Sorry, I just can't continue captioning

As much as I would like to, I think my captioning days are over. This is not a decision I come to easily or lightly, but I feel it must be done. Not long ago, I let my main site on auto-pilot to take a little break. In this time, I was hit with a legal notice. It was pretty scary but resolved rather quickly. However, it made me realize putting things on a little break may not be the best course of action. The experience sort of sapped my heart out of captioning.

This new site was my attempt to do it right, do it by the book. However, I fear that may not be enough to truly resolve any and all issues that may arise.

I've lost the spirit, but I appreciate all the fans and encouragement over the years. Thank you.

Walk the Walk; Talk the Talk

Eric had been fighting with his live-in girlfriend about the responsibilities of men and women in the home. About a week ago, she had enough of his male chauvinism and cast a body swap spell to stick in her body to see if he could walk the walk as good as he talked the talk. He protested at first, claiming that he was really a man no matter what body he was in, but he finally agreed to take on the woman’s role as long as she had him trapped in her body. After all, he also wanted to show that it wasn’t that hard. Of course, in less than a day, he wanted out. Making meals was a near-impossible task, cleaning was just a nuisance, and he couldn’t get the hang of ironing to save his life. He found himself dropping the shirt off the ironing board and getting his long hair under the iron as he picked up to get it. His girlfriend didn’t enjoy that he had burned the tips of her hair, but she was getting a chuckle over how inept he was as simple household tasks!

Skin Deep

Keith had operated his auto body shop for many years, but he had seen a downturn in business recently. He had attributed it to the Great Shift at first, as people were staying at home to adjust to their new bodies. Keith couldn’t blame them, he felt concerned when he suddenly found himself in the body of a young woman. But as things returned to normal, business didn’t. He soon came to one undeniable conclusion, people just didn’t trust a female mechanic. He couldn’t help but think how ironic that seemed. After all, considering the Great Shift placed all sorts of people in different bodies around the world, he would think everyone would come to the obvious conclusion that things like race and gender are just skin deep.

Life Lesson

Edgar Winston III had been CEO of a large company until he pissed off a witch. She had hoped to teach him a life lesson by swapping his body with a young waitress at a nearby coffee shop. Edgar had been almost instantly fired for refusing to do what he considered menial work that was far beneath him. Of course, with no income, he soon could no longer afford the waitress’s “craptastic” (in his words) apartment. Soon enough, he was on the street. But he still hadn’t learned his lesson. He was still rude; he still looked down on people. Even with his stomach more often hungry than not, he couldn’t even show the slightest bit of humility.

Disorientation

Kevin had a slight headache and then a momentary feeling of total disorientation, and suddenly things were a lot different. He moved his hands up to his head to rub his temples, but found his once shaved head now covered with hair. His eyes went wide as he realized he now had dainty, well-manicured hands, a swan-like neck, and breasts -- dear God, he was a woman! And not just any woman, he recognized her. He was Kimberly! Somehow he had swapped bodies with Kimberly!

No Swimming

Harvey couldn’t have been more excited for his business trip. Sure, it was full of meetings, but it he would also be staying at a resort next to one of the most beautiful beaches in the country. He couldn’t have been more bummed when the lobby clerk told him that swimming wasn’t allowed between the hours of 11PM and 6AM. He had meetings all day; when would he find the time to check otu the beach? He decided to sneak down one morning at 5AM, thinking no one would notice. Seeing how quiet the area was, he thought was right...until he entered the water. As soon as he dipped his toe in the changes to his body crept up his legs. He hadn’t been standing in the shallow water long before the transformation was compete and he had been completely changed into a woman. Those warnings were certainly for a reason, but he now had bigger concerns. How was he going to attend his meetings looking like this?

Starting from Scratch

John had made the same wish every night before he went to bed: to wake up as a beautiful woman. He never expected that wish to be granted. But one morning, he found himself in a strange room, and in a stranger’s body. She was gorgeous. He dug through her purse to find his new name, Alicia Jones. He opened up her computer and exploited a Google Chrome vulnerability to find all her passwords. He knew it was a good start to understand his new life, but he was really starting from scratch here. He had a new life, and he was going to enjoy every moment of it.
