Second Season and New Poll
Dear friends!
The second season of Anniversary Leap has just begun. The first part of the episode 'To Queen Or Not To Queen' was posted over at the AL blog. Please check it out.
It's also the first episode with a mid-leap poll. Which means that you get to decide which direction the episode takes. Contrary to the 'next episode' polls these mid-leap polls will always have two options for you to choose from. Mostly it's about a dilemma that the Leaper is facing in the episode. Once again you have 24 hours to make your choice.
Harry and I are really looking forward which option you are going to choose in this episode. And I hope that you're enjoying the way we're building up this interactive series :)
Best wishes,

First poll
Hey friends!
The second part of the last prewritten episode of Anniversary Leap has just been posted. And that means that the interactive part of the series has finally begun :)
When you go over to the AL blog, you'll find the poll on the top of the right sidebar. There are five options and you can choose as many as you like. The options represent the names of the available episodes. Some titles may be more obvious than others ;-)
Right now I'm planning to give you 24 hours to cast your vote. If this span is too short, please let me know and I'll change it (maybe not for this poll but definitely for the following). And, of course, the option with the most votes wins. And if there's a tie, then Harry and I are going to decide which episode idea to continue with.
Once the poll is finished I'm going to need some time to write the episode. But because Harry and I have fleshed out all of the possible episode ideas in great detail, this process shouldn't take too long :)
Oh....and you don't need to worry that you won't be seeing all the ideas we came up with. The options that don't win are going to reappear in the next poll.
With all that said and done, I hope you're enjoying our series and that many of you participate in the upcoming votes :D
Best wishes,
crestf

Anniversary Leap is live!
Hey friends!
The moment we've all been waiting for is finally here. Anniversary Leap is live!
And in order to celebrate this moment AND the 10-year anniversary of this blog, Harry and I decided to give you a special treat. A double feature, so to speak. We uploaded the full first episode, instead of splitting it up in two parts like all the other episodes are going to be. We hope you enjoy this decision :)
Here's a quick reminder of what's going to happen next. Over the coming days we'll be posting the episodes of the introduction season. And on next Thursday, April 14th, the very first poll will be conducted. You can then choose which episode is going to kick off Season 2 :D
And from then on we'll be having two polls for almost all the other episodes!
One more thing I'd like to ask before I let you go and check out the first episode. Maybe you could spread the word around about this ambitious caption series. Of course, only if you like it ;)
Harry and I would really appreciate it.
Well....the only thing left for me to say is:

Yet Another Anniversary Update
Hey hey hey!
Only one more week until the very first episode of Anniversary Leap is going to premiere. I hope that you're at least a little bit excited. I can assure you that Harry and I definitely are 😁!
In order for you to easily be able to follow the series (and for us to make the organizational effort easier) I created a new blog (https://anniversaryleap.blogspot.com). This blog is going to be focusing solely on the episodes and the corresponding polls and results. This way Anniversary Leap isn't going to mix with my normal caps (which I intend to continue posting right here as usual).
But in order to turn attention towards our ambitious series I'm going to implement a header here on this blog. Right now you're seeing a countdown until the first episode premieres. Once the series is live the header will provide information about the current episode and the upcoming one (if the poll for it is already finished). The polls themselves can be found on the new blog.
A few bits of information about the polls. At the end of episode 4 of season 1 the first poll will be conducted. In order to determine which episode will come next. Right now we're planning to give you exactly 24 hours after an episode is posted to vote in the polls. You can choose as many options as you like and you can change your vote as long as the poll is running.
If it happens that a poll ends in a tie, then Harry and I will decide which episode/which choice is going to be next.
Apart from a few exceptions every episode will have 2 polls. A mid-leap poll in order to determine the solution to a dilemma or to generally choose how the episode will continue. And a poll at the end to select the next episode. But in the hopes of being at least a little bit cryptic we'll just put the available episode names into the poll (and not the years or destinations) 😏.
Right now I'm in the middle of writing episode 4. After three episodes we currently have an average of 18 captions per episode. And it looks like episode 4 will fit right into this number 😀. I'm not sure if I can keep that average up throughout the entire series, but I'll do my very best 😉.
Starting next Friday I'm going to upload new parts of the episodes every single day (each episode is going to be divided into 2 parts). Once these prewritten episodes are posted and the polls begin, I'm not sure how fast I can write the new parts. Because even though Harry and I are almost finished with fleshing out the ideas we have in store for season 2, writing the caps still takes time 😊. But I hope that I can upload a new part at least once a week.
Oh....and if you have any suggestions or comments, please don't hesitate and let us know.
Best wishes and I hope I'll see you at the premiere of Anniversary Leap next weekend 😄!
