It's Not Fair! A Rowansford story «12...Next Go

SamelaRita

This is my please-feel-free-to-leave-a-comment-here space! I used to post on the forums with my stories, but can't work out how to do it here yet, so I've put my new story on my blog site instead.
Yes, it's called A Rowansford Story, because as I was making the town (Riverview, rearranged: I did build a world, but then couldn't get it into my game. Very frustrating!), I realised that the background characters I was putting in had stories of their own too. So there'll be more than one story, most likely!
Do leave a comment if you want to - I like getting feedback (plus, it's always nice to know that someone's reading it!).
I'd have posted a link to the story, but I've just had a pop-up saying I have to be around for a little while longer before I can post links - I guess the five years on the Sims 3 forums don't count!

I will read the prologue in a minute

Oh Rita *lol* now I need to figure out how to follow your blog with my blogspot account, it has been so long that I had to do that... already love that story, but please don´t get me started at Daisy. I don´t want to get banned

SamelaRita

Glad you liked it - and thanks for commenting as well! Yes, I had fun with Daisy...she's slightly modelled on one or two children I used to teach, among other things. The sibling bickering is all totally from my own experience - there were four of us, and it could get quite rowdy at times.
How did you get your picture up here?

Once you become a full fledged member of the sight, you can start posting pictures and links... though nobody is sure on how to achieve that status....
Nice prologue though!

Thankyou! Nice of you to say so - and to take the time to comment as well :)

If you are talking about the profile pic, that has nothing to do with any kind of status- just click on the little wheel symbol and then choose preferences. On the right hand side you find a menu, one point is change my picture- this is where I uploaded my profile pic. My signature I copied from the old forums bc I was to lazy to make a new one, and added it in the same menu, under signature settings; and posting pictures can not be related to a status, neither, as all my flickr pics from the old forum transferred

Testing...

Jepp, everyone can post pics here ^^

SamelaRita

Just put up a brief background history of Rowansford - plus a little geography! Okay, the landscape is totally recognisable, but the buildings aren't the original ones (I borrowed soem from other worlds and built some of my own: it's an eclectic mix!).

Chapter 1 took ages to write! Mostly, I think, because I had to edit lots of places so that it looked like a few years later. And probably no-one will notice the edits, but they mattered to me.

Hello!!! I finally registered in this forum :) I loved chapter 2!!! I was expecting something different and I was dreading the moment when Matthew would meet Daisy....but...surprise!!! And now I'm super happy ;) And I like Hanako as well :) Can't wait to see where the plans lead ;) Have a lovely start of the week!

I read chapter three today, and Charlie looked amazing in her new clothes and hairdo! I'm really enjoying the story so far. ^.^ Can't wait for more! And as always, your screenshots really set the feel for this story! Awesome job!

Yeah, they changed how many points need to be a member from new member the other day. And new members can't post links or images. But it looks like you manage to get to member status again! Yay! ^.^ *cheers*

HedwigTheWhite

I loved chapter 5 and all the story behind Rowansford <3 and I hope everything will be okay with Matthew's mum... fingers crossed! Love this story <3 Have a lovely weekend!!!!!

HedwigTheWhite

By the way: how did you move on to the Member status? I don't know what I should do to progress and be able to post links... and btw, for some reason this is not posting the whole of my comments! What is wrong?? I wrote a longer comment than "I loved chapter 5 and all the story behind Rowansford" but it's not posting the whole of it! :(

SamelaRita

The last-but-one chapter is now finished - link here:
http://samelasstories.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/its-not-fair-chapter-5.html
One day, I might get smart enough to learn how to make one of those pretty banners that people have at the end of their pages...maybe?
It's all about questions, this chapter (guess what: some of them get answered in the final chapter!). And, yes, there are going to be more Rowansford stories - they kept coming to me as I wrote this one!
Many thanks to everyone who's read and commented all the way through - especially annasommer, HedwigTheWhite, LJFoxie, Pyliathesunelf - and check all their stories out! They're well worth reading!

SamelaRita

And this is the final chapter of It's Not Fair!, but there'll be more Rowansford stories coming later - Daisy will get one of her own later on, but the next one's about a different family. With overlaps to this one. It starts before this one ends, as well - all will be revealed later (and opefully, All Will Be Understandable as well).
The last chapter's here: http://samelasstories.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/its-not-fair-final-chapter.html

I can't wait to read the new stories <3

I've just started the next one. By just, I mean I've taken 2 pictures! Just back from some much-needed shopping - I'm going to make a cup of tea and read your latest chapter while I drink it!

annasommer

I like it when people pick up a familiar charcter's storyline and start a spin off with it. I like it even better to read that you are planning on doing just that *lol*
Looking forward to reading what you will come up with Rita ^^

HedwigTheWhite

I loved the first chapter of the new story! And I loved how it intertwined with the it's not fair story! <3 And I didn't see it coming, about Lucilla, so I really liked the ending of the episode ;) Can't wait to read more!!

HedwigTheWhite

And again, it's not posting my whole comment...argh! I'll post it in your sims 3 page....
