Went ahead and got it over with. If you've submitted a story this month would you check that yours is on the list correctly. I always like to double check when I've been away from the forums for a while. Don't want to miss anyone
Thanks for the kind comments. I'm doing fine, but I left my laptop power cord at my mother's house. Wanted to let everyone know because that's why I haven't been able to post a new chapter yet. All my pictures are on that laptop. I'm heading back over there at the end of the week. I'll be able to get back to work on the…
Thank you all for all the kind comments. I'm doing okay. The main reason I have been on the forums is that I forget my laptop power cord at my mom's house. Won't be able to get it for a few more days as I live an hour away from her and haven't had the time to go back for it yet. I hate trying to update the thread on…
My stepdad's dad died this weekend. He was like my own grandpa. 3rd grandparent I've lost in 1 1/2 yrs. Spending time with family today. So no new chapter today. But it should only be delayed for a couple of days.

I thought it might be fun to share a few stats with everyone about our first twelve months of short story challenges. 59... that is the number of different people who have participated. I wish I had kept track of this better before now, so that I could have welcomed each newcomer to the challenge. I know we said a warm…
Before announcing the winners for July I'd like to share something special. After twelve months of these challenges there are two people who I want to honor for what I think is a wonderful achievement. These two people participated every single month for the first year. That's right a twelve month streak of entering these…
Two entries already for August! Love it. And I'm glad to read everyone who has posted about liking this month's theme. Thanks to everyone who has voted so far. I haven't even peeked at the results yet, but it sounds like there's a good turn out this month. @Hemera123 Welcome! Thanks for voting, and I know we would all love…
Trying to get out two chapters this week as I never released one next week. I promise I'm not going on another extended (and unannounced) hiatus. I just am struggling a bit with the last handful chapters of generation two. Because yes we are approaching the end of the chapters from Jay's point of view. Trying to do it…
@lisabee2 I'm glad you found the link you were looking for. And you've given me an idea. I had never thought to put a link to the entry list in the voting post. I think I will start linking it there too during the voting period. More ways to find something would be a good thing right? I'm sure there are others who have had…
I have a small correction to my post about voting this month. I accidentally wrote that the poll closes at midnight on the night of the 8th. That was a mistake. It closes at midnight the night of the 7th. I did give us a full week this month just to include the entire weekend. But no need for eight days lol. :)
Voting Is OPEN Voting for the July challenge winners is open at this time. (Poll closes at midnight (Central US time) on the night of Aug 7. Link below) Simply list your three favorite submitted stories (You must list three different stories). Rank doesn't matter - you don't have to list 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Just your three…
As usual here's the final list of submissions. July's Final Submission List Theme: I Open with the Close This month is our twelfth month of these writing challenges! As our first year of short stories draws to a close I wanted to do something to mark the occasion with the theme. A full year's worth of challenges puts me in…
Time to announce the next theme!!! :) (As I type this there are still about ten minutes left to submit entries for July, but I'm going to bed. Voting will be opened as soon as I can get to in in the morning.) August's Theme: Summer Love No special explanations needed this month. You do what you want with this month's…
Gosh I can't believe it's already the end of the month. I haven't commented in a while, but I have kept the entry list updated. There are still a couple of hours left to get your entries in. Not sure if anyone's still racing to finish on time or not, but know I'm cheering you on if you are. :) New theme coming up before I…
Interesting idea! I think if we do this there would need to be a month or two where we accept build entries. So I wouldn't leave you or any other ts3 participants struggling to find a build in such a time crunch.
I've had a thought for a possible theme. What do you think about a revitalization, renewal, or rejuvenation (or something like that) theme? The thought springing from the idea of doing makeover or renovating/remodeling videos.
@lizzielilyyyy Changed it. :) And changed the tag since your forum name has changed since then too. @Thymeless Can't wait to see your entry and yes post the link here when you're ready. I'm sure the build looks great, I can tell you've put a lot of heart into it :)
Don't know if this would work, but maybe you could try putting the harvestables in the kid's inventory. If it's an edible plant then your sim could eat it while standing near the plant. And snap a pic of the kid with the plant in his/her hand to stage it like they'd actually harvested the thing.
