I've actually bookmarked that thread. I unfortunately don't have time to write a short story for it at the moment, but I love reading other people's. I do agree, though, there have been some very creative short stories from that thread, some of which have given me inspiration and ideas for possible stories in the future.
I would write an amazon challenge but i'm terrible at challenges so all of my stories are based off of challenges (with the exception being that random one I came up with to feature BB ). I also tried planning an amazon challenge but it turned into a different type of tribe. I enjoy it though as @simscognito knows well enough !!

I've never been so happy in my life to do laundry. The Sims makes everything more fun! I'm excited about wash tubs too, however washing by hand really isn't much fun in reality. Lol. I might have to get this stuff pack. I'm debating about how to spend my Christmas origin points.

I just attempt to get them engaged and throw a ceremony for them-and then move them out into either a)the husband's home or b)get the couple a house. I only had one exception when I needed to have room for someone and there were too many sims.
time periods aren't really important.
Let's just say my sims' kidnappings comes from my dreams because back when I was in college-I would routinely have "kidnapping" dreams if they didn't come from my childhood play
Absolutely. I add songs and YouTube links sometimes to my posts and sometimes I add lyrics to the posts too. Sometimes I use it in the text and sometimes just in the author's notes. Sometimes I give a "Simlish" type name to the song or the artist. When I wrote the "Home for the Holidays" section in From Riverview, With Love, all the chapters were named after various Christmas songs.
@Karilan They get a spin-off because I can't leave them alone. Hence Generation 1.5 of Colt Family Traitacy because I wasn't ready to move on.
That sounds fantastic!

does that mean kass sisters get their own story?
just asking cause your here.
@AdamsEve1231 Yess! I love that response! It just feels weird to me ignoring the spare heirs because it doesn't reflect real life in my opinion (as everyone has a story), not that everything has to reflect real life, though.
Uh oh

@friendsfan367 Sorry had to wait for the spam limit to turn off because apparently I posted too many times back to back. *sigh*
Origin points - I purchased TS4 through Origin and I have game points I can use like a gift card on the site to purchase stuff packs and expansions.
Hahah... good idea. I should do a spin-off with Cari and Andi, though I plan to write Kass's story for a long long time. It's not a typical legacy story. It's a long series. I will include more chapters from Carina's and Andi's perspectives in the future.

For me, it depends.
In Foe (Friends of Foes by @simscognito , it's Henry because he just seems slightly out of depth in the whole 'organisation'. He's the only one in his family who doesn't go with the biased about the other organisations. I'm growing slightly fond of Alex though. Shh..don't tell Cog !
For my own story, it changes. Right now it's Claude but it's because of his current character growth.
Only stories I actually reference are simlit stories. I've included lyrics to songs for maybe 2 chapters (but they were wordless chapters, and one is still currently my favourite even 3 months later! )
Mine are quite involved in my story. Despite Claude having 4 siblings they get their stories told in small sections of the chapters. My main spare would have to be Vince but only because he's Claude's twin brother so they're at the same stage of life and it's something to contrast Claude's life to right now.
Only one of my stories is set in a specific time period. Which is my newest one but even that one is super vague on when exactly it is because then I can get creative.
Actually that's another story I could use those washtubs in!
Well, I have just now so not much else to say on this one...
As for your response to part 2, Yes, I really like the way you drop into the various other family members. It makes the whole story feel well rounded, as if Claude is part of a bigger story.
@simscognito For sims I prefer modern just because it's easier. I always set it in a fictional world though so I have all the artistic license I could want. For my own writing outside of sims I prefer medieval fantasy or futuristic sci fi.
@MadameLee I would say if Cora is more of a difficult child and Elizabeth is more obedient, that could make sense why she is the favourite. Also, if Elizabeth has more in common with her parents, that might also help to make her the favourite child.
@AuroraLockwood Ahh I love sci fi. It's also the setting I work in for outside of simLit, although it kind of dances between fantasy and sci fi. Oh I love medieval fantasy too, although I don't write it - not sure why because I love reading it. Yes, I've noticed that with your stories, having it in a completely fictional world, but at the same time, it's like ours, apart from the supernatural elements, such as in The Family Black. What's nice about it is that we are completely unaware that it is a fictional world, because everything in it we can relate to and yet it is a different world because there are elements, such as place names, and pop culture references, that are not and what's really awesome is that I find myself not even batting an eyelid.
David was a prince (the Goths, the Landgraabs, and the Bjersgens aka the Bjerks are in my head royalty in my story universe) but he gave up the claim to marry into the Swanson dynasty. America, is the 3rd Cinderella (but only one of Gen 3) so Elizabeth doesn't really have a lot in common with her parents-America is a bookworm, good, and a foodie. Elizabeth likes the outdoors-ie catching frogs or playing tag. David all I remember is as an adult he got the paranoid trait. Maybe it's in my head is a hidden trait of America's is "Loves the Outdoors"? Elizabeth&Cora are twin.

"For every generation you will need move to a new lot."
I don't want to tell you which one(s) will be following that rule to keep it more of a surprise for you. Those are my secret plans.

Makes sense, I think challenge rules are often broken for story purposes.
In the Glassbolt Apocolypse challenge you are not supposed to build outside of an 8x8 square I believe it is? Rule doesn't say anything about a cube. I dug a basement!
Medieval fantasy or future sci fi is ironically the theme of most books/movies/tv/games I enjoy. The simlit I read is much different, but it's understandable why modern day drama is the most common thing in simlit, as it's the main setting of the sims. I was never very interested in slice-of-life kind of stories until I found simlit, now I love it!
