(*laugh*) I don't know that there is another cel 
in my collection that I could go on about at that 
much length. Such is definitely a GOOD thing.

I'm not going to pretend it's easy to caption 
everything the way I do. The caption for that one 
was easy to write, but it is not always easy. It 
takes LOTS of time, which I don't always have to 
spare. I also (like Robert) usually collect 
faster than I have time to scan, not to mention 
caption and update.

Captioning everything is hard again because (like 
Remi) I think saying the same thing over and over 
is boring to type, much less read. Unless it's 
for comic value of some kind, I aim to give each 
cel a unique caption. However, some cels truly 
don't have much to be said about them. No weird 
stories. No overly special scene. Do I not like 
those cels? (*shakes head*) I wouldn't have 
bought them if they meant nothing, but if you're 
talking relative to my others, you have a lot 
better chance at getting one of those from me 
than Larva and Garline.

I should mention that most of my cels have but 
one caption ever written for them. I have full 
backups of my site saved and even if I rearrange 
the cels (which I do fairly frequently) I simply 
let the captions follow the cels. Minor tweaking 
happens now and again, but that's usually it. So 
I'm really a bit lazier than I look about the 
captions. ^_~

In the end, a lack of captions has never made me 
think a collector doesn't care about their cels, 
and many oldbie collectors don't seem interested 
in captioning their galleries, either for privacy 
or lack of time. There are certain things I don't 
say about my cels also. What we have to say about 
our cels -- however much or little -- is one of 
the things that makes each gallery unique.
