    @CitizenErased14

    Hey, if you do start one, let me know! I started your story a while ago (on gen 3) and have been reading it for almost a month. It would take me a while to catch ALL the way up, but most of your chapters are easy reads so far and I have no qualms with legacies with tons of chapters that are well written. :]

    @CitizenErased14 If it's any way encouraging for you, I binge read your ambrosia story an long time ago in one sitting, and kept up with A2A since Mari was born. I'm actually stepping outside of the sneaky shadows to say this since someone mentioned your readers who comment :joy: I don't really comment much on blogs since I usually forget to log in or I think I comment/reply when I don't. (I'm just a bit clumsy, really)
    Your chapters are fairly short and fun to read, so I don't think you should feel any way unnerved about the amount of chapters you have! I'm sure you'll find a circle that'll fit your style, but if you make a circle, I'm willing to join it too. :)

    You can also, count me in, @CitizenErased14 ! I'm pretty much atualized with your story, and even though I'm in one reading circle, why not try two? And the discussion part seems like a very fun idea!

    Thank you guys so much @Sourocha and @Cement ! :) I'm gonna send a PM to the people who have expressed interest before we 100% officially form a circle. But this is exciting :smiley:

    @CitizenErased14 - I am also very interested. The type of discussion you mention is what I would love. However, I am far from a seasoned writer so may be a little too inexperienced for you. And I don't like Stefan so I know that's a strike against me already. Lol.

    Haha @AudreyFld you're funny! No experience necessary for the circle! And I'll let the Stefan thing slide ;)

    I will PM you! As long as the other people don't mind another joining You can totally be in :)

    I'm gonna probably cut it off there though before it gets out of hand haha. I'll message you a bit later :blush:

    More members than we like of our old circle (a novel idea) got inactive so we decided to make a second one with our old members and new members and a new thread keeper which is obviously me. Maria.

    Here is the new thread

    A novel idea (restarted)

    A few things at the beginning. In the case we get a male member, we are a bunch of swooning girls in here. We even have a calendar with hunks of the month. No, seriously. We have that.

    Rules:

    1)
    1 story which should be read by the others. You can decide which one. If you can't decide take the one the most of the circle members are already reading and caught up or close to be.

    2)
    You can post updates of every story there.

    3)
    We can ask each other every question about the stories of the others or ours or every silly stuff we like to. If you have a question which is very important for you, ask it on Fridays because it most likely will be answered at the weekend. During the week it might get lost.

    4)
    Post bloopers, outtakes, buildings or just pictures of gorgeous sims. That is always a good thing. ;)

    5)
    Feel free to share links for good CC or poses. I am always in the need for that.

    6)
    Never say something against a man called Tony or @Maladi777 will send him after you. :D

    We don't have a specific number of new members in mind so just feel free to jump in and say hi to us. Preferable our new members are caught up with one or more of our stories but that is no must have.

    I hope to see someone soon in our circle.
    Hugs :)
    Maria

    I'm quite interested in joining a reading circle but don't know which ones have spots open or where my story would fit in. I've currently started a legacy, with drama and long chapters (sometimes but most have been averaging 1000 words), that I'd love to share with others. And also expand my reading collection. But it should be known I'm not super active as I've got a lot on my plate and will no doubt become inactive for a bit once my baby is born the middle of June and I'm currently working on graduating school the beginning of June as well. But I would still pop in occasionally to keep tabs on what's going on.

    Maybe start one of my own? If anyone is looking for a relaxed atmosphere with a handful of members to read and discuss their Simlit, I'd be interested in starting one. Where every 2 weeks we dedicate a feature story from a member with a discussion after?

    Let me know your thoughts!

    Hi, @RubeySim ! Joining one of the current circles or starting a new one would be great!

    I think that A Novel Idea indicated they had room... You could also look and find one that you liked, then pop over to their thread and ask if they have openings. Many circles will add new members upon request.

    If you decide to start a new one, feel free to check with people in the Writers' Lounge thread to see if they want to join one!

    Thanks! I've been snooping around a few circles but haven't found anything I find suits what I'm looking for.

    I think I may start my own, I have an idea in mind, now to see if there are a few more like minded souls that would be interested.

    I'd be interested to see what your idea is. I had a circle that we shut down because most of the members floated away. I'm in another circle now with my neighborhood rotation. But I started a new story series, and it might be nice to be a part of another circle for that separate story blog.

    @CathyTea Hey lady - all of us in the Paranormal Reads thread are also in the Reading Circle that must NOT be Named. The last activity (before today) in the PNR thread was 10 days ago. Our circle lead has not been around since March 1 and there is no activity there. We mostly chat in the NOT thread now.

    Can we either have all of us removed or possibly even the PNR circle dissolved?

    @LadyLobster , @MVWdeZT and @WagonFruit (and obviously @DreamsInPixels as stated in her post above)
    I do not have permission from, but is also a member of the NOT thread
    @Yushika (who hasn't posted in a while)

    @IchigoUsagi has not been around since March 1, but since this is her circle thread, I cannot direct the action of removing the circle all together, but since she is the only remaining participant, please do whatever you feel is best as Reading Circle administrator.

    Thank you as always for this wonderful herding of cats you do so well!

    I've removed you all from the Paranormal circle.

    Howdy!

    I have no idea how to define my story yet, and I don't know if I can fit into any of the reading circles which aren't full. However, I would love to join one of them! If I can't this time, please tell me when will the appropriate spot for me be available! :)

    Thanks!

    I am new to SimLit and am looking to join a reading circle. I clicked into a few specific ones, but some seem less active, or link back to this post to sign up.

    I've just begun a legacy story and plan to update chapters once a week to start. Currently I do not plan to have any graphic descriptions of violence or trauma.

    Sorry, you guys must answer questions like these all the time.

    I would have suggested my group for you, @Revlon, however, the group is full of active members at the moment.
