You guys!!!!! You are all so amazing! I stopped commenting individually on the thank you posts a little ways into because I was rushing off to see the next one. Now that I've gotten all caught up in the thread I'll be heading back to take a closer look at them all. I also haven't linked them on the front page yet, but I will. I have to show off all the love and support you all have shared the past few days. And don't think I didn't notice those of you who posted your thanks in the thread here. Each thank you I read tonight really touched my heart. You really are all amazing. I love this community.
Part of me is sad to be stepping down, but it is time. And I'm glad it'll continue on without me. (But it does feel a little strange not announcing a new theme tonight. lol)
Also I think I've linked all the official entries on the front page. As always you're welcome to double check. And if you're still working on a submission you do have a couple more hours left before the cutoff.
You're so welcome, Carewren. We're going to miss you! I only hope that the new thread will live up to your and everybody else's expectations!
You're welcome @Carewren123. I truly appreciate all the hard work you've put into these challenges, and even though I haven't always been able to participate and I've only submitted 4 times, I have enjoyed every time.

I know lots of people want a Halloween theme for October and I don't want to disappoint. i think it's flexible enough for you all to make the theme you own as always. Have fun!
Special Rules: 500 - 2000 words and 1- 15 screenshots. October is always a fun time of year to me so I thought you woul enjoy some extra words and pictures.
And for one last time from me at least here's the link to vote
Voting Is OPEN
Voting for October's winners is open at this time. (Poll closes at midnight (Central US time) on the night of Sunday November 6. 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 favorite in general. The stories with the most votes overall will win. 1st, 2nd and 3rd places will be awarded.
I'm gonna miss you hosting the short story challenges, @Carewren123.
I agree, though I do hope that me and the two other hosts will be just as good.
You guys will do great, @Spottydog714@Pegasus143 and @SilentWolf101 ! And you know, we'll all support your efforts and be available in any way we can to help make sure that we can keep this wonderful writing activity and community that @Carewren123 started!
Is a new thread going to be started soon for November? Also, if a new thread is started, you should also include the link to this thread in the first post somewhere (or maybe the 2nd). I don't want to step on anyone's toes. I'm just curious to know what the new theme is. lol

I just noticed the new thread too...I was looking in the TS4 section instead of the "general" Stories and Legacies. Maybe post a "satellite" thread in this board too? Especially because it gets a lot of traffic.
I didn't want to post yet in the new thread for fear they weren't finished setting it up. Otherwise, I'd be all over, jumping up and down in excitement. lol
I for one am glad to see it in the other Stories and Legacies section... I missed August and September of this the first time because it was located in the Sims 4 Stories and Legacies instead of in the general Stories and Legacies where I spend most of my time, and being new and a bit ignorant to the forums (I joined the forums in August of 2015 when the theme was "Firsts") I assumed anything located in the TS4 Stories and Legacies forum was only for TS4 and any other Sims games were not allowed and would be looked down upon. So it was two months in (October) before I heard it through the grapevine about this thread over here, and that it accepted stories from any Sims game. I likely would've heard about it (and entered) my first month on the forums if it had been located in the other area (or if at the very least it had better exposure over in the other forum... this is the problem with the "split" creative community on these forums which I thought the Gurus were going to fix with their cleanup last summer... alas, in the end they decided not to -_-;; )
@lisabee2 : Voting for October still takes place over here, in the original thread. The new thread isn't starting until the new November theme opens (which it hasn't yet, the thread is still being built).
