    I love this idea!!! I would like to commit to one returned letter (at least!) since I wouldn't want to leave you waiting for a response. (You know me :P)

    My character's story is going to be a little different as I've set up the scenario that one neighborhood in Oasis Springs will house five babies (the lower right hand one with five houses). I have the "chosen ones", an alien mother, and the five all created but I need to tweak them a bit. I did some pre-shots to set it up but since I was dog sitting this weekend til today I haven't had free time (he's a booger!) Now I'm excited! :smiley:

    Ahaahaha, I was going to let those other four families be autonomous and see what happens. >:) Yes, I'll let you know when I have more than an intro set up. I have a better idea of what I need to do now. :smiley:

    I tried playing some today since Rocket is so much younger than Septemus. It was a total debacle! There's something going on and I can't figure out how to fix it. I'm afraid it's linked to the house I'm using somehow. Anyway, I only got through one day before I gave up after restarting several times! I did add a little of Brian trying to find info online and trying to call to get contact for other families. Meh, I'm so mad.

    Oh no! I hope it gets fixed ! You could always have them move as part of the story .

    And no rush ! I've got three other projects wanting me to catch up a there's plenty of time for developments !

    I'll start a group PM later with everyone participating so we can scheme !

    @CathyTea I'm in! Sounds like a really great idea! @Rainydayz179 we should collab for this, too. I think Brian and Elliott might get along really well!

    Awesome, sounds like fun. I have to figure out what's wrong with Brian's house. Sims keep walking in and not leaving. :#

    I couldn't resist Pinstar's new Alien Adoption Challenge! Here's the first chapter:

    Septemus 1

    @CathyTea I commented on your post but AHH I think I'm going to have to do this challenge, lol!

    I was thinking of you, @ra3rei , @Rainydayz179 , and @eXokamikaze when I was playing it! I think you all will LOVE it! It's too, too, too adorable! :)

    You have us pegged! :lol: I think I'll play this tonight! :smiley:

    ...I'm resisting. barely. The only thing that's saving me is my computer isn't hooked up to the internet yet and I haven't written all month. But I've been thinking about it since I saw it. It's only a matter of time.

    Ah darn - that sounds like such a fun collaboration.

    Would it make sense if not all 99 babies were "released" at the same time? So some might just be infants when others are older? Then again it's the fourth of july weekend here and maybe I'll cheat and start this up anyway so I wouldn't be tooooo far behind ya'll.

    awww! another excellent collab idea B) . I would have considered joining but because of the way my story is set up. My caregiver would never receive any letters. :'(

    Yes! We're thinking about that--not all babies released at same time.

    We're also thinking about the babies being different species, so different rates of development/talents/etc.

    And we do have some just starting out... so it's not too late! :)

    Well, maybe we can figure out something? One of the participants' Sim is a super sleuth-hacker, so if you wanted a minimal way of participating (like even just a mention) I'm sure we can do something! :)

    Where's your link to your blob, @Charliimai ? I want to follow! :)

    It's on the same site as my penpal project letters here's the link: Sapphire and Amber
    My caregiver is in hiding from the government so i'm not sure how easy she'll be to track down. I would take part if we could find a way around it.

    I haven't played since making the kid so you wouldn't be behind. :naughty:

    Got a brand new story I'm writing in between everything else I'm writing! :)

    This one is for all you Margaret Fuller fans out there, and it's inspired by @mastressalita 's Photo Friday #26, in which she quotes Margaret Fuller, reminding me of how much I love this writer and role model.

    Here's the first chapter: Reading Margaret: In Dismal Nooks

    @CathyTea - oh that sounds great! Leia needs parenting help! lol

    Here's my newest Septemus chapter! Septemus 6

    Collab folks: It's looking like I might want to get out maybe six short chapters before I get the first replies? And I think I'll have the letters ready for your Sims to receive as early as a few days from now... And it makes sense that the letters might take circuitous routes to finding everyone, and even then, we'll probably need special things
    like some participants' special hacking abilities

    to reach everybody!

    Also, I think I'll make us a collab thread for this! That way, we can share our links to our stories in a central place and also do planning and so on...

    @CathyTea - I would like to have all the Alien Adoption families in my neighborhood. I think that would be cool that they could interact in-game What do you think of this? If we could get a list of the participants and their simmies link, I would love to add them to my world.

    @CathyTea - Wow! This all sounds great! I will have to upload Leia and Oriana in the gallery so if anyone wants to use them, feel free. Leia is ready to search those parent forums...so maybe she will meet some of the parents there, who are also looking for help and advice.
