To be honest, I used to HATE captions when I first discovered TG Land in the late 90s when I was a kid. Mostly because the captions back then were very short and were often just pictures some gender-confused misfit scanned from a JC Penny catalog. I preferred longer stories!
However, recently it seems short-form caps have made a huge comeback, especially on Tumblr. Often they contain femdom, derogatory slang, humiliation, and verbal abuse but at least there's an issue of female empowerment! I like it! Here are some examples.
I'm digging this. Not all pictures need 200-word caps or more. Unlike other caps, a lot of these are in second-person. Time to make some of my own. What do you think? Should I throw a lot of these out there?

Not bad at all. I like
They definitely have their place. Short stories are always better of course.
The quickie captions feel like Facebook while the others are more like Livejournal!
I guess those Tumblr sentences are okay......but I prefer longer format ones. Those seem like pretend mistress type things rather than imagining what's going to happen...
