ever, and I think it came out rather good for a first attempt, likely because I've spent so long reading them, that it was a natural jump to making them. I'm very proud of it, mainly because it was only meant to be the first one and then the story pretty much wrote itself, all I had to do was find the proper photos for it.
 
And that brings us to the end of the list, and the end of the year! I hope next year is better for everyone and I hope that I can keep making quality content for y'all!
 

 

 

Cut To The Chase

Decided to do my own spin on a concept that should be fairly familiar to anyone who frequents TG fiction.



Christmas Spirit

 

Merry Christmas! I've been sitting on this pic for months, so I'm glad it's finally seasonally appropriate to use! (It also served as my contribution to the Haven's 25 Caps of Christmas)



 

A Holiday Wish

 Another picture I've been waiting to use for months! (And I'm still doing some figuring out on what I'll be doing with the text going forward, so let me know what you think!)


 

Non-Believer

 Another one that was adapted from a writing.com story I'm also trying something new with the text, since I know the outlining isn't great to look at, but I don't want it to just be unfiltered text. Let me know if you like it or not!


 

The Lady Doth Protest Too Much

 Have I done a "School assigned feminization" caption yet? I don't think so, but it's about time!


 

The Twelve Days of Christmas

A Christmas caption that I did for the Haven's December contest whose theme was "Christmas changes with some kissy kissy" that I adapted from an old writing.com story that I felt fit the theme.



 

Got It Wrong

 This one's for the '90s babies out there! (And see if you can find the subtle reference to another iconic '90s cartoon) It was mostly born from the fact that with the bow, the hair and the outfit, the model bears a striking resemblance to Blossom (Commander and the Leader) of the Powerpuff Girls.



Waste of Time

 Ha! He fell victim to one of the classic TG blunders! The most famous is 'Never be the first to fall asleep at a sleepover, especially if you're not actually a part of it" But only slightly less well known is this: "Never doze off while waiting for a sister or girlfriend at the salon right after badmouthing the talents of said stylists!"


Impossibly Delicious

 An adaptation of my story "Impossibly Delicious" I came across the photos and they reminded me of the story, so I gave it a shot condensing it into a caption!



The Christmas Switch

 I don't have much to say about this one other than it surprises me that there are two Vanessa Hudgens royal doppelganger movies... and that the second one is a sequel. It's like Die Hard, how does the same $#!t happen to the same person twice?


Brave the Cold

 They do revenge is a dish best served cold... and it is very cold... in Fall! (I know this is sort of out of season but I saw the picture and got a Fall vibe from it)


 

Remote Learning

 

Another quarantine-themed one, although I'd be lying if I said I hadn't seen this idea done before by others.
