I love the inspirations and using science as a sort of metaphor there @HermioneSims and I love that inspiration @GlacierSnow thank goodness Ion is much nicer : p And a fun idea to combine two different things so well. I always thought SaM was very noir ish but with a brighter element in Ion. And Hermione I don’t know much…
There’s a character in the modern magic stories that’s named after an alchemical symbol, at first it was just something associated with the occult as a name for the character… and something associated with that symbol ended up inspiring the entire backstory of him and his family and was how the final story of the modern…
Reluctance to do big story events is such a mood. Trying to find the right poses, trying to find the right deco sims, sometimes MAKE deco sims and poses, and then having to construct big scenes where everyone is posed, making sure none of those poses ruin the mood....blagh.
@MoonlightGraham Blogger is not as good as Wordpress IMO but very good for storage space. Your storage space for images is only counted if your pictures are bigger dimensions than what it says here. My story is up to almost 5GB in pics and I am fine at the moment.
@MonaSolstraale I use the ChippedSim Storytelling Kit mod to control the seasons, because I have the same issue sometimes where it seems the seasons are changing too fast for the time covered in the story, so this helps with that. But sometimes I do forget, and inexplicably during middle of the summer in the story, the…
@MonaSolstraale That's a good way to do it actually and not lose track of scenes. I have some saves that are separate to the regular story, some have alt builds in it (like for a flashback) and some are just test or separate mess-about files for when I don't want to wreck the story save with experimenting with designs,…
@DaniRose2143 I too try to resist the urge to rewrite, mainly older stuff. I have been tempted to go back and revise some of the general wording (and silently clean up minor lore errors) but it'd take me ages. I will probably go back and do it sometime anyway since it won't be heavy revisions. I realise a lot of my…
I don't do gameplay, but for storytelling bits that might aid some of you in historic gameplay immersion for some, I do have a mod that turns the phone into a little notebook, and a pen override that turns it into a quill. As you say MCCC is a lifesaver for copypasting period appropriate outfits on everyone, thank goodness…
@lizzielilyy I do yeah thankfully, but that will come a bit later since I have a fairly big timeskip to cover but I’ll get there! Eventually XD I have multiple lore pages on the blog that I have to keep referring to but I’ve already broken 2 or 3 rules. Some of it isn’t a big deal since some of the changes of universe lore…
@lizzielilyy Ah it is hard work, especially since I have contradicted my own lore time and time again and have had to retcon small things…And then there’s the rules of how the magic works and everything else :'( The other trouble with multiple POVs and so many characters is I have a character’s arc planned up until a…
I am laughing at both @haneul and @HermioneSims because I specifically chose that pic to signify my reaction to the end of an era so I'm glad others are commiserating with the miffed-looking bnuuy. XD @lizzielilyy I am laughing so much at this because this is exactly what happens in all my chapters. Divided is very much an…
I didn’t see the point in migrating my story thread since I am close ish to finishing this story and I don’t want 4 months of reader comments ending up in the void. Readership has been dwindling for ages anyway, and I would really rather just keep to the comfortable circle of readers I have than try to expand it. Less a…
Just as a heads-up to other readers, all archived comments for Divided are here and the original forum thread has been hidden now by an admin at my request. (I have kept all story-relevant comments. This took hours, so I decided not to keep the more general comments and my general unelaborated 'thank you for commenting as…
I second @mightysprite on keeping the: Stories and Legacy Index Gateway. Reasoning: All the stories posted there that will otherwise be lost when individual threads go down will be (mostly) in one place for people to find if readers forget to bookmark a story's website or whatever. To have it all in one place there, it'd…
