I've made this thread to organize and share my stories in one convenient place for all of my lovely readers, as well as be more social with you all! Feel free to ask me questions, give me feedback, and all of that friendly stuff here.
Sims and Such: A Simself Legacy
Founded by my Simself, this legacy documents her and her progeny's lives following Pinstar's legacy challenge rules. It's the first legacy I've attempted (and stuck with past generation 2), and I'm currently on generation 7.
This is my main story.
***
The Royale Legacy
This was is an attempt at the Disney Princess 10 Gen Challenge, finished at the beginning of generation 4. Follow Snow Royale and her seven children, Lucinda with her nontraditional antics, Tiana with her unrelenting ambition, and the baby of the family, little Annora, in this light-hearted tale.
I won't be updating this story anymore.
***
Building Newcrest and Such
As the name hints, this was an attempt at the # BuildNewcrest Challenge. Yusun of the tribe Crest of Wave has shipwrecked on the shores of Magnolia Promenade, and makes her way to a completely empty town where she determines to begin her own successful, long-lived tribe. The town is honorably named "Newcrest" when the second generation heir takes it as the family name, dubbing himself mayor. This story is ends at the beginning of generation three, with the generation three children move out on their own and start their own lives.
I won't be updating this story anymore.
***
Rebuilding Worlds -- A TS4 Rotation
This story began as a little genetics challenge, and turned into a full-blown rotational story beginning with five founding families and later expanding to eight. The point of this rotation was to explore the genetics of the game while rebuilding and repopulating the worlds using the guidelines of this challenge: Rebuilding Worlds.
I've narrowed this story's focus to one family and continued it on tumblr.
***
My Simblr
I post a multitude of things to this blog, but the main story is my Rebuilding Worlds challenge continued, focusing on the Flynn family. Follow along as their lives and Willow Creek continue to grow after Hurricane Mortimer.
This is my second main story.
If you're a reader of my stories, thank you! Your likes and comments are always loved.

In this chapter, see how Bliss is fairing in life and love with her newfound autonomy.
Do you also play The Elder Scrolls Online? You can find me there as CathyTea, too!
So interesting with the bit about the childhood friend not being her choice. And he's a bit of a stalker, it seems!

We can definitely link it! Do you want me to link it under Bliss' page, or would it be better under a different section?
Wherever you feel it best fits--how about Stories of Victory? It's pretty inspiring--after all, choosing the Bro over the good-looking genius childhood friend...
Re. the stalkering... In Goofy Love, you know how there are always these guys hanging around in nearly every shot? Parties, hanging out, and so on? Those are all the childhood friends or the ranger we moved in for potential spouse material--even your Townie that I downloaded! They drop by every single day! You can never lose those childhood friends!

In this chapter, Bliss shares her views on her parents choice to age up rather than drink from the white cup.

Leland and Winona are closer than ever, Nikolas is growing up (but not too quickly), and a new addition to the family is on the way!

@ThePlumbob Just skip the SGAS madness! You can always come back to it later when you've got days (and I mean days) to dedicate to it. xD
A new baby, birthdays all around, and a budding romance!
Generation 6; Chapter 7
First post was published December 26, 2014. It was originally entitled "An Introduction" (still has the slug lol) and later changed to "Generation 1; Chapter 1." It currently has the most comments (21).
All-time: 112 posts; 11,000+ views; 1000+ visitors -- Can we just take a second for how HUGE and AMAZING the SimLit community is?!
Total (awesome) Followers: 45; First Follower: @CathyTea, Newest (almost wrote 'Newcrest,' ohgawd) Follower: @JoieWilder
Total (wonderful) Comments: 565; Top 5 Commenters: Me (163), @CathyTea (109), @ThePlumbob (56), @aroseinbloom (43), @ShannonSimsFan (24)
These stats seriously blow me away. I just wanted to give a HUGE thank you to my amazing readers and fellow writers for all of your support, encouragement, and love. You're all so amazing; I couldn't ask for a better Simming community.
We should have another category: how many times reference is made of a) your Simming and Simming discoveries, b) your amazing Sims, and c) your incredible storytelling here on the forums.
I'm always saying, "Oh, and @JordanNicoleJJ has discovered this..." and "Oh! Did you know that @JordanNicoleJJ 's also doing that type of challenge?" and "Oh! @JordanNicoleJJ just noticed that..."
When you're awesome, you're noticed!
Do you also play The Elder Scrolls Online? You can find me there as CathyTea, too!
*wiltyflowers* But thanks.
I was mostly just shocked by how many SimLit readers there really are -- I didn't think Sims storytelling was that big of a thing! I figured I had maybe 100-200 visitors pass through this year, as that's about how many (I think) I've seen in the lounge/story-telling thread/etc. But wow. 1000. That's incredible!
I've been loving your simself legacy, so happy you've posted more updates for it yesterday! (Haven't fully caught up yet because I dread the day I won't be able to read multiple updates on it in a row haha) Each of the heirs is SO different and has such a strong personality.

From your responses to my last post, I’ve decided I want my 6th couple to come from you guys — my friends, the Simming community!
For those of you who are not familiar with this challenge, the rules are as follows:
Your entry should include their photo(s), traits, aspirations, and a bit about their backstory (how did they survive the storm, how did they meet, what their relationship is like, etc.). Please include what career you’d like them to have, if any, unless it is obvious from their aspiration. You may also include any “goals” you have for them (open a business, travel to Sixam, take regular family vacations to Granite Falls, ect.).
Your lovely Sims will be living in this home upon their move to Willow Creek, so you may want to keep that in mind whilst creating them:
Build Tour
Post your entries below, send me a PM, or make a post on your own blog and link it below or to the comments section of this blog post. The current “deadline” is October 12th, but let me know if you need more time. I can’t wait to see your Sims!
