An Anniversary Monologue and A Request

Hello all. I'm writing this caption with a twinge of sadness to inform you that I will not be posting in the next few weeks due to another commitment in the outside world. This unfortunately means that I will not be able to post on the first anniversary of this blog (August 17th) to celebrate a wonderful year of captions, stories, comments, and requests. That being said, I would like to thank all of the viewers who have stumbled upon this blog; whether you are my first follower, my most recent follower, a non-follower who still views frequently, or a non-follower who has only popped in to view my work once; and thank each and every one of you for supporting this blog. When I finally conceived the idea of a blog, I had no idea how long it was going to last, or how many people were to view it. I simply wanted to share my appreciation for the talent, creativity, and artistry that so many captioners and storywriters put into their work by sharing some of my work, and the warmth, kind praise, and appreciation I have received in turn, not matter how large or small, has motivated me to keep coming back with more. I never dreamed that I would have gotten over 100 followers, or over 400,000 page hits, or see my blog on the blog rolls on many other wonderful captioning sites, including those blogs who inspired me to start captioning. It is a truly amazing feeling, and as the first year wraps up, I just want to say thank you, from the bottom of my blond, bimbo loving heart, for supporting my work.

Now I know I just talked a lot about myself and just started ranting about some of the successes of my blog, but I really mean for this post, and this blog for that matter, to reflect my appreciation for captioning/storywriting and the viewers/captioners who make it possible to continue. As such, I would like to request that each and every individual who reads this post  to reflect on the past year of this blog and comment on some of your favorite (or least favorite) captions, stories, or anything else this blog is related to. If there is a certain story you really like, let me know what you like in the comments section of this blog. If there was a caption that reminded you of a piece of work from another blog, let me know down below. If there was anything you thought I could improve on, let me know. I know not everyone wants to post something, nor does everyone feel comfortable posting, but even if you have to leave a extremely short comment anonymously, please do. I am extremely appreciative of my viewers and especially those few people who take the time to comment (I think you all are wonderful, even if I don't have time to thank you for each and every comment individual), and I respect your opinions. I want to hear your opinions or reflections so I can direct this blog in a direction during its second year that will make everyone happy.

Wow, that's a lot to write, and a lot to read, and I apologize for that. But when I come back in a couple weeks, I really do hope that this comment section is flooded with ideas, memories, or other things that people care about. Or at the very least, send me a caption request to my email account at ElenaStarz4372@gmail.com, so I can have something to work for when I get back. So once again, PLEASE COMMENT OR EMAIL ME WITH THOUGHTS AND FEEDBACK FROM THE FIRST YEAR OF THIS BLOG AND FOR THE FUTURE! Thank you so much, and I love you all.

Your deeply grateful captioner and storywriter,

Elena Starz
