I like this community, but my only thing is I have to have an idea or be reaaaally inspired to write typically, and that's at any comm. Maybe if we were given a choice of a couple different pics, maybe w/ the same theme (like 3 pics of kagura, or three pics of an alt pairing, and we can pick one to write to). Idk, I'm kinda just throwing out an idea, lol.

that idea sounds great in theory, but the problem is finding people willing to share their artwork

This is very true... hm. Tell you what, if this is something you don't mind trying, give me a theme you want to work with, and I will help you find pics and get permission. I have alot of friends on deviant and other sites, so it may help things. Just let me know!

hmm...honestly anything at this point would be fine. I think maybe something InuKag as some people have suggested would be nice if you can find anyone willing to share theirs. I'll keep on the lookout too.

A lot of people were on the list before it was abandoned by nikki. The last two pictures have not helped. Very few of the usual suspects do darkfic or yuri. Maybe a InuKag would help bring back some of those who have not contributed.

I defiantly vote for an Inu/Kag. I have only been in this community for the last two contests, and to be frank, the pictures did nothing to make me interested in this community, but I have been sticking around to see what comes of it before I take it off of my profile thingy.

I have to agree - I haven't written for the last two prompts mainly because I wasn't immediately slapped in the face by an idea - and if that doesn't happen, I usually choose to skip that week unless something eventually comes up - but also because of the reasons that landofthekwt suggested. An InuKag would probably work wonders, if you can get hold of a picture that an artist is willing to share.

And if all else fails, why not get a screenshot from the anime or manga and get us to reinterpret it? There's no need for the prompt to be a specialised piece of fan artwork (although I'm not sure if that is one of the rules of the comm...?) I'm sure we can all come up with something to write about a situation, especially with the picture out of context of the episode or chapter. It gives us a little room to create a story around a given moment, I 'spose.

Only a suggestion, but I hope you get enough feedback to keep the comm off hiatus. I'm looking forward to contributing. ^^

thanks so much for the feedback!

like i said, im only helping out over here, so i havent been here the whole time, but i think due to the profile headliner :

"Welcome to InuYasha Captions. Everyone has seen fanart of fanfiction, but what about fanfiction for fanart? In this community, pictures will be posted weekly, and it's your duty to come up with stories for them! "

that it's assumed to be all fanart, but I'm not 100% sure. If all else fails, I may just do as you suggested and use an anime/manga image.

I had a feeling that this prompt turned some people away due to the yuri content, but it was the first fanart offered up at the moment and i didnt want to get behind.

I will definetly look around for some het couples, more specifically Inu/Kag to use as prompts. If you know of anyone willing to share theirs, please let me know as well

Well, I re-submit my permission for this comm to use any of my Inuyasha fanart they want for prompts if they so desire.

That and I suggest that you not use dark and yuri prompts. Not many people write that stuff on the comms (or at least the comms I watch). I'm really not surprised this past prompt only has one entry. :/

I think if you'd selected one of her other pieces instead of the one next to impossible to come up with something for, you'd have had better participation. I'd hoped you picked the Miroku/Sesshomaru one - that might have sparked some interest since there's far more yaoi than yuri folks around here. I tried to think of something for this one (that wasn't really yuri because it squicks me), but just couldn't.
