    So, interesting question for those of you familiar with Tony Corleonesi
    What type of dog breed would you say he is?

    I ask because we (@simscognito and I) are having a discussion on it over in my WAWRMO thread (slow week and theories got crazy involving Tony's son :D ) and I want to know what you all think.

    what is WAWRMO? For my story I think Tony would be a Great Dane.


    Speaking of GDs.. can someone breed in their game Dalmatian and a GD together and show me the result?

    @MadameLee WAWRMO is my story that involves Tony and my main characters.

    @MadameLee that one has similar traits to the dog I imagined him as, which was the Maremmano.

    @Bugsie2016 I love the last dog. It kind of has a Tony attitude about it.

    thanks!! The 3 picture makes me think of my Aunt Lori's dog which been dead since 2000. Mom thinks he was partly Great Dane due to his size but he mostly looked like a Dalmatian. I don't have any pictures of that dog unfortunately.

    Erm, I guess....erm, I actually don't know what to think. Maybe that it's good to know he might have been part Great Dane afterall but sad you don't have any pictures.

    I was just doing some testing with a yogurt cup standing in as an ice cream cup using Dad's teabags as weight to see how it might end up on the floor for my story. I just forgot to add spoons to the cup. For my NaNoWriMo story

    I agree with @CathyTea. Definitely a Rott.

    @Bugsie2016 You have Tony in a story? I am going to have to read it. I do not have enough Tony in my life since I killed him in my story. (Or since that entire Malcome and arson incident.)

    @Skcaga6 Don't get your hopes up. He's only in one chapter so far, his children make..quite the impression (well his daughter does :D ).

    So I might be making a cake *or* cookies for my friend's P's mom (I would prefer making a cake since I have at least some experience doing that and my hands wouldn't get so messy).

    Good guess! @Maladi777 gave him a dog in one of her saves, and I think she's a Rottweiler.

    So what do you think you're sim story characters' dogs (or cat) breeds might be if they're a dog or cat?

    Clarissa-Maybe a Charles Spaniel (Carly as well ) Molly? Hannah I? America-an American C.o.c.k.e.r Spainel Lucy-pit bull? Elizabeth--Husky? Cora? Juliet&Hailey (I might have named that person based on you know? Paul's sister), Melissa and Selene? and my current twins, Jane and HAM-Scottish terrier

    Do I play with Leo and Vince's dog today or do I wait because it will make me super impatient for the weekend?

    BTW @Jes2G and @InfraGreen I already knew about the rottweiler. I saw it on tumblr the other day. (Yep I have tumblr but you have to search to find it, or wait for me to link it :D )

    Another question: Do you prefer to let the reader's find out before the characters (about a detail/secret/ insert anything that could be revealed) or at the same time as the characters?

    @Bugsie2016 I tend to reveal little things maybe via picture only, but usually I reveal things with the characters mostly because this gives me wiggle room in case I need to change something. Or I am still figuring out details when I publish. Or I really really like suspense. :D

    However, I've seen this kind of thing done well with frame stories. You know the "whodunnit" but you don't know the why until the end of the story. Then it could work in your favor to reveal details earlier to the readers than the characters. I'm trying to think of a good Simlit example of this, and I'm drawing a blank so if anyone knows of one, feel free to help me out. Chaucer's Canterbury Tales are an example of a frame story, or Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Or the movie Inception is a good example. The trick is to keep the reader guessing and engaged.

    @AdamsEve1231 Fortunately, I already know what the detail is and it's a mystery that @simscognito is currently trying to figure out (latest theory was hilarious btw). I'm thinking of either going with one of two plans:
    A wordless skip of time ended with some form of link into discovering (in this case) the identity of said character. (I'm thinking this one right now)

    Or I reveal who the identity first then wordless time skip chapter and trying to resolve what happens at the ending.

    I'm staying vague because it's an important secret that only I know and it's also been planned since before I published the first chapter back in September.

    @Bugsie2016
    I think either one could work. I wish you luck with your writing.
