You've finally put up a link I'm on Ch7 of Season 2. I want to finish it before I get back to work on Wednesday Lol yeah, I wanted to try and fix some of the first season before subjecting more victims to reading a lot of plain text. I have 2 more to do and then it's on to move the first half of season 2 onto a blog...and good riddance Sims3 Forums. You're reading quickly  The chapters seemed to grow in size with every new creation. I found it hard to stop lol. I hope you reach the end in time Thank you for reading also Karima. I hope you're enjoying Um...so why is it that you can only respond once every 10-15m? Or is it just me. If for example I respond to Val, I can't quote and respond to Karima because the "reply" and "quote" buttons are gone... |

I'm almost done with Season 2, so by the looks of it, I'll meet my deadline  And Vincent is a naughty little devil. I like that he tried to steal a kiss, but I bet he would not have tried that with Drake around. Coward! But I still love him, and his warped sense of humor.
Wheeew, that was one MTF intense fight scene. I was on the edge of my seat the entire chapter, and those last few screens were nerve wrecking.
I really didn't see it coming, Zoe being attacked like this. You know if you were a producer of a TV show, your viewers would be cussing you out for leaving us with such a cliff hanger, we'd have to wait a few weeks before the next season to know what's going to happen with Zoe. Luckily for you, you are not a producer, so I won't cuss you out, and I have season 3 to move right on to.
Your visuals are amazing, the storyline is just so intricate, detailed and gripping. And the characters are marvelous.
I love our usual suspects to bits, Drake and Zoe, I think they share something really special and they truly complement each other.
Vincent is always the trouble maker, but I love his deep sense of loyalty. Lily's too, but there's something strange about her. I know she's a vampire, but I just can't figure out if she's young or old. Maybe it's the strange hair, but it gives her a "distinguished" air.
And Sarah has to be my favorite. She's so broken, in so many ways, yet she takes things in her stride, and makes life work for her. For a newly turned vampire I think she kicks ass! And I have a feeling she and Vincent would make a super team. But maybe that's just the romantic in me.
And ooh Andrea, was such a worthy opponent I think. You sustained her character throughout the whole season, and somehow I think she would have been happy with the way she died.Blood and gore, tears and so much drama! She would not have wanted it any other way.
Damn the witches for being catalysts in the impending doom, but I'm so glad they got rid of Cordelia. She got what was coming to her. And I'm thrilled it wasn't Drake who killed him. I know there was no love lost between them, but I think Drake would not have been able to kill her, as much they hate each other, she's still his flesh and blood.
I'm about to start season 3, and I biting my nails, thinking about Zoe, but the last line gives me hope.

First I have to say I see how my comments make you smile I came back to all of yours and I was giddy to say the least! Thank you for reading the story and commenting I am thoroughly excited about your enthusiasm for Drake and Zoe’s tale! <3 Xoxo for you :-) Lol! It took me 4 days to create the images for the 3rd season so you’d have probably come at me So I’m saved since the next season was there for you hehe. Zoe and Drake forgot to extend the protection to the rooms he said he hadn’t looked through. With everything that happened it completely slipped their minds and now they are paying the price for it. Drake lets his love for Zoe cloud his judgment at times and that almost always comes back to haunt him unfortunately. I put so much time and effort into the pictures I take for the story. For the most part, I don’t edit them in paint programs because I’m sure that would take even more time (I do this for some pictures but couldn’t possibly for all that I need) so I try to make the game images work as best as possible for me. I’ve collected a lot of incredible CC from Skeletalscreams and the 13th Sim (the best gore items ever!!) that just really help me reduce the need for Photoshop and the like. I have had to rewrite a few times to get the images to match the words but nothing too dramatic where the story makes no sense. What I am trying to say is I am beyond ecstatic that you appreciate the images! It’s great knowing the work is not for nothing The Drake and Zoe relationship I was a little scared about at first considering the back story I’d planned for them (him having watched her grow up and all…I didn’t want to weird anyone out) but the more I thought about it the better I came to accept the fact that Drake is already 200+ years old so she’s basically dating a walking corpse anyway which is all any vamp is. So I tried to make their relationship as unsettling as possible and just show how much he loves her and how he grew to want her in his life. And Vincent…the baddie…the man I love to love! I needed a male antagonist because my previous duo was snagged by the Syndicate and locked away…Drake can’t always be happy, that’s not real enough So enter an old frenemy. Their relationship is troubled to say the least. Since Drake is 118 years younger and not as strong/fast etc. he sometimes needs to call on Vincent for help which he always regrets. Such is the case with Andreea; with her being older than Drake he would have needed help to defeat her (although he summoned the strength of 100 when Zoe got hurt). Lily is a mystery. I’d written more about her in the first season (it never made it past the cutting room floor) but had to adjust it since she wasn’t really intended as a mainstream character, just someone to help when needed. She’s an older vampire, her hair and sunken cheek bones are somewhat confusing sometimes. (her face seems to change a lot, sometimes she looks young and other times she looks ancient…I noticed that too lol) but she was sired before Drake and Vincent. I think I’ll explain this in future chapters/seasons to settle any questions. Sarah is one of my faves too. I had a little viewer participation (I let my readers add their sims to the story) and one of my readers (Abeerkahn) submitted her while another gave me Andreea for Season 2. I wrote the back story about her brother and instantly fell in love. I wanted her to move from being the shy, mousy bookworm into a vivacious killing machine hellbent on revenge. The way she was dressed when I got her was EXCELLENT for this and it made her transition go well for me. Andreea came as a viewer submission as well and her back story was written by Nygirl. I loved that she was to be a baddie because it was just what I needed with the introduction of Vincent. It was like she was in my head and saw his female counterpart in crime. I had more written for her as well but some of it had her getting her hands dirty which I didn’t really want. I wanted her to remain a “Godfather” like character and use people to get her way. The Volatiles are all about crime and punishment and never concern themselves with consequence because they can just wish it away. We’ll see more of them soon. And you are absolutely right about Drake. He loves his mother even though she betrayed her family for wealth and status, he would never have been able to kill her (another reason for Vincent who was looking forward to ripping her head off) I hope you enjoy the next season (I’ll buy you a manicure ) |

I'll get to this one as soon as I can! Promise!
The response thing may be a double-post issue. Our Admin, Tina, set it to not allow double posts in a 24 hr. period before she took a sabatical, is that maybe what's stopping you?

That is just...well breathtaking! Ingenious, creative shots and spectacular action! Thank you! Your comments make me smile! I love that you're enjoying the story! The first Season aired 11/04/2010. So yeah around 2-3 months ish. I'm sorry the story consumed your afternoon though lol. That's what Val did to me with Krisis (I was glued to the floor). The thing I love most are the reactions to the images. I spend literally hours collecting over 200 screenshots per page and selecting carefully the ones that convey the message the best. You should see my hard drive, the poor thing. I'll clean it up soon though lol. There are so many creative Simmers out there whose lots and CC make each idea come to life for me I think and I love all of their talent for that. Also if I haven't said it, thank you for accepting me in this community It's a great outlet and I've been falling in love with the people here and the stories I'm reading so far! You're all so very talented! @jilly -- It's possible. I can only respond to one person every 15 minutes lol so I sit here and wait until the "reply" or "quote" buttons reappear I thought it was dealing with my rank or something so I've been reading the rules and everything to figure it out! |

so I've been reading the rules and everything to figure it out! Miss Goody Two Shoes LOL LOL I guess huh? At first I thought I had to activate something to get it to work, that's why I went to the stickies I'm going to start reading this soon! Sounds interesting! And wow!! So much work in such a short span of time! Thank you I hope you enjoy the read it's kind of time consuming. And yeah the time I've spent on these stories is crazy, but what takes up the time are the creations of lots or rooms for the stories. I like to get it just right. I've already written this full season (and 2 chapters into 5...when will it end?!). Just taking screenshots now. |
