Hi! I wanted to submit a "for fun" entry because I can't really access The Sims at the moment for screenshots, but I don't have a separate blog or anything... should I just, post it here when I'm done with my entry?
@Xylorta-XV Hi! You can make a new thread in the appropriate section of the forums and post the link to that thread here... you could even add pics at a later date if you'd like!
I do intend to submit a story this month, I hope others do as well! I've got Monday and Tuesday off work so I figured I'd have plenty of time to put the screenshots together.
I'm trying! LoL been so busy lately! I'm gonna get on it tomorrow morning, I've got all the idea down, just need to write it out. Hopefully shouldn't take more than a couple days.
Money can't buy you happiness
but it can buy The Sims
which is pretty much
the same thing
I'm working on an idea that I should hopefully have done in the next couple days. I've just been caught up in getting ahead in my legacy so I don't push it off when school starts getting crazy.
Update: I have it written, screenshotting tonight and hopefully I'll have it posted my the end of the night.
I won't be participating in this month's challenge unfortunately - inspiration still hasn't struck, and I'll be busy the next couple of days. Well, who knows - my last entry was submitted two days before the deadline xD
I wanted to submit something for this month but I'm either struggling with an ending or getting it within the limit Maybe I'll make it
Or maybe not
I struggled hard with the limit this month lol. My original draft of the idea ended up being over 2000 works and I had to strip the story down to the necessities. Fingers crossed that it works.

But I'm sure the writers are busy with things going on in their lives. Nothing wrong if a monthly theme goes unused, I'm sure.

@Cement If you end up not being able to cut the word count down, you can always enter into the for fun category.
