    Congrats to @MenaBuchner, @RethaSim, @Hoghead9400, @LauraAnneB, @katrinasforest, @Eddie Sims, @Charliimai, & @sweetnightingale! Good job, everyone who entered!

    @MenaBuchner I think you're ready to be a Veteran! :D

    she can choose whichever category she feels comfortable in .. I think this is her 3rd story ... def fits the novice billing ;) Most of us vets have been at it for 3 years or better and have hundreds of stories

    Of course. It was just my way of complimenting her. She has won first place for the third or fourth time, which is great for a novice. Sorry if I came off as rude or something - that really wasn't my intention.

    Wow, @Skeilah, looks like both of us were thinking toddlers this month! I also have a short story for August up over on my tumblr at laurawritesandgames.tumblr.com. I just finished your story - I liked the grandpa!

    And @divanthesimmer, I finished your story as well. Your main character was a lot of fun to read! She just hates everything!

    Is your story the story 'Motherhood'? I'm not sure because the banner says 'Participant june 2019' hehe. I like the story though!
    Also, very funny we both had toddlers in mind!

    Oh, whoops, sorry! I totally missed that the banners change every month. I'm so observant! I'll update that when I get a sec.

    But, yep, I wrote Motherhood. In one of my saves, the MC Command Centre mod gave Lily Feng twins. Since she has the Hates Children trait, that version of Lily probably wasn't living her best life! That moment inspired my story. If anyone would be particularly intolerant of a whining toddler, it'd be her.

    @divanthesimmer, @Skeilah, @LauraAnneB, great stories! I love how the complainers are all either the very young or very old---or Lily Feng, though I agree with her reasoning.
    Between Victor manipulating her into having a kid and her relationship with said kid, the family dynamics must be a dumpster fire.
    They have twins in my game too, Charlie and Carlie. YES THOSE ARE THEIR ACTUAL NAMES. They hit on everyone.

    I'm looking forward to reading what everyone's Sims are whingeing about!

    I wanted to say congrats to the July winners. Wonderful job everyone. For some reason, I wasn't getting any notifications but have now fixed that again. And some new August stories to read. Yeah! I have missed chatting with everyone. Off to read...

    Hi, I'm new to this thread. Can I put my story in a forum post? It's going to be an excerpt from a longer story on my Tumblr, so I don't have it in short form on my blog.

    [Edit: Nevermind. I read the rules, but for some reason the first time around I missed the part that said I could post on the forum.] :p

    I've been trying to get back into the groove of SimLit after having taken a long hiatus (Real Life and all that)

    Thought I'd give the short story of the month a try after one of my game saves had this funny little scene play out. Good way to get back into the writing mode.

    Yeah sorry, I forgot to add that and now I can't change the layout anymore so people can't react on it. I'll make sure to add that for a next entry, but I can't do anything about it now.

    Thank you anyways! <3

    @Qnshr5 Your story is hilarious! ^_^

    Glad to see these entries coming in! I was getting worried there wouldn't be much of a contest this month. :( I know a lot of people vacation in August, though, so it makes sense.

    I'm back with my every-other-month story. Lol. I always PLAN one on the off months it just never happens. Sigh. Looking forward to reading this month's stories and all the whinging.

    The House My Mother Left
    Check out Raerei's Fortress for Builds, Short Stories, and maybe some longer stuff.
