Went there once back in college. <br /><br />Love the yearbook cap though. So thorough. I don't know if you were asking specific people about caps or just any of us Havenettes, but you can put my caps up here if you want to.

It would be a way to honor caption artists that have left the capping arena, without offering any insult to current artists. Much like the Football and Baseball halls of fame, people could only get in once they've been 'retired' for a specific amount of time.

Maybe it's just that the idea you presented caught my attention and held it tightly. Both of the caps you presented are wonderful. Steffie's yearbook one in particular went in a direction that many of us could only hint at, and while it has the 'thrown together' feel of an actual yearbook, it's quite powerful when all the captions and personal writings are added together. <br /><br />Petra's isn't as groundbreaking, but shows the level of consistent great storytelling that she maintained. It not only is a good squirmy tale, but matches Bren's preferences to a Tee.

I can't say enough good things about both the quality of the writing and the design of Steffie's work, and Petra always knew how to bring each element of a story to the exact right amount to make it work.Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-68427635003104001822013-04-02T17:09:11.030-04:002013-04-02T17:09:11.030-04:00I was surprised that people didn't really say ...I was surprised that people didn't really say much about the two captions I posted. I mean, the amount of work that Steffie put into that yearbook one was incredible!

I've only seen a few works from Shysteffie and Playin Petra in some dusty far away corners of the Haven, where most newbies probably won't even dare to go, you still need a map, compass and sextant, and not an app to find it. It would be great if they got the attention they deserve.<br /><br />As for a name, well just before I visited your blog, I read that "Queens of the Stone Age" played a new song for the first time in six years. So thanks to the remark of the Queen of the Iron Age, I suggest "Queens of the Stone Age"<br /><br />Two great captions in one post? Either we did something very right, or you are spoiling us rotten.<br />Helena Radianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07628278680037628856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-26815494566216017082013-04-01T13:06:37.509-04:002013-04-01T13:06:37.509-04:00I think this is a great idea Dee. There are alway...I think this is a great idea Dee. There are always new people entering our little captioning corner, and they should know some of the greats that came before. And even if they know of Steffie's, Petra's, Courtney's and Jessica's captions they'll still get a kick out of seeing them again I'm sure! I think this should be BOTH a part of your normal posting as well as a special section. I wonder if there's a way to make a label (Say something like "Blast from the past") then have a page dynamically display only those posts. <br /><br />A name? Hmm... well I've already said "Blast from the past", but you could also go with "Mt Rushmore Captions", "Founding Member's Club", "Caps from the 'Dee'pfreeze", "'Dee'bonaire Caps".... That's about all that come off the top of my head. <br /><br />I personally like the idea as is, but you could always add more people later. I'm not as well educated in the stone ages of capping (Tee Hee), but I'm sure there are other luminaries that should have some light shone on them!<br />Caitlyn Maskedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732033913089350905noreply@blogger.com
