@SimFanAlena : If you enjoy a story, you can use the Monthly Shoutouts thread to give a story a shoutout! I collect all the shoutouts made during the month and they are featured here in the Monthly Shoutouts section the following month!
Also, if you read the FAQs here, I have no problem with New Members submitting their stories. Check that section out as it addresses that very issue!
The Monthly Updates section has been updated. I've been manually checking for updates for several pages, so just a reminder as the index gets bigger, it really helps me out if you post your update information to either the Sims and Friends: Share Your Stories!! thread, the Writer's Hangout thread, or the Legacy Directory (for those that have stories which are also members of the Legacy Directory). It really helps me out when you do so since I monitor those threads and then I don't have to go hunting for update information, and as the Index gets bigger, I will likely stop doing so altogether, so if you want your updates featured in the Monthly Updates roll, make sure you are using one of those threads to plug them!
Also, recently a lot of the folks who I sent invitations to to add their sites to the index apparently have opted out, since they have been quite active on the forums but never stopped by the thread to do so. Disheartening, but I won't push anyone past the one PM making them aware of the thread. If you have a friend with a story site, it would help out if you could make them aware of this index and kindly ask them to add their link so we can continue to grow! Thanks!
I actually did use to post in the Sims and Friends! Share your Stories thread. But that was a long time ago, and it was for a different story.
I've been meaning to start posting again in the appropriate threads, but I keep forgetting to do so. (And I also don't know if I could just randomly jump in again after so long.)

From what I've seen the Sims and Friends: Share Your Stories!! thread is a friendly place where everyone is accepted and encouraged to post their story update news. No need to read all 700+ pages or to even have to start posting updates from the story beginning; you can jump in at any time. ^_^

@SilentWolf101 : Though I add update threads to the information in the Index, I do not subscribe to individual update threads (for my own sanity). I only bookmark the Sims and Friends: Share Your Stories!! thread, the Writer's Hangout thread, and the Legacy Directory thread to monitor update news. If you want me to catch news on updates for non-legacy stories (neither of my own stories are legacies or challenges either!), you can always post your updates do either the Sims and Friends: Share Your Stories!! thread or the Writer's Hangout thread. It doesn't matter what the content of the story, these threads openly accept authors to share their works and post about their new chapter updates.

Thanks @thesealofthesims, I updated the Index and added the link as another featured story to your previous entry. The Monthly Updates section has also been updated!
Oh, really? I thought they were only legacy based. Thank you, I'll definitely move over there. One sec, I'll edit the post...
Nope, any type of story can be posted in those threads.
Sims and Friends has more talking between posters with just text links mostly, though some use pictures and text. Writers' Hangout seems to be more of a drop and run with a picture being what is used to link to the update.
I'll add my stories when I can figure out when I can work past whatever block I've got that's keeping me from updating them, I've got 6 current stories with a 7th that's just started (2 Sims 2, 4 Sims 3, 1 Sims 4).
@mastressalita What a wonderful thread! Just a few months intensly simming sims 4 again after the sims 2 and never even knew bout the stories and legacies before. So much gameplay to look forward to and definitely alot of reading up to do... and you make it so easy to oversee! Thank you.
Even thinking of starting my own. But it'll be a while before i can post here, i pressume. Only a prologue in te making atm. Reading up on all the wonderful sims 4 stories first... laters
Thanks @Twiggy ! AllSims-related stories are welcome here, be they Sims, Sims 2, Sims 3, Sims 4, or some spin-off like Sims Mideval, and any format is also welcome, as long as it uses a Sims game to tell a story (text-only fanfiction, screen-caps with captions, story-heavy video Let's Play, legacy/challenge/game show stories, or something completely original!)
It is admittedly more difficult for me to get Sims 4 submissions since these forums have given that game their own dedicated stories and legacies forum. I posted an ad for this thread over there, but as I've found is typical, it brought in absolutely no one. It's pretty rare when someone submits their site of their own accord -- usually I have to find someone with a story site and send them a PM asking if they'd like to submit their link to this index, and even then I'd say I only get about a 50% turnout of the people I PM actually submitting their links. So if you'd like to help out, I guess if you find a great Sims 4 story, spread the word to the author and see if you can't get them to add their link to this Index, because I'd love to have them! (I'm still hoping to get more Sims 2 and, perhaps one day, even a The Sims story in the Index! I have hope!) Because everyone is more than welcome here!
And by all means, if you have a story you would like to submit, feel free to do so at any time. ^_^
