@Lucy_Henley Aw, they are so cute! I love the wild hair on Clover. Hehee, they learn what sounds mean food real quick, don't they? I had a guinea pig years ago and I remember her getting all kinds of squeaky over the snacks bag, too.

_sims_Yimi

New chapter! Apologies if there's many typos remaining, we played D&D all weekend and my brain is soup. Take care everyone!

_sims_Yimi

Ha! Bet you didn't think I'd be back so soon! 😆

Ooh, lots of lovely screenshots! Not sure if I entirely understood this wordless chapter but maybe I should reread. Other readers will probably understand much more than me

@Lucy_Henley

Haha, it's meant as a bit of a time skip, with pictures of what everyone is up to during the month. Guinevere helping refugees, Arthur and Morgana doing court/war council things, Gawain getting a letter from Elyan, Lance playing chess, Guin learning things from Gaius and getting her own house. It felt better without text, so I left it out 😆 The last scene picks up at the end of the time skip, with Morgana leaving during the full moon and Gawain giving chase. Hope this helped!

Lucy_Henley

@_sims_Yimi

Ah, thank you! Some good facial expressions as usual. Awesome on Guinevere getting her own house. And lovely to see Gawain being all sweet with the horses again.

_sims_Yimi

@Lucy_Henley

I missed showing Gawain's face in my chapters! Didn't realise how much until I started screenshotting and he gave me these looks:

Lucy_Henley

@_sims_Yimi

That face just says “Ooh, you’re taking screenshots of me again! I hope nothing bad happens to me…” He looks both hopeful and wary. Hopefully nothing too bad happens to the lovely Cinnamon Roll…

Hi all! No chapter this time, it's been too busy with D&D and escape rooms and gathering lots of autumn acorns and chestnuts. I found a pine cone the size of my fist 🤩 The cats got a hold of it and now it's gone... somewhere.

I did make a summary of Arc 1 and Arc 2 over at wordpress. For new readers, it'll come in handy if you don't want to read... 99 chapters' worth of story (dear LORD I've written a bunch 😅). You can find it on the chapters page, too.

See you soon!

Lucy_Henley

Dang, 99 chapters is impressive! I've done about 52-54 across my three stories, depending on whether we're counting a prologue and a chapter which is just screenshots and doesn't add to the story.

_sims_Yimi

Hi, all! Holy cow, can you believe last post was the 100th post of Tales of Camelot? I certainly can't. I completely missed it myself! 😮 I'm debating on whether to do something fun to celebrate, make a Halloween special, or just work on the new chapter instead. Maybe I'll roll for it. We'll see what happens 🤭 In the meantime, here you go, and thank you for sticking with me on this long, long roller coaster of a story! 😁

Lucy_Henley

Woo, 100 chapters!
Even if you don’t do a whole Halloween special, you could do some screenshots of your characters dressed up. That could be quite funny. (Particularly if you make Aggro into Draggro again and he just looks supremely annoyed the whole time )

Sims4MagicalTales

Great update!

Haha,it's been ages since I've turned him into Draggro. Let's see if I still have that dress in my CC folder...

@Sims4MagicalTales Thank you!

Lucy_Henley

@_sims_Yimi Even if you can’t find the Draggro dress, I’m sure he’d look silly in any other outfit, which is the main point IMO

Oh, Gawain, poor cinnamon roll. He must be feeling so many different emotions right now.

GlacierSnow

Just dropping in to say, I've just started reading this series. I'm about half way through Arc 1 right now, and you have seriously got me hooked! (Already!) Now that I'm all caught up on the Miller Legacy, this is going to be my next simlit binge read.

_sims_Yimi

@GlacierSnow Hi Glacier 😁 Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself with my medieval cast, yay! It's quite the roller coaster to get caught up to where we are now. Please keep your arms and legs within the dragon cart and make sure to stay securely strapped in at all times, especially when things seems peaceful 😗🎢

GlacierSnow

It definitely already seems like it's going to be that kind of story. I'll remain seated until the dragon cart comes to a complete stop.

GlacierSnow

Dropping back in again. Wow, this story is good! I've read up through 2.7 "The Lady of the Lake" so far. I love the characters, the slowly building tensions of various sorts, the mystical aspects, and the fabulous screenshots. And I am extremely impressed with the broad scope of your storytelling skills. In the first arc, Arthur trying to bake a cake had me laughing so hard my ribs hurt, and then just a few chapters later Morgana learning what happened to the May babies sent chills up my spine. Not many writers manage to do both so well.

You've really got me hooked. I've stayed up way too late tonight, reading.

_sims_Yimi

@GlacierSnow Hehee, you're at an interesting part of the story then 😁 I hope you continue to have fun with it and thank you very much for the compliment! I've been writing since I was a kid, so I've tried all kinds of storytelling ways and genres. Some I am abysmally bad at and others come much more easily. I think Arthur trying to do commoner things has been my favourite one to write so far 😄

Lucy_Henley

@_sims_Yimi It’s a funny chapter, I just reread it! Poor Sarah has had to deal with people’s nonsense for years…

I can see more modern monarchies encouraging children to learn an instrument and maybe making them play it at fancy gatherings, in the name of being well-rounded and cultured etc. But the learning to become a bard thing makes sense, especially since I know you get some of your inspiration from Sims Medieval.

_sims_Yimi

@Lucy_Henley Haha, Sarah has been done with people's shenanigans for years and years. It's a miracle that she's still working there. 😆

I do get inspiration from Sims Medieval! It was a very fun game in its own way 😄 the way I'm seeing it (and I'm not an expert at all, so I might be dead wrong), they taught Morgana to be musical, but not Arthur, since between the two of them, she'd be more expected to entertain. Only to a certain degree, though.

Almost done with a new chapter, woo! The autumn months leading up to December are always incredibly busy. It's the good kind of busy, though 😙

_sims_Yimi

There we go! Finally finished it

_sims_Yimi

Hi, all! Next chapter is posted but I don't have access to the book at the moment. I'll upload that later.

In the meantime, here you go! *Edit: now with book

Great episodes, I can feel Morganas confusion.

I have always been a fan of stories and legends of Camelot, but those usually tell about the ending, its so interesting to read about the beginning.

And for some time, I have been wondering about who Uther reminds me about , today it hit me
