The Family Black: A Vampiric Sims Story (Updated, Announcement, 3/22/18)

«13
What happens when family life meets the supernatural. Can ideas like love and normalcy really exist when you are a creature of the night? Join vampire Rosea Black as she seeks to find out and gets caught between the life she wants and the vampire society she was born into. Life isn’t always all sunshine and rainbows, but it isn’t always shrouded in darkness either. Welcome to a tale of the light, the dark, and the Family Black.

Welcome to the home of The Family Black

Don't worry they don't bite. Oh wait... :P

As can likely be assumed this is the thread for my story. It is planned to focus at least initially around a vampire by the name of Rosea Black and potentially down the line her family lineage (honestly I haven't really though that far ahead I have enough ideas just with her for the moment. If you like vampires welcome, if you like a slightly odd sense of humor mainly involving snark welcome, if you like mildy sappy romance (or very sappy as friends have told me :P ) then welcome. You'll also find at least a mild dose of world building and lore and a side helping of some darker subject matter. I do try to lean away from being too morose and I'm leaning towards a lighter tone than a lot of vampire fiction but I am dealing with the blood drinking undead so you'll have to cut me a little slack in that department vampires aren't always the friendliest bunch and there will be a fair share of dark and mature moments that occur in the story (mature as in tone and events not as in nudity or swearing).

Also a heads up for vampire purists, I have very little knowledge of vampires beyond the core idea so I am going to make up some details about things like culture, attitudes, and the like as I go. I will try to stick to the general idea but at the same time it's more fun for me to have the freedom to do my own thing with them in the long run so please don't string me up if some decision I make contradicts classical depictions.

Aside from all that I hope you enjoy the characters and the story and if you have any thoughts or comments I'm always happy to hear them.

So again welcome to the home of The Family Black.

If you would like to read the story on my blog the link is right here or you can get there through my banner. Otherwise chapter linking and other tidbits can be found below.

Content Warning
Like I mentioned in my intro, this is a vampire story and while I am blending it with family drama it will have some content that may not be considered by some to be safe for children and which some may not care for. I would personally term it as PG-13 level but as opinions can vary I figured I would offer a warning none the less. This will include: violence, mature themes, and suggestive content. There will NOT be nudity or heavy swearing. There may on occasion be light swearing using minor curse words but nothing that should be overly problematic for those already accepting of the previously mentioned content. Primarily these would be words like H E double hockey sticks and the worse alternative of darn. (sorry I can't be clearer but otherwise you might think I was talking about a particular purple fruit :tongue: )

With Fire: “Con Fuoco means with fire. In music it refers to playing something with energy and vigor. A fitting description for a band like us. A bunch of people gathered together as they pursue their dreams with passion and determination. With fire you might say.”

Character Bios
Character bios can be found on my blog here though fair warning they currently list and will continue to be updated with characters that are introduced as the story progresses and while I strive to avoid spoilers in the bios and I have headings mentioning in what chapter the characters are introduced this is fair warning that some spoilers may occur as a side effect.

General Release Schedule
My basic release schedule is three chapters a week. The actual release schedule may vary and there may be more than three depending on what kind of pace I keep up with but the core goal is at least three chapters a week.

Behind the Blacks is a weekly segment where I will post an update talking about behind the scenes details and the writing process of the story or answer some reader questions if I have some submitted.
