How is your story going?

Does that work on people? Can I redo my marriage?

@jilly! I'm keeping my mouth shut because my dh hangs around here, but... if I find something that does work on people, I'll let ya know!

<-------------- I'm dreaming about this guy!

Well, it's good to see that some people are getting some story work done.

[holleyberry]

You two are bad.

[joandsarah]

Lol, well i actually have about 4 pictures done with an idea for the next two. After that I'm not too sure. I will probably actually have to play the kids a bit, plus deal with something unpleasant.

Major spoiler, don't open if you don't want to know. You have been warned!

founders are about to die

I'm not too sure how to handle that, I've never had one before.

Man, I hate it when simmies die.

Edited by Jo so Tina doesn't give the spoiler away!

[joandsarah]

Shhh.

Spoiler remember. I may need ideas on how to handle it in the story. I got the buyable genie lamp and gave Al his wish of cheating death back, so he should have a couple of goes at beating death. I figure he can say something sarky to grim each time. But I don't know with Elle if I should have her take to bed or just show a sudden picture of grim or what.

I hate Simmies dying too! I even had a Sim die for my haunted little white church, but I still have to put that one with the ghost up for download(that's if anyone wants it?)The one that is there, has no ghosties

[Tina ☺]

Oops, sorry Jo!

[joandsarah]

I'm sure everyone who reads it will look anyways... but you never know. Everyone knows what nail biting suspense stuff I write don't they?

[Tina ☺]

That's what I was thinking. People will look anyway..lol, but I guess it's better to give them a choice of knowing or not.

[joandsarah]

How did this get buried back on the forth page?

Anyway I thought I would count up and I am actually up to page 50 on my uni chapter which is further then I thought. 50 pages and they just finished the first semester of first year. Ok so at least half of that is plottiness with evil lottie, but still how is it I can never get what I want done in under 100-200 pages?!

[holleyberry]

Yeah, those scene add up for sure.
Good to hear your working on another Mobacy.

My stories are currently on hold while i play TS3 WA.

[Tina ☺]

Sometimes those pages can really add up if you're a picture-taking freak...lol. I am certainly that! It's hard to hold the page numbers down if you have a lot of cool pics you really want to show. That's one reason for my habit of leaving cliffhangers.

[joandsarah]

I guess because I'm visual I would rather show a picture of something rather then describe it with text. So most of my text is characters speaking or thinking and if I think there expression would have changed a couple of times I want to show it.

I think even though I do put a lot of pictures into a chapter it still reads pretty quickly. But I'm starting to wonder if I should do shorter chapters more often. But then I would have to label them A,B, C and so on. I'm wishing I had started like some legacy writers do and calling each generation a chapter so gen one chapters would be 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 but it's too late to change them back on the bbs now.

I'm at a point now, were I could end on a part chapter. Or is 50 pages too short? Maybe I should do a poll.

Cool. I can't wait to see it Jo. Guess what-I have started my new legacy and my guy founder is a romance sim. He wants to woohoo with 20 different sims and he already has 3 under his little romance belt. The first girl caught him as he woohooed the second one! Does it still count as public woohoo if you do it again in the hot tub, or car?
