    @squirrelwithacup You might be amused by the blog Reasoning With Vampires. The author of the blog went through all of the Twilight books and pointed out all of the problems that they found. Some of it is plot stuff, but most of it is just pointing out all of the grammar errors; while I can't speak for you, I know that it helped me with my writing. (Also, this one bit where "dust motes" [the little specks of dust you see floating in the sun sometimes] are confused with "dust moats" [???] always gets me.) The RWV person doesn't like Twilight one bit and is very open about it, but their literary criticism is on point and they sure know how to use a comma.

    I'm reading through Reasoning With Vampires right now. It looks like I make a lot of the same mistakes! :p
    Thanks so much for the suggestion (even though it wasn't to me.)

    @Chrinnie Did you still want that palace build? I can upload it without furniture it in as it's done with the exception of furniture.

    A dnd game would be interesting... With Sims and writers sending stuff in to help determine stuff. Hmmmm. I'm getting ideas xD

    @Shadami It's a lot of fun! We don't coordinate stories as much as you'd think, but I think we approach the game from a more story driven perspective, if that makes sense? I think we all go a bit nuts with our theories about what is going on, maybe too far? haha

    @Munterbacon Hiiii fellow adventurer!

    It sounds fascinating! I'd love to try something like that someday...

    :blush:

    Yeah, a lot of the stuff just happens on the fly (like custom made pirate clubs/mauls and randomly turning into a teenager) - with the exception on the player backstories, which are usually discussed with the DM in order to provide a good hook for the players - 9/10 we predict undead dinosaurs, so far 9/9 times we've been incorrect! :D

    @Munterbacon
    And 9/9 times we've been disappointed!

    @15aewar I highly recommend it! I can't speak for the group but it's likely we'll open it up to more participants when we start a new campaign. The one we're in at the moment is quite long, so no idea yet when this will end!

    Soon! Soon we'll be right! >:) Although if truth be told, I was glad we weren't up against 17 undead T-Rex's last session! :D

    I'm fairly certain that everyone would be fine with added some new blood to the fold :)

    It's kind of interesting the new EP

    It looks pretty cool to me, although I'm mainly excited about the historical costumes in the trailer. :D

    What are you guys looking forward to in Get Famous?

    Depending on when I get it-since I will be busy with National Novel Writing Month-finishing up last year's novel and then making a new story during Nov.. it might mean I get to have the Swansons be famous by Gen 5.

    PLEASE< PLEASE, PLEASE let us be able to use the Gibson Hairstyle for "normal" sims.. because I want my Julia Odgen sim to have that hairstyle

    if anyone doesn't know what a Gibson style is it's this in the trailer
    AM484sR.jpg

    it's a style which was popular for women in the early 20th century (1900s)

    @Karilan actually it's from the 1900s. I watch a TV show called Murdoch Mysteries (pretty popular around the world and in the U.S. its known as the Artful Detective from around the same time period) and in the early seasons at least-Murdoch's woman friend
    now wife
    had such a style.
