This theme’s inspired by one of my favorite songs, 525,600 Minutes from the musical Rent. Your story should be titled “Seasons of ___”, with the blank filled in with whatever you choose. Of course, this challenge doesn’t require the use of any expansion packs or mods that allow you to have seasons in your game—you could show time progression by having your characters get older, or however else you choose.
Special Rules: Surprise! This month, you can use 500-2000 words and 1-15 screenshots.

Here's my submission for February's prompt, Seasons of You and I. You can find it over on my main blog It features Boris and Cicely, two berry sims from my rainbowcy, so that's why they don't look normal/correct sims lol. Thank you
Hi.. I decided to challenge myself and submit a story this month. It was harder that I expected I kept coming up short so had to keep re-wording until I had enough and I just about managed to hit the 500 word mark.
Just a reminder that you've got a little less than two hours left to submit entries. I'll get March's theme posted tomorrow morning.
While this would usually be my queue to scramble to put together a story, I'm going to sit out this month. I have not actually seen Rent and I thought about the theme for a while but nothing jumped up at me.
This month, choose a color and base some aspect of your story. You could bring out this color by having a sim wear it, decorating your sim’s surroundings with it, or editing your pictures in a way that brings this color out. Or, you could leave the color you chose a surprise until the end!
Special Rules: No special rules this month. The normal 500-1,000 word and 1-12 picture limits still apply.

Oh my goodness, I'm very excited for this theme! I'm sorry I've been so absent, I had no inspiration for Jan and Feb's themes - but I've been creeping around on everyone's stories

I came up with an idea for January in February, then couldn't come up with one for February. But I've a story underway now, which I was afraid wouldn't be long enough. I'm going to have to see if I can recreate a screenshot because I didn't read about the new theme until after the scene happened.
@TresaofPern I'm so sorry I didn't see your story earlier!! I'll make sure it gets added onto the entry list. Also, your story link appears to not be working. This should be the correct one: Pierce Delgato's Love
For anyone doing a last-minute submission, you have about an hour left to submit.
And here I was thinking you were taking a break from the contest. Odd, I tested that link. Maybe I should have used a different device But thanks, @Pegasus143
Aladdin has been on my mind for a short bit. In light of the movie, how about a story that will challenge perspective?

Voting Is CLOSED
There will not be a vote this month. @TresaofPern has won by default. Congratulations!
Also, I may sound like a massive dolt by asking this, but: what would you define 'challenging perspective'? (I ask because I don't want to get it wrong should I decide to put in an entry this month)
