I'm currently doing a sims 3 legacy challenge and I've been considering creating a blog and writing it into a story but I'm not sure if there's still any interest. So is it still a thing? Do you read any legacy stories? Which site do you think is the best for a legacy story blog and why?

I would certainly ready a Sims 3 legacy still and be quite happy to do so!
I use WordPress and really like it!
If you check out the "Stories and Legacies" section here you'll find TONS of legacy stories as well as other stories to check out, read, and gain ideas from.
Edit: Make sure you're checking in the "Sims 3 General Discussion" categories.
Best wishes!
But, @emorrill , a Legacy Challenge story is a challenge story, if the player is playing by the Legacy Challenge rules (no cheats, starting with a YA sim on a large empty lot and very little money) and basing the story on their gameplay! @alexjoanroww , if you're writing this sort of story, I would be very interested in reading it. I personally prefer to read stories here in the Stories and Legacies subforum, but I know that some other readers prefer blogs, so you should choose whatever feels best for you!
I can recommend a few that have succeeded in creating interesting stories for each generation. Check them out:
Kymber at Booomcha. Her Noble Doubt story is a legacy, currently at generation 6, with different storylines that keeps up the interest
Jessesue at Stories by Bee She has written 3 generations (so far!) Her poses are true gems!
Louise at Not Just a Book A very interesting story taking place in Monte Vista - 2 generations so far!
Jowita at Never Do It Again She's at generation 6, and there is never a boring moment!
I'm also writing a story that started out as a legacy, but rapidly turned into something more book like. Just click on my siggy and it will take you to the Grey Witches blog!
Enjoy!
Oh,and do they cost something and if so, how much?
And what about tumblr?

A website is your own construction, and can work as a blogsite but you have to do everything yourself...
And how much space is for free? (at WP)
(and to reveal me as a stupid newbie: what is a blog?) 😨

What I meant to say is those are the least interesting stories to me because most people write them the way @jillbg described below and it's a little boring to me. Repitition gets old fast in my book... Sorry. I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings saying that, it's just a personal opinion. I like a story to have character growth and many new adventures happening along the way, good or bad. It keeps me engaged helps me relate more to the characters.
@AlexaKry Jillbg gave you a great response. I'm not sure how to describe what a Blog is at the moment because I'm so sleepy but it's basically you're very own webpage, that's often times free, that you set up to your liking and write and post all your stuff. @jillbg , maybe you can explain better?
I need a nap...
@emorrill Thanks for your advice and wishes! I'll make sure to check it out.
@PalmArrow Thank you for your interest! I haven't started writing yet,I'll let you know once I will.
@jillbg It can be boring but I've came to find out that interesting plotwists always arise while playing. Also thanks for the links,I'll definitely check them out

But, I never thought of doing a vlog and that seems to now be my preferred way of communicating at the moment.
Im posting my Sims 3 stories on YouTube and am learning as I go. So far I haven't actually started a vlog but expect I'll be doing it soon.

Here, at the forum too less people watch my stories and I don´t get enough points, I´m really disappointed that I´m writing just for me! (irony off!!!!! )

So, long story short, the fact there aren’t as many Sims 3 stories anymore doesn’t mean people don’t play the game.
Most of the stories I've read were on tumblr or wordpress (or similar blog sites.) I can't speak for which is the best as I've never written one.
I some of the Sims 3 stories I read are; Greencats, Ciane, danjaley, Mmdrgntobldrgn, Sandy.

A few are not active, but they are complete.
It’s always interesting to watch the children amd grand children develop in their own right.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
