Thirst Quencher

A convenient device for a change is some kind of drink, often a soda, that changes the person in question. It's especially helpful when you have an image of a woman holding a can of some soda or other, like this one:



So, that's the challenge. Make a caption with this image where TG Soda, or whatever you care to call the brand responsible, is the agent of change. Whether (s)he knows it or not is up to you.

Comparison Change

The challenge for this one is twofold: First, I would like this caption to focus as much as you can manage on the change itself. Don't completely leave out the situation and whatnot, but try to spend more energy and text space on the change. Second, try to use as many metaphors and similes within the change's description as you can.


Why? Well,I know that sometimes it's hard to come up with a change description that doesn't sound exactly like all the others. It's part of why I take so long to make captions, though admittedly a very small part. Anyway, this is hopefully some helpful practice to help out with that.

Simple Challenge 6

Adventurers

There is a fair number of captions that take place in some sort of old fantasy setting, and often they just don't do much with it. So, here's a challenge:


We have a pair on some kind of adventure in a fantasy world of some sort. Let's say one or both of them was originally male. For the caption, try to tell about more than the change itself; try to tell a little bit about these people and their adventure. I'm not asking for an entire story, but at least dabble a bit in what they quest for, and why.

As for the cause of the change, you're free to use some of the more cliche things like the girdles of gender or magic springs, but it would probably be more impressive if you came up with something more original.


(I don't really consider this a group since it's only two...)

Whatcha Lookin' At?

Take a look at this quite captionable image:


She's looking up at something. It would be an overly easy caption, I think, for that something to be a guy she's now attracted to and/or a person who was responsible for changing her. So instead, make up something really bizarre or hilariously weird for her to be looking up at.

(It can be what changed her if you need it to be, as long as it's still something ludicrous or strange enough to stare up at.)

Awkward Levels Critical!

Okay, take a look at this picture:


Already a little awkward, right? Take the assumption that the girl pictured used to be male, and it becomes more awkward. Your challenge is to, by events described in your caption, make things even more awkward! See if you can break the awkwardness meter!

(You're free to make up whatever you like about the male pictured and their prior/present relationship)

Other Challenge Blogs

Hey, this post isn't a challenge because I'd like to announce something. I've decided to add something over on the right side of the posting area: A list of links to other people's anime caption challenge blogs. As far as I'm concerned we are not in competition, so I'm perfectly happy to point to other such things from here. So far there's only one there, but if you've made a challenge blog of some sort please comment on this post with a link to it, and I'll be glad to add it to the list!

I encourage anyone who's into captioning to at least have a look at these links.

More challenges coming from me later this month, probably.
