Also, there's a story that I make a valiant attempt at historical fiction:

A Story With No Title. (Yes, that's the title. The reason is explained in the first chapter.)

Thanks. With this BC I'm going for a black comedy which is something I've not done before so I'm happy people have been amused with it so far.

So glad.

I almost got off on a tangent with the last paragraph, but after the last sentence came to me I was like, "no, that's it. en punto."

So glad I found this thread, I just stumbled upon your story, and I love it. I'm dying to find out how Gabriella's vision is going to affect their lives. Looking forward to the next update.

I'm so glad you love it! I'm having a blast!

The next update we get to meet Gabby's sister, Caitlin, and the vision that Nate 'saw' as Gabriella was having it is shown as well.

Great Chapter. I love the premise of the story.

I hope Augustus doesn't cause problems. Its a little suspicious to me he just happened to turn up when this happened.

Vampire stories can really be fun to write. I'm having fun with mine and I hope you are with yours.

Augustus honestly did visit Nate because he was... bored. That's his main problem. Boredom. Well.. that WAS his main problem. Everyone else would've been better off if he'd just stayed bored. >.> <.<

Oh, that reminds me! I really liked the beach wedding in one of your slightly earlier updates! And then... mac and cheese for wedding day dinner. That's awesome. (Tho I am SO SICK AND TIRED of mac and cheese and salad for my sims to eat cuz I rarely bother to up their cooking skill hehe.)

Glad you liked my latest chapter!

Chapter five is done!



5: Puppies and Rainbows

(This title cracks me up!)

jbfairybird

Puppies and Rainbows indeed!

So she's going to meet Augustus? That can't be good...

Yes that was in my Ambrose Legacy. I'm glad it was enjoyed. I thought it suited Rita's personality to be married in a unique way.

I think I'm going to laugh for days every time I glance at that title.

Yeah, Nate (tho sometimes lately he's actually liked it) is really getting bugged by not being able to block Gabby, and he wonders if taking Gabby to Augustus will work. He also knows it's inevitable that they should meet, so it would be better to do so under his supervision.

I guess it's okay to say that already since I so obviously hinted at it.

Ohhh but wait 'til Augustus meets Gabby! Ever hear the expression "bite off more than you can chew"? hehe.

I hope that all makes sense. .. I need sleep lol.

Chapter six is done!



6: Gus

I enjoyed this one. I love Gab calling Augustus "Gus" so cute.

I agree with the theory of the virus. I've thought of it the same way since in this Sim Vamps eventually die naturally also. The alien virus is a pretty original idea though. lol.

I'm not going to get to deep into the origins of vampirism or anything in my vampire story so I haven't really put thought into where the original vampire would come from. I like your theory though.

Hmm. I dunno if I'm going to have mine die, obviously since Gus is over 2k years old.

I've been just DYING to write Gus sometimes instead of typing out the longer name. I don't know WHAT I was thinking making my characters' names so freakin long.

My grandmother thought viruses were aliens. Or is it my mom? Anyway, I got the idea from them about the viruses being aliens. (and when they told me I did imagine the little virus-sized spacecraft)

Glad you liked it.

I decided to disregard the dieing naturally because I think it makes more sense for the Bridgeport notes from EA on the Vampire factions of new vs old if the age difference was centuries vs. decades. I'm coming to the point in the story I'll be touching on this since I adopted it into my story.

I think it will also be fun to see the previous generation around as the generations progress so I'll be buying age freeze for all of my vampires.
