A Novel Idea Reading Circle (Restarted) «1234567…59...Next Go

Marialein

Welcome and Hi!

Welcome to our little or maybe not so little reading circle. Lurkers are always welcome. Especially if their names are mentioned Since more members than we like of our old circle got inactive we decided to make a second one with new members and a new thread keeper which is obviously me. Maria.

A few things at the beginning. In the case we get a male member, we are a bunch of swooning girls in here. We even have a calendar with hunks of the month. No, seriously. We have that. Just keep scrolling down.

Rules:

1)
1 story which should be read by the others. You can decide which one. If you can't decide take the one the most of the circle members are already reading and caught up or close to be.

2)
You can post updates of every story there.

3)
We can ask each other every question about the stories of the others or ours or every silly stuff we like to. If you have a question which is very important for you, ask it on Fridays because it most likely will be answered at the weekend. During the week it might get lost.

4)
Post bloopers, outtakes, buildings or just pictures of gorgeous sims. That is always a good thing.

5)
Feel free to share links for good CC or poses. I am always in the need for that.

6)
Never say something against a man called Tony or @Maladi777 will send him after you.

I think so. How many new members should we welcome?

Maladi777

I'm loving the rules, especially #6.

Marialein

@Maladi777 I think that rule needs to be in every reading circle

Marialein

@mypalsim1 Hi, @Maladi777 suggested you to join this circle. We would like to have you in here, if you want to.

swcheppes

In lieu of my story's most recent update I'd like to nominate Sebastian Blanc for the calendar.

Maladi777

Can we name our circle Novel Idea Reading Circle (Restarted) or something like that to get rid of the long placeholder name until we find a better one?

Done.

@swcheppes sure we can but how did you dare to do that to poor Sebastian

Marialein

And to start with something I have a blooper of my amazons.

Please Luna be careful with that sword!



What did I tell you?

Oh and after finishing the build (still no furniture) of my amazons I needed a pause and made a sim.

Anyone in the need of a handsome dangerous, thief / hacker?



No? Great, now he is angry at me. I made him without a place for him in a story.

Maladi777

@Marialein Ouch. Poor Luna. She needs an instructor...

CitizenErased14

*whispers* A new thread to lurk in! Glad you guys made a new one *backs away*

Now that's bad boy I want to save!

Sterretjeee

I'm totally pro making Sebastian calendar guy of the month, the poor guys deserves it! @swcheppes

@Marialein Luna's been swinging swords around lately! She got to watch out for her pretty face, though

Right? Right?

Who have wondered how Evina's childhood have looked like? Here is a chapter with that.

Chapter 7 - 15 years ago

Maladi777

I just read this on a Humans of Prague page and thought I should share it, because it amused me. So next time you feel I'm being too harsh with my comments of your work, you know I'm merely being honest with you guys and wish only to help you improve.

""I have been in Prague for seven months but I plan to stay here forever. Because I really like it here. I can see that the local people are quite cautious of foreigners, especially when they don't speak Czech, but I never once felt like I didn't belong here. I know that I just have to win people's trust. And I really like the level of honesty of people. In Holland, where I am from, you go to a supermarket and everyone is smiling at you. You are their customer so they have to smile, they know that. They're being told by their bosses: Doesn't matter how you feel, you have to be friendly! But you can see it's all fake. It's different here, people are being themselves. If they have a bad day, you can tell. You go to buy groceries and it's: Here is your food, 🐸🐸🐸🐸 off, go home! I like that."

Maladi777

It's official, guys... Tony extorted more attention for himself.

Marialein

@Maladi777 for a man in the shadow he seems to attract a lot of attention

Sterretjeee

@Maladi777 I wonder where in Holland that person lives! Never a friendly face in my supermarket
I do think honesty is key, though. Keep doing what you're doing

Also, I know where I'll be hanging out next Sunday!

Maladi777

Today's blooper.

Chris: "No one understands me. Everybody hates me!"
Raven: (Can't he tell it to someone else? A therapist perhaps?)

Marialein

@Maladi777 I guess Raven had hoped for less speaking

swcheppes

Its such a rainy day in real life, it got me missing seasons in the sims

Which weather/season would you most want to use in your stories of you were able to?

I think rain would be an awesome tool to use in story telling. I can picture a dozens scenes in my head!

Marialein

@swcheppes I think mine would be rain as well. Especially sine it is kinda raining every third day here in Salzburg or at least it is very often cloudy. Also summer thunder storms are here very often. It just has something
