I've been reading it on my nook which is awesome because it's small and tight and tidy, and for some reason, when I read on the nook I have incredible immersion...
And really, I feel like I've been living in here! I love this world! I've also hardly read any of it... like only maybe up to Chapter 8, so I don't even know everyone yet or what a "Bound" means or all that, but I LOVE being plopped in the middle of this world and discovering what this is all about! It's so exciting to me--I feel like I'm 12 and reading Greek myths for the first time!
What are your experiences with this or any of the other stories of this week as you start finding yourself getting into this world?
Dragon Name: Hywicoes | House: Ravenclaw | Wand: Dogwood, Unicorn hair 11 ¼" , Suprisingly Swishy
Or here at the thread: Stories from the Fortress
I know! Same here. And I keep thinking of Tasha Yar!

Sims 4 Comic Legacy
Yeah, that's why we're doing it, because we're all to busy to forget what we're reading, what we haven't read, and what we want to read! So this way, if we at least read the week's list, we'll be reading some great stories!
Dragon Name: Hywicoes | House: Ravenclaw | Wand: Dogwood, Unicorn hair 11 ¼" , Suprisingly Swishy
Excellent story it's really doing well at building tension. I just want to get to the party so badly to see who Leyva chooses.
Oh, crum! You're on chapter 12 and she hasn't chosen yet? I'm just starting 9, and I was hoping she'd choose!
On the one hand, I want to binge read and read the whole thing at once... on the other hand, it's such a rich, immersive experience that I want to really take my time so that I can live in the world in between reading sessions!

You guys have surprises ahead!
How far are you, Miss Penguin?

I really love F.I.S.H.! Don't you think the setting is so great? It doesn't feel like the usual Willow Creek to me, for some reason. It feels like a different world.
Dragon Name: Hywicoes | House: Ravenclaw | Wand: Dogwood, Unicorn hair 11 ¼" , Suprisingly Swishy
Agreed. I play that house all the time but completely forgot that while reading this.
It'll probably range from three to five. And of course, read as many as you want! Rory is reading around 53 through Wordpress alone! It's just that the ones selected for the week will be the ones we'll be discussing that week.
And if someone wanted to only read the stories that we'd selected for that week, well then, that would give them a very good sampling of stories throughout the entire year!

Oh, if Ironbound were a role-playing video game, I would live there, for sure!
And Rory, you really caught up?
Which brings me to and important question...
How shall we handle spoilers?
My thinking is that readers will want to talk about all they've read, not worrying about spoilers... but how do the rest of you feel?

As for spoilers, I never thought about that. It was hard not to say anything spoiler wise about Ironbound and Freedom Family Legacy with the awesome @BabyDollAnne.

I say avoid spoilers just to be safe. There is nothing worse than having a good story spoiled for you.
Second, as far as spoilers, I would say that if you are going to talk about any big events plot-wise. Use the spoiler tool on the forum.
And before I go do a little bit of late night reading with one of these wonderful stories let me talk a little about the one that I have read.
I absolutely love the attention to detail that @RoryGilmore34 has in her screenshots. All of the characters are always so carefully placed. She's great at it. Also, I love the short chapters. She tells a great story in relatively few words. I'm always eagerly awaiting the next chapter as soon as I finish her latest.

Seconded in relation to the level of detail and short chapters in Legacies of the Sims! I think it's always easy to ramble on, which I'm prone to doing, but to be able to tell a story and get your meaning across with few words...that's not easy to do, and not often done.
Besides that, I love how much detail and backstory goes into each of her characters and locations! @Rorygilmore34 has a way of setting the stage so that you're immersed in the setting from the get go. Not to mention the interactive features for readers in her Feature Fridays! It's so fun to participate and to reread things, just looking out for tiny bits and pieces in the pictures!
