    @Rockannie oh! Do you mind giving me a link? I just realized that would probably help me find your blog lol

    most people's blogs are listed right below their posts, just like mine! Sometimes it's just a link (I haven't made a banner or anything yet) and other times it's a photo and a link :)
    Hope you find that helpful! I know I was super confused when I first got on here
    Speaking of Banners, I need to switch mine out for my gif version. :lol: I keep forgetting even if it's easy to switch it.

    so you quote her back. lol.

    What?

    you qouted her after she quoted you.

    Agh. Okay. I was expecting your first reply (not the one I'm quoting now) to be Bugsie-ing me. :lol:

    you followed the rules this week. i bugsied cog instead. he put a bad image in my head right before bed time.

    Quick question. Is this acceptable for showing instant/text message conversions? Instant messaging conversions play a small role in the next couple chapters and I want to get the format/"rules" correct. Can I use asterisks to denote the conversation like so in my example:

    ***
    RandomScreenname: Blah blah
    RandomScreenname2: Hahaha
    ***

    Or is this example more appropriate:
    ~
    Randomscreenname: blah blah blah
    randomscreenname2: hahaha
    ~

    I will be using italics and different colored text for each person. My question concerns which symbol is appropriate (~) or (*). I prefer the asterisks but they are used to denote that time has passed, so thought I'd ask. Or a space between the conversion and non-conversion? Does it really matter? Thanks :)

    @BlackUndecimber On the earlier issue you mentioned there should now be a follow button at the footer of the blog. I set up a widget should should have added the button though I never have before so let me know if it didn't work.

    The usual 'follow' on the bottom right won't show up (weird) but the widget does! Thanks :)

    Hey. For some reason, I haven't felt like posting any of my chapters here (not sure if anyone actually clicked on my chapter links from here) but here's the latest WAWRMO chapter. There's one more from last week on my forum thread too...and two PTLT chapters on that thread.

    I think the asterisks work great! The tilde works great, too.

    The thing is to be consistent--whatever you use, just continue with that throughout.

    And I think it's fine if asterisks are used for time breaks as well as for stylistic breaks.

    Hello everyone! ^_^ My newest story is here, Confining Space!: https://simsbroughtbypenguins.wordpress.com/2018/07/19/chapter-one-irma/

    Commenting or messaging me critique on my story would be much appreciated, since I'm still inexperienced at Simlet, although I plan to release Chapter Three and maybe Chapter Four of On Their Way with the content I already have for that story, before it goes on hold for an unclear amount of time. Any feedback for either story is still much appreciated, as is following my Wordpress, if you think my writing's any good, lol. :blush:

    i forgot i had mc. which means i won't die because noel and lauren live together again. jes was upset i did the experiment cathtea wasn't or if she was she didn't say. noel will still have to see his daughter because hes a good dad but as far the expriment its over.


    i love when the benders challenge me which is probably why i still write them . but i told jes i had expected cathtea to be mad and her to be the one who liked it. i was shocked it went the other way. i guess even they suprise me sometimes. i love them though. :)

    Hey guys, it's been a while! I haven't been writing due to the fact that I gave birth to my son in real life on July 4th so I've been pretty tired and busy. I'm finally getting some of my energy back but a newborn still demands a lot from me. I have however found time to work on my legacy a little bit at a much more leisurely pace than before. (No I can't play a full week in one day anymore. Haha.)

    Still though, I have managed to get an update out! Week 37

    All my other stories are currently on Hiatus until my son can sleep through the night.

    since i don't have kids except the benders can i ask what your son sleeping through the night has to do with your stories. sorry i just don't connect it. although one of my sims has a newborn who wakes up so much i didn't get a pic til today.
