I had a lovely evening drinking rooibos chai and reading all the September stories. Congrats to the winners and thanks so much to everyone that contributes stories!
A for fun entry for this months challenge (because I massively missed on the word count limit ) It's a side story based off my "The Family Black" story featuring a couple characters before the events of the main story. I hope everyone enjoys it
Hello Pegasus143! I have an entry for October's Short Story theme, entitled "There's Something in the Basement!" I am not sure where to submit it. I was unable to post the link on the short story challenge page. It's my first time entering one of these short story challenges. It was fun, but very challenging limiting my words. Word Count is 997. Thank you. :)
@FREIDAPEARL Hi! Because you still have the rank of "new member", you aren't able to post links properly on the forums, so to submit just paste the link into a post on this thread and get rid of the http:// part at the beginning, and also give the name of your story. I'll be able to put your link together properly on the entry list
Thank you Pegasus143 and SilentWolf101! The name of my story is There's Something in the Basement, word count is 997, 12 screenshots, and here is the url body janetmancini.wixsite.com/simscape/single-post/Something-In-The-Basement
Thank you for adding my entry! :smile: I'm not sure it worked though cause it just links back to the top of this thread when I click the link for the story. Did I somehow mess it up? Thanks.
Posting November's theme tonight since I won't be able to get on right away tomorrow morning... November’s Theme: Fear Will Be Thy Enemy
Surprisingly, this isn’t a famous quote and I just made it up off the top of my head. Anyways… go forth and be brave!
Special Rules: No special rules this month. The usual 500-1000 word and 1-12 screenshot limits still apply.

Hello everyone!
Sorry for not coming here so long.
You maybe know that I started moving my story "Goldilocks and Bears" on YouTube (long ago). It's really hard. It takes lots of time - I make two versions: in English and in Russian (my mother tongue). And after lots of efforts the videos are hardly watched. Sure! I started the story 2.5 years ago on the forums. Then I had to move it to WordPress (because of problems with pictures). Then I had to start moving it on YouTube (because of the same problems). Who will watch an old story with poor screenshots for the 100th time? That's really dissappointing. But I want to continue the story, so I have to retell the beginning first. Every day I tell myself: "You must continue the story!" And every time I'm finding excuses for not doing that.
No. I'm not complaining. I'm just trying to explain why I haven't come here for ages. I love you all! I haven't forgotten or neglected you. I have been thinking of you all the time. (In Russia, there's a funny superstition. When you hiccup, you say: "Hiccup! Someone must be thinking of me. Hiccup!" So, according to this superstition, you should have been hiccupping all the time. LOL)
So, yes I do remember you. But for me the word "story" is associated with my unhappy neglected Bears and thus makes me feel upset. And I escape from this word into other activities, which I also love: playing The Sims, building, making videos on YouTube...
But I will return! I promise!
And now I'd like to share one of my latest videos (which I'm really proud of) with you.
So,
@chealsycat Glad to know that you're doing ok. I can see how that would be frustrating, moving your story around all the time. Definitely share the link to your YouTube channel in the lounge (if you haven't yet)-- there's been a ton of new people there lately, so some of them would probably check out your story.
I'm glad you've been thinking of us, and remember that we'll still be here when you're ready to read or participate
