    Sorry it's taken so long. My internet was down this morning so I couldn't get on. Unfortunately, since nobody posted any stories this past month, there are no winners. :(
    August's Theme: Characters
    I've been getting really into DnD lately, and DnD is all about creating characters to go on adventures with. Everybody starts out as a blank sheet, then builds into something new. With that in mind, what's the one thing that defines your sims' character, and how did the realize that was who they were?

    Special Rules: Surprise! And extra 3 screenshots and 500 words, for a total of 1-15 screenshots and 500-1,500 words!

    Sorry for such a late submission! My game has been soooo broken. Here's an exploratory piece for August, little things. It's about little interactions or quirks that define things about us. <3 There's heavily implied sexual themes sometime through because it involves infidelity, so if that's not your thing, just a heads up! Good luck to everyone else :)

    Thank you for the submission, baby! :)

    September's Theme: The Next Pixar Short
