    Question: Do you ever just read your own chapter without looking to edit or proof-read it?

    I do! I did that last night! I reread some short Sim stories I'd written a few years ago, and I had forgotten nearly all of the words, so reading it felt very fresh and new! I couldn't help but notice a few typos... but I resisted the urge to go in and fix them.

    How about you, Cog, do you do that?

    @CathyTea yayy another ts3 story! They have a special place in my heart, since they were the first simLits I read. :blush: Yes I do do that. I often read my old stories dating back to when I was five (they're not simLits). I don't correct all the grammar errors in them either, because I see the mistakes as showing how far I've come in the writing process - although, the early mistakes from when I was five are rather cute,I think. :D I've showed @Bugsie2016 one of them. XD

    It wasn't too bad. Didn't make much sense but it wasn't too bad. (Now I need to get back to writing PTLT. I won't finish the rest of the chapters for this year if I keep getting distracted.)

    Yes, give me more PTLT @Bugsie2016 ! :D Wait, I forgot to be patient! o:)

    Fine.

    Also, side note: I finally got that kid's tv show theme song out of my head. (It was on the tv earlier because my niece is here for the weekend.)

    I wish I could find a pose I haven't actually used but I know it's somewhere in the mess of the Lanna's blog. All I remember is it had to do with a lantern.

    I need to translate everything to English first which also mean that I always had to proof-read my story before it's out. I'm pretty sure no one would understand me if I don't hehe.
    I also write non sims stuff on Wattpad

    @Bugsie2016 yeah. But all I remember is that it had do with a lantern and sort of looked like a walking "Mob" scene from Beauty&the Beast. I was working on my "Look What You Made Me Do" interlude when I discovered the pose but at the time I didn't need it.

    Hmm, it's hard to look for new story to read nowadays that STORIES AND LEGACIES INDEX GATEWAY is no longer active. Totally took that service for granted. Just realized what's missing in the forum.

    I like reading stories from active users, so I've built my reading list from the lounge itself or from this forum's front page. When I see the same title after a few days, I'll check it out to see if it sounds interesting to me!

    Question: what is the cutest screenshot you have?

    oh dont make me choose

    I guess right now it's a tie between this one:
    screenshot-34-2.jpg?w=676

    and this one (a.k.a my current icon, and an unedited version of what I used for the short story it was for):

    @AkramA Is it inactive? I just figured @mastressalita was busy with the holidays going on/start of the year. She never made any announcement about stopping as far as I'm aware and she seems to me like the type who wouldn't just stop without a word.

    I don't know, most users are too shy to come to this lounge so I like to get more choice on what I'm able to write. Having an index was really great especially all the announcement post and all.

    I think it's inactive since no updates from the thread and the blog, I just got here and also just realize that I don't get notification from the thread anymore. Hopefully, it'll come back.

    I have a question-how would Jane explain to HAM that she drunkenly had woohoo with one of their enemies via phone when she's still at the enemy's place?

    Here's a weird coincidence.. a junk shirt I got for Christmas is related to something I experienced as a 7 year old child. Walt Disney World's 25th Anniversary and since the celebrations were from 1996-1998 it means my family was there during the celebrations and stuff like my shirt would have been sold there.
