Contest Reminder and a Request

About five more days left in the Hot/Cold Caption Contest - I've got some REALLY excellent captions from some people already, but lacking in volume at the moment. Hope to see more creative ideas over the weekend!

In a different note, I'd like to send out a request for two items for future contests:
  1. Contest Themes: I've finally hit a rut in terms of creative contest ideas and would like to hear from you! Send me theme ideas that haven't been done before or themes you really like that you want to see again - I'm definitely looking to hear what people are interested in.
  2. Contest Images: Basically, I'm considering a "User Image" contest where people send in images they really like and let other people caption them in a contest! So if there are images you really like or want to send captioned, send them to me in an email! They don't have to be a specific theme - I'll either include them in a unique contest if I get enough people to respond/enough images to justify a contest, or I'll incorporate them into appropriate contests.
Send any recommendations related to the above two topics to the usual email (starzcaptioncontests@gmail.com) - I'm excited to see what people can come up with!

Hot/Cold Caption Contest

 I have been off trying to beat the summer heat this past week, which has given the inspiration for the next contest theme - Hot/Cold! I am hoping to get all submissions by Monday, July 2nd - the rest of the details are below as usual!

Guidelines
1. I will post images and a general theme to focus your work slightly. You may use other photos if you wish.
2. You all will take these images I have offered below and send either a completed caption (meaning image and text formatted together) or text with the image to go to it (I will put a cap together if you don't know how or would rather that I format it!) to starzcaptioncontests@gmail.com. 
3. You may submit as many captions as you want. All captions must be TG or crossdressing in some format (F2F is not really a theme of this blog, but in case any of you wanted to try this, I would prefer that you didn't).
4. After the submission deadline, I will sort post all the captions that you sent me in a single post!

THEME: HOT/COLD - The theme of this contest is the extremes of hot and cold. There can be a lot of ways this could be interpreted, with plenty of room in between! A few definitions to consider on how to add a little fire or ice to your caption concept:
  • Temperature: Go with the standard definition and go with something related to the sensation of hot or cold! A scorching beach, sissies clad in bikinis, or an island paradise filled with hermaphrodites might be the hot topic, while a magical snowfall or a crossdresser in furs might be the chilly choice.
  • Emotion: Perhaps you want to go with the hot/cold stereotypes, like an angry man turned into an obedient housewife or a cold-hearted mistress turning her suitors into shemale slaves.
  • Sex Appeal: Of course, I couldn't fail to mention the sexual appeal of these two words. A "hot" or "stone-cold" outfit or person oozes sex appeal and the potential of a passionate night of lust that I know some of you are very good at writing stories about ;)
  • Anything else: There are plenty of other connotations or interesting ideas to explore! It could be as simple as a commentary or a fiery red dress or an icy ballgown that captivates or ensnares your main character, or something clever like the "hot/cold" game played when trying to find someone (like a transformed man at a party!). Whatever inspiration strikes the iron hot or seems cool to you, go for it!
