@Spottydog714 Who is your favourite character to write? Is he/she also the easiest one?
@CharmingMaruska Romeo is my favourite to write, but he is the hardest. I never thought I'd actually put the teenage-boy humour I picked up at secondary school to good use, but now I make mental notes of what they say so I can write Romeo's dialogue. Wayne is the easiest.
@Spottydog714 this was incredibly insightful - thanks for the answers I feel like I know you and your main character a bit more. It's will be so wonderful to see your evolution as a person and as an author as you continue this journey.
I don't believe we have heard too much about Amara's parents. Can you give us a bit more background and context regarding them and Amara's upbringing?
Amara's parents are not particularly relevant to the story, but her little sister is. Amara went into drama, Shakespeare, so I would imagine Amara was brought up in a middle class family who value education - she is the sort who would have watched shows like 'Have I Got News For You,' a British panel show where five celebrities poke fun about what has been in the news recently, if you don't know it, and given plenty of opportunities to see the world.
What do they do?
Her mother is a business woman and her dad is stay-at-home. He was a historian.
What is their relationship like?
Fantastic - they are a proper family.
How do they feel about Amara being a part of this challenge?
I would imagine her mother doesn't think it will work and that it will end badly, but her dad is sure she'll find her husband, but they do support Amara either way.
If they are supportive, who from the cast are they rooting for?
Seth. They don't approve of her flirting with Romeo or Romeo at all, for that matter. And Wayne is terrible.

So when you are trying to avoid FB by playing your game and you accidentally set POTUS on fire .. he did not die .. Violet saved him! Stupid fireplaces I wanted ambiance for my shot.

OMG!! I love this 'get to know AMARA' bit!! OK two more question I promise last ones...
Does she have siblings?
When we collaborated we talked about her voice, what it sounded like, fluctuations etc. would you mind sharing with the rest of the group what you told me? I think it is cool to be able to truly envision a character the way the author created them to be inside and out. most authors don't have that luxury. They have to rely on their words to project these things into someones imagination which can be half parts exciting and half parts scary hehe.
I really enjoy your Bachelorette @Spottydog714 . It is really nice to let the creators of the sims work for their sucseed. Though I have to say that the last one just was nothing I could solve
As for your writing style I like it how much it remembers me of an actual tv show. It really fits then with the 3rd person. As for the dates the more personal touch makes it more personal. I am sometimes struggling with how fast this all happens but I guess this is just cause I know that it is sooner over than I might want to. However I really enjoy seeing Seth in there. Do you want a little spoiler about him? Yes?
I created Seth not especially for your Bachelorette. I had him already but as a slave for my amazons. It was for a tribe called Leopard tribe. His name had been Lynx Cat of pray. You will see him in my amazons as well cause the Leopard tribe is the basic for the tribe Luna is visiting right now
@Spottydog714 I have some questions for you and your featured story this week!!
Firstly, know that I adore your talent and creativity. Your stories brighten up my day and make me all warm and fuzzy on the inside. Enough gushing here are my questions for you as a writer and your bachelor story.
Aww, thank you @VIRTUALEE I could say the same of yours.
Writing Related 1. What has been the most challenging for you as a simlit author?
Taking the screenshots first and then writing about them. In Episode 1, it was hard for me to write believable dialogue and not get it to feel stilted. But I'm learning, and it's getting easier.
Have you ever tried it the opposite way, writing out the story then screenshoting?
Did you always know that you were going to ask other people to submit applicants for your story? How much do you think your story would have changed had you created all the characters.
By the way I love that you used sims created by other simmers! I always love when people have casting calls, so to speak.

Thanking @Jellysimwich once again, your poses are sooo fun to work with! Imma check out that tutorial when I got time
@Spottydog714 Loved getting to know more about Amara! Do you prefer this kind of story telling (contest-driven) over story-driven like fifteen?
And do you have any more questions for us?

@VIRTUALEE She does have siblings - a little sister and an older brother. As for her voice - it's very deep for a girl, ever-so-slightly 🐸🐸🐸🐸.kney, and she drops her ts a bit if they are at the end of a syllable.

@Marialein I'm sure you mentioned this once but I'm happy we'll see him soon. So excited! And hehehe I underestimated how hard it would be. And thank you, I'm glad it's believable, that makes me very happy.

@swcheppes Yep, I always knew. If I'd created them, they would be more extreme in their differences and views, because t makes them easier t wrote. And thanks!
Yes, I have. It's my main method, The Bachelorette is unusual. Looking For Mum's Murderer and Fifteen and all my short stories are plot-driven. I think that's because I consider myself a writer first, then a simmer.
@Spottydog714 Loved getting to know more about Amara! Do you prefer this kind of story telling (contest-driven) over story-driven like fifteen?

@Sterretjeee Thank you! And no, plot-driven all the way. It's much easier And I'll think some more up

@VIRTUALEE Remember when you made us go into CAS and make awesome interpretations of two characters? I'm so curious what you're going to do with them!
Aaahhh yes, I am hoarding them because my story plot is INCREDIBLE (sory for the lack of humility) but the story arcs have many holes in them - I am ironing out the kinks before launch...I hope to do a little trailer soon to get your juices flowing - but may have to pull some of you in (if interested) to maybe do some brainstorming and help me fix some of the story line issues I am facing.
Also, I would like to finish CBP before I do another major story which this is turning out to be.
So, if you guys are willing to help me out and want some spoilers and credit at helping develop this next thing then hit me up - I would be so honored...
I have never asked for help before so I am a little embarrassed but so excited for it.

@VIRTUALEE Oh, don't care about you bragging. I feel like all your stories are incredible!
Very, very willing to help. Very, very much wouldn't care for spoilers. I need more! And I absolutely love brainstorming for stories!
@VIRTUALEE Oh, I'm so glad @Sterretjeee asked about your story, because I was itching to ask again too. And if you say it's incredible, I'm sure it's an understatement. My brain is at your service anytime.
