  • @AdamsEve1231 I have noticed that the Sims community is much more forgiving of faults in male characters than it is in female characters. So I'm not surprised that people like Gage more than Kass. Putting the rest of this in a spoiler because it's weird and meandering.
  • Thanks everyone! Yeah, I have aging off for Seth and Sarah, and of course Surreal Darkness is just scenery shots. When I am playing for myself without a story, I like to just brute force the game. Play within its limits and rules, but without any cheats or even aspiration rewards. Is just how I roll. ;) It has been in the…
  • @RipuAncestor The spousal person and I went out Saturday afternoon for dinner and to see Dunkirk, and at one point I said, "It's too hot for joy." It is a tiny bit cooler today. :) I spent Sunday playing the game all day, so I have a question for other people. What lifespan do you play on, and how do you play? I decided to…
  • @friendsfan367 *all the hugs* You are not alone.
  • Is it okay if I post here sometimes? Also, I like the idea of responding to the person above you, but I tend to take hours to write posts, so by the time I'm ready to hit post there's probably going to be quite a few other posts after the one I'm replying to. Is that okay?
  • *hugs* You are very much a decent friend! :)
  • I know I'm not welcome around here. Is okay. :) I'm used to it after all these years. Which I went through my time of letting it get to me, and sometimes it does still bring back bad memories, but really... Okay, this is a lot easier to say now that I've found decent friends than it would have been before, but I guess…
  • I've realized in the last few years that how I see my work depends on my mood. In some moods I read it and it seems like each individual letter is dripping with badness and nothing I write is ever good enough and I'm a bad person. But then something happens to change my mood, I read the same thing that I hated a week ago,…
  • @CraftyKat @KismetRose I've been writing Sims stories since 2005, so I will claim at least some level of expertness. ;) I don't use CC or mods or poses. You don't have to use that kind of stuff if you don't want. Plenty of people do want to use it, and that's fine, but it's not a requirement. You can still get plenty of…
  • @RipuAncestor I love Tango! I need to come binge on it again soon. I like Novak's look! As for how I'm doing...pretty well, really. Thinking about maybe sometimes trying to post in this thread normally again. I feel like I've made a lot of progress recently on things, and it might not be so scary to post here now. We'll…
  • @CathyTea I replied to your Simself! https://profounduniverse.wordpress.com/2017/07/01/intersect/
  • I can second this. My hair was really blonde, almost kind of white, when I was very young, but by the middle of elementary school it was the brown that it is now.
  • @sweetnightingale *hugs* I am glad that people here believe you and validate you and that they aren't blaming you. That helps a lot. You may be in it for the long haul. My troll has been around for at least 8 years, and I think there were signs of it before the first hate secret. Let me know if you ever need help or just…
  • It was really rough for a while after I finished Valley. Hardcore crying jags, feeling lost, feeling numb. I was writing it for about 8 months, with two updates a week at first and then it went down to one update a week, and it was really intense and I loved it so much and it was my life for those 8 months, and then it was…
  • @friendsfan367 *hugs* Thank you. I hope you know that you're important to me and that I always enjoy your posts and you make me laugh. @Rainydayz179 I started a thread on the guild forum a couple of hours ago asking if people wanted to get together in game. The guild broke up a while ago but we still stay in touch and some…
  • I found out last night that a member of my old WoW guild died recently. The guild is still fairly close knit and keeps in touch. I just wanted to tell you all that you are very important to the people you talk with online. The whole guild loved our friend, and we are mourning with her family. I can't really believe I will…
  • Yay I'm glad you thought it was interesting! How do you define "unapproachable"? I think both sides are responsible for the alienation. Certainly in my experience I've seen a lot more people who have a huge chip on their shoulder about "snobs" than I have encountered any actual IRL examples of these "snobs" that people…
  • http://stanwoodhouse.com/writing/why.html Interesting essay on the social reception of art.
  • I've noticed that people just hit "like" now instead of commenting like they did in the days before like buttons. Also I don't plan at all. Things just kind of happen and my fingers write words, I don't know.
  • How did you learn how to write?
  • I'm not really sure if I should post this here, since I decided to not go the simself route and instead use all these IRL pics I've been taking with my phone for something, but well. @CathyTea, here you go. My pen pal profile: https://profounduniverse.wordpress.com/2017/06/07/pen-pal-profile/ I said one to two penpals, so…
  • @CathyTea , I come bearing a letter! I do not think I would like these stores that remain in Windenburg. I prefer the sorts of stores that aren’t there anymore when you come back a few days later with questions about the cursed cutlery you purchased, and why all your loved ones are now zombies. Toomuch Notenough, Seth's…
  • *reads what you want in a pen pal* All right, let me finish Seth's letter to Jasper (which I am hoping to do later today - meant to get a lot of work done on it already but somehow I ended up not waking up until 6 p.m.), and I'll make a Simself.
  • @CathyTea I don't have a Simself, but I'll think about it. I could make a new Sim, or make a Simself.
  • I know when I read it, it really freaked me out because of my past. I can't tolerate harsh judging and abandonment, so to me she was acting like an emotional abuser I used to know and all of his flying monkeys and the "friends" who trusted the judgments of strangers about me instead of what they actually knew about me. But…
  • I am conquering my anxiety as best I can and slowly scrolling down your post about Surreal Darkness and reading it tonight, and I just wanted to say that I do really really appreciate it and I think that it's awesome that you're volunteering to do this, and I would recommend to other people that they give it a try. :)
  • Hey guys! I haven't been working on my letters lately because I've been helping @mastressalita a bit with transferring her index to WordPress, and it's up now! There is a tag for the pen pal project in the subject search, so feel free to submit the links to your letter indexes. :)
  • Awww, thank you! And yes, writing is hard. I am at work and busy, but I will read it tonight.
  • I'm up for it, for both Surreal Darkness and Emo Pistols. https://medleymisty.wordpress.com/surreal-darkness/ https://medleymisty.wordpress.com/emo-pistols/
