The final chapter. This is a long one folks! Thank you all who read my story!! I loved writing this.
I will post Author's notes by Saturday with some behind the scenes thoughts and unpublished images.
Thank you @JoieWilder for the challenge conception. I loved playing it and writing this story around it!
@WitcHazard thank you so much for reading!!
It's not long at only 19 chapters but it's my first completed SimLit! I was really pleased with the ending. Thanks for reading and commenting!!
The Orphan Challenge: Harkins Family is now complete. I thought to make an even 20 chapters I would add an additional chapter with thoughts, notes and behind the scenes screenshots.
I just started reading this and really like it so far. I often love to play with already existing households in the game, which is sort of like adopting a whole family I guess This is a really cute way to play and once I get settled in for the evening, I am looking forward to reading more.
@Kenadia how kind of you to stop by and comment!! I hope you enjoy my Harkins family. They are really dear to me as they were my first completed SimLit!
You're welcome I'm wondering if I can leave comments here and if not, where can I leave them? I'm worried that I write something that could spoil it for future readers. I started reading it and I LOVE Sophie, Victoria and Josef so far. The campfire scene in chapter 2 was so sweet and touching.
Ooh! You're doing the drifter challenge with a story so cool can't wait to see what happens next. I'm sure it'll be just as amazing as the Orphan Challenge but thankfully a whole lot longer
@WitcHazard Ooooh thank you for coming back to read my Drifters!! I'm so grateful. This one will have a daily release schedule rather than twice a week. The story is pre-written!
Graham is so cute! When he thought it was going to be easy I'm sure that's what everyone thinks when they start this challenge. Great start glad I get to read his adventures everyday!

@WitcHazard I imagine you are right. Many (like Graham) probably thought, piece of cake! Though I think many other's had more of an idea of what it would mean to be without running water, electricity and modern amenities for a while and didn't decide to move forward with the Land Grant that was being offered. I think Graham may be approaching this a bit too cavalier! We'll see, thanks for reading!
Looks like Graham a lightweight! Thats so nice of Candy to stay and look after a wasted stranger so sweet. Also Graham never handout your number when you're not sober that's how you get stalkers!
