Very cute! I hope Resurectra was able to become friends with the cats in the end.

OPINION: Do you all like speech bubbles instead of text above the picture? Do text bubbles make the photo stories easier to read/view?

I for one DO prefer speech bubbles. This way (especially for readers new to a story, who don't know the characters names yet) it is way easier to understand who is saying what. It also allows the focus of the reader to remain on the picture, while text above would pull it away.

From my own photo stories, I know it's more cumbersome to edit in speech bubbles and it can sometimes be a challenge to arrange them, so they are read in the correct order (getting this right may even involve pre-planning which perspective to take the photo from or even the setup of the scene itself). But I'd say the results are often well worth it.

Then again - I'd rather prefer a story with text above the pictures to none at all. If people want to tell a story but do not have the time or energy to bother with more detailed editing, that's perfectly fair too.

So TLDR: Do photo stories the way that is more fun for yourself. This is a hobby after all and meant to be enjoyed.

Thank you so much for your input! I appreciate it! If I have simple stories, I'll definitely do speech bubbles from now on.

*dusts the cobwebs off thread* Sorry for the lack of stories. Had a rough time and had to move in with my brother in law. I forgot just how frustrating moving in. One pic short story for the time being till the dust settles!

Awww they're all so cute! I hope that things have settled down from the move for you. And that the dollies get the good ending and get some air!

Thank you! Things have settled down and they are all out of their boxes. I just have to get my creative juices flowing 😄 Thank you for the lovely compliment!

My apologies for the mismatched photo sizes (and poor lighting)! I used different programs on them, and it resized some of them.

not to be too pedantic, but wouldnt it go something like this?

"But if you feel like I feel, I got the antidote
All you twintails wave your negis,

sing the chorus and it goes

I'm Slim Cherry, yes, I'm the real Cherry
All you other Slim Cherrys, are just imitating
So won't the real Slim Cherry, please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up"

 

?

 

but overall fun bit.
