    Wonderful sims, guys, I'm getting excited!

    Question, though - do we choose which sim we want to borrow? Or will it be randomly chosen for us?

    Hi everyone! I have been away for awhile from this forum, but did find time to read the November/December entries and voted. There are some really great stories in there.

    You get to choose which characters are most fitting for your story.

    For me, it's often easier just to knock out the story while I'm feeling teal-blue inspired. Here's my character: Meet Jayne Ayer. Was a lot of fun to write! Hopefully she will appear on the gallery soon. Also please see the note about CC at the end of the story.

    So is our setting going to be Murky or something else that we like?

    GREat! Thanks for joining in with another character to add to the pool. So far I can imagine ways for each of the submissions to fit into a storyline with my own. She's great!

    Setting and storyline will all come from you .. that is wide open .. the only thing I am asking is that is you have an established story that is set outside of that ..

    Congrats to the other Nov/Dec winners all the stories entered were fantastic, I enjoyed them so much i am shocked to find myself listed among the winning 3. Thank you!

    I do not come empty handed i am here with my Jan 2020 entry It has 8 images and 798 words (although 1 of the images does have a caption. I have not counted them as they are not part of the story and can be removed if needed. just let me know @lisabee2

    Love Moonbeam and her story! I also really like the newspaper layout of the post. :)

    I am intrigued ... there is a lovely air of mystery around Moonbeam that I wait to see uncovered.

    Thanks @SoulGal7 @divanthesimmer and @lisabee2 i actually found this challenge difficult. For me i usually have a plot idea that i develop into a story and the character comes much later. I am nervous about next month as i have no idea whether I'll be able to come up with a cohesive story working backwards from my usual process. Never thd less I'm excited to meet all the other characters and working out how they might fit into Moonbeams little world. I have started reading the entries so far and trying to kickstart my creativity.

    @Charliimai I am so glad to see another entry. Going to read now about Moonbeam.

    If anyone else is reading in and feeling intimidated, feel free to reach out to me if you want to chat about ideas. As I mentioned, this was something my writing group did and it can take you out of your comfort zone, but also be really fun.
