    Hello everyone!

    I don't really have a good track record with reading circles on here (sorry drama llama xD ), but I figured I should try this again and be more honest with what I want. I was thinking this circle can be for new writers who are not really on a schedule and like to comment/discuss at their own pace.

    MEMBERS
    +@acarb90--- METRO
    +@simscognito---Friends of Foes
    +@bugsie2016--- People of The Light Tribe
    +@lillydoves---Bay Family Chronicles
    +@Valpre1983---The Wilds
    +@adamseve1231---Night Blooming Jasmine

    THEME OF THE CIRCLE
    • Non-legacy/challenge
    • Mature story lines
    • Lots of drama
    • New-ish stories (ten chapters or less)
    • Sims 4
    • Scripted/plot driven

    Here are my set of "rules" (subject to change as we establish ourselves)

    + Update stories at least bi-weekly
    + Discuss/comment on stories as updates occur
    + Weekly/bi-weekly discussions on favorite characters,writing methods,etc...


    So....anyone interested? :wink:

      @AdamsEve1231 @simscognito


      Sorry I didn't get back to you guys sooner! Nor'easter land over here :tongue:

      I'll be happy to add you! Just let me know if this still interests you :) I was thinking about maybe having everyone read at their own pace and then every Friday(or whatever day) we can discuss each story :)

      Oh cool. I love the sound of that schedule by the way. Fridays are my free days, and I tend to update around that time too. XD
      Yep I'm still interested, although I am aware my story, Friends of Foes, is seven chapters over the limit *heavy sigh*. (Currently seventeen chapters) :D
      But I am also happy to be a lurker. Always on the lookout for awesome stories. :)

      That's totally fine!

      I just put that as a random number, What I really wanted to avoid is having people with 40 chapters and others with only 3 lol.

      I think if you count my story in parts , I am at chapter 18 lol

      @Acarb90 Ah cool! Then I'd love to join. :) Although, is it okay if I update weekly? I don't update any more than that and my chapters are usually pretty short.

      Thanks @Acarb90 I started your story too. I love the rotational storytelling you do and your characters are great.
      I'm currently feeling really bad for Frankie. She's messed up so bad. Amara's a great friend though.

      It's good. I've actually done my writing for the term. I've written and screenshotted till chapter thirty. This is so I'm covered for uni. In the mid-semester break I'll write and screenshot some more. :) How's PTLT going?

      Alright. I'm about 1/3 done writing for next chapter. It's one of those I didn't prewrite in advance. :) Need to work on LL though as that's due out tomorrow.

      How is everyone else's going?

      Hi @LillyDoves nice to see you here. I've actually recently started the Bay Family Chronicles and am really enjoying it so far. :) I've only not commented because I usually comment when I'm closer to the latest post, but I am very excited to be able to discuss this story with you. XD
