Welcome to the Reading Circle
The Reader's Nook.
Our group logo, provided by the wonderful
@Thymeless
This Reading Circle's goal is for writers of SimLit to talk, encourage, read, write, and grow, whether it's as fellow writers, motivators, Simmers, or friends. Everyone is encouraged to chime in, enjoy themselves, and read each other's stories.
When joining, please keep these pointers in mind. Everyone is encouraged to work together to read, write, give compliments, provide an uplifting atmosphere, and have fun. It's important to keep up with each member's selected story on a weekly basis as much as you can and to be flexible when life asks a person to take a backseat.
That's pretty much it. It doesn't matter what game you illustrate your story with - Sims 2, 3, 4, or any other Sims game. It doesn't matter how much experience you have as a writer of SimLit or other things. Any theme is welcome. What matters is the love and joy of writing.
So, let's read and write, chat, and have fun.
Do you want to join this or any other Reading Circle. You can find out how by clicking

I'll add you to the list here and if you want to give me the link to your story, I'll add it. You might want to say hi over at the main Reading Circles thread and let @CathyTea know so she can add you to the main list there. The link is in the intro post.
Again, welcome! So glad you're joining us.
p.s. I'm just reading the first chapter of your Immortal Legacy - it's fascinating!

Awww, I'm glad you're enjoying Forever in Time so far. Some of the chapters are quite text heavy and long but I hope you enjoy it anyway. I'll get starts on reading yours this afternoon.
Also oo-er at the premonition. It's a shame that I need to go to sleep, I want to know what'll happen!

Yeah, the premonition was scary, and Lenora and Tyrone aren't going to have things easy for much longer. Glad you are liking the life states too. I love fantasy stories and really enjoy writing the different life states and having them work into my stories.
I'll be starting your story this afternoon/evening and am very much looking forward to it. Yeah, too bad sleep has to call. sometimes I stay up way too late reading or doing something Sims related. Then, I'm totally dragging the next day.

What I'm attempting to do is write a story featuring my current heir and her father. He's unsure about the relationship his daughter is in right now, so I'm writing a little heart-to-heart scene between the two where the father comes to terms with his daughter growing up and making her own choices.

It does look fun and I've got my submission done for it. Yeah, it's nice to be able to use characters from my ongoing stories to work with. I don't mind making other Sims but it's nice to write some shorter pieces that can supplement my main stories. If you'd like to read it, here it is.
Daddy's Little Girl
This story features characters from "Forever in Time." It's a sweet little father/daughter talk between Aurora (my gen 2 heir) and her father, Tyrone, who has reservations about his daughter's relationship with former Casanova Silvan McBeth, Prince of the Fae.
I hope you enjoy it should you wish to take a look.

I do have a lot going on there, don't I? LOL. Tyrone is Lenora's husband and isn't the bad guy (I just think you got all the names mixed up. LOL). But yeah, there's loads happening for sure.
Yep, that's probably a wise move since you've still got a ways to go before you know more about the characters featured in the short story.

Oh, I see now. Yeah, the plan to separate them is awful and I'll just warn you that they'll be having some very dark times soon. I won't say more because I don't want to spoil it for you. Just...if you cry easily, get some tissues.
