@superkyle221 : Stories are due on the last day of the month (so for this month, May 31st) at midnight Central Daylight Timezone (GMT-5) .
This will probably be my first month stepping out since I started participating in October 2015; rebuilding the Stories and Legacies Index has taken all my time this month. Uh... I'm sorry? (See what I did there? ^_~ )

Thank you so much! I guess I have one other question - can you only participate if you have Sims 3? I don't have it, but I didn't realize this was in the Sims 3 thread.
@superkyle221 : The forums recently changed the entire structure of the Stories and Legacies section. There used to be a "general" Stories and Legacies section that was "shared" or "for everyone" that this thread was located in, but the forums deleted this entire board, and moved everything that was in this board into the Sims 3 section, even if it was for mixed content (my Stories and Legacies Index was another thread effected by this change). If you read the rules located on the very first post of this thread, you'll see that any and all Sims games are accepted.
Wow, I guess playing a game for a couple hours, unintentionally, makes this thread explode? @superkyle221 mastress is correct-- this thread is open to all sims games, it's just stuck in the sims 3 section since there's no longer a general stories and legacies section on the forums. Entries are due midnight central time on the last day of the month. We'd love it if you entered! @mastressalita Thanks for the help answering questions. It's too bad about the forum situation and that you can't enter this month, but I love what you did! @Arrowleaf@ra3rei placed first last month.
Ah darn it - I was just (finally) seriously thinking about the topic and thought of an idea for a story this month. Now the question is can I write it while working on buying a house...Probably? If I can't write properly, at least I can write short stories?
Check out Raerei's Fortress for Builds, Short Stories, and maybe some longer stuff.
Voted as well. What a variety of stories and apologies we had!
Hmmm a pictures worth 500 words. This will be a challenge. Normally for these things, I write then screenshot. But perhaps this time I should find the picture first.

I always screenshot, then write (yes, even in SSC where my ideas are far more structured than, say, Cat Chronicles where I depend on seeing what happens in game to guide my writing). I guess I'm just stuck in my ways! I notice, technically, this is the first month one could not write at all if they wish... 0-500 words! This challenge reminds me of the Photo Fridays that I do each week, sort of!
@lilypadmeulin@superkyle221 Thank you for entering! We love having new members here @mastressalita Yes, you could technically not write anything this month-- sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words And thank you for promoting this thread on the newsfeed!
@Pegasus143 : I've always been scared to promote it on the newsfeed because I didn't want anyone to accuse me of "soliciting votes" simply for promoting the thread as a whole (since I typically have a story submitted, May has been my first I wasn't able to make that deadline since October 2015). I figured I'd do it this month only because I didn't have a story entered. If the kind of promotion I put on the newsfeed is acceptable, I will be more than happy to continue doing it in future months, but I do intend to get my participation back on track (I still want to try to get a May story done for fun ^_~ )

Who won last month? I know there were only 4 entries, but I am still curious. ^_^
