I just check the vote stats for the challenge and LOL I AM ROLLING here ... we have a STRAIGHT up TIE for first place in ALL 4 authors - #idie - it is tight (as usual) for the Veterans
Ahahaha, oh man, this contest could definitely use some more buzz. As always, it was hard to pick just three!
(Love the April theme. I'm planning a parody of a certain '60s sci-fi TV show; does "doodoodoodoo, doodoodoodoo" count as two words, or eight? Similar question for "BAAAAAAM, BABABABABAM.")
(Edit: ... I just realized "could use some buzz" was in response to Lisabee. Pun not intentional, I swear)
Catastrophe Theory: If, through loose ends, we could resume/Unrav'ling defects from the loom/And soften as the shuttle mends---/Then save for me a few loose ends! Haunted: Picture Oscar Wilde dating Willy Wonka, also Oscar Wilde is still dead

We are getting some good twitter BUZZZZZ right now (Sorry that gave me a great ROFL) .. I try hard for FB (but it out to dozens of groups) the prob is that the ZUCbots have been shutting me down (the offer to boost my posts if I only pay them a mere $10 a day. "We" all need to own this and push it where we live .. REDDIT .. Tumblr .. FB .. Twitter .. Discord .., Insta .. forums
Do we need a FB group to facilitate easier conversations (not page - we have one and they are not optimal for conversations)? We have a discord and a Twitter but I know not all of you use those .. let's hear your thoughts.
Twitter is the one that I'm on the most. Discord probably a distant second, then Tumblr after that.
Banner? If you're talking about the image that says "Participant Novice" or "Participant Veteran," it appears the link to those banners has been deleted???
So, I'm unsure of this month's theme and I'm wondering if someone can give me a couple examples? I was thinking maybe "sim a does something stupid" or "sim a pranks sim b", but I'm not sure if that fits the theme or not.
I also didn't know there was a discord server lol I just joined it. I don't use any social media (I have a tumblr but haven't touched it in over a year, and a facebook that I really only use for photo storage and messenger lol).
@AnnoyingTiger: it can be any of those and even more. Like as tangential as they come. It was a theme a couple years ago as well and I decided to write about an unlucky tarot reader (since "The Fool" is a card) My other favorite tangent is that "fool" is also an old-timey fruit + custard dessert.

Wow you are correct it says it was deleted BUT it was not .. I put the link back in place (it is the same one so I hope it goes. Keep me posted. I really think WP is on crack sometimes ... the next line down is underlined (not by me & it will not allow me to remove the underline).

I went back and looked up some quotes on fools and a few old fables I like .. BUT fool can be interpreted in many ways .. a fool for love .. a wise fool .. a brazen folly .. you can also fool someone .. pranksters or a twist like @krystalgamer1's story
Wow, the votes for Novice were so close! Congratulations on putting yourselves out there, and congratulations to the veteran winners too! Y'all wrote some great stories!
I've finished my April post (Eyes Up for the Prophet) and have never had much success with social media, but will try my best to promote anyway. Maybe pictures will help, maybe we'll get some people from the comic, who knows?

So I've spent the past couple of weeks trying to figure out what to write for this month and I've finally done it lol. https://misskellysims.wordpress.com/2021/04/20/beckys-big-break/
I have been so busy with too many sims things on the go, and a lot of work overload with covid pushing the limits for us in healthcare here in Ontario, Canada. Anyway, I was worried, but I'm good. I got most of my screenshots done today and I'm still in, and as always I can't wait to read the other stories. I didn't promote as much this month, but I do hope we have more new writers returning and some new entries.
I'm back! I've been taking a break from writing fiction--but I've been writing poetry for NaPoWriMo all month (just not posting it) and I wrote an essay for this month's challenge. This is actually my favorite theme of all time, so I'm super looking forward to reading everyone's entries!
