Without ANY doubt Mel Calero's "Paper Doll" which soon will have it's last part (can't wait!). I even cried reading this! It's like someone has made me and my friend ina story!

Derange & SSChan's Omerta: Code of Silence - its pretty coool! Cuz of that story I got into all siming and storying stuff.

Lambert Legacy is really nice !

and I read A Sims Way of Life, but it ended!

Where can I find a direct link to The Broke Legacy. I want to read it from the start and I can't find anywhere that's before Gen 4.4

I have one here, "Second Chances," but I admit it's a bit rushed.

I'm just not sure how to write a Sim story...from a "realistic" point of view, or from a Sim point of view.

I used to write a ton of fanfic, way back long ago...like in the 90s....

Ms. Spears, excuse my while I pinch your little cheeks...

There. That's my elder moment for the day. (The 90s are yesterday..) As far as how to write the story - different approaches will work with different stories. A story with a cowplant that devours Bigfoot in it needs a very different tone from one from which excludes all those weird elements. Step back and look at the story as a whole. If it's funny, is it funnier told with a straight face as if this were all normal, or from the stance that the world was normal until suddenly a cowplant intruded on it? If it's dramatic, what's the most heart-wrenching way you can deal with the cowplant?

Think about how you felt when you played the story out. It will help you find the correct tone. And believe it or not, there's no rule that says you have to post it until you're satisfied that you've found the right one; so you can rewrite certain key scenes until you're sure you've got the balance you want, then write or revise the rest of the story around it.

For the most part, you'll find it's almost exactly like writing fanfic, except you have more control over how people react to the characters.

Mostly legacys... anything with Don the Zombie in it! (Candi's Legacies)

Personally, I'm waiting for Peni Griffin to write a sims story. Now THAT I would read.

I loved the Paper Doll story, too (although there were moments were I had to roll my eyes -- it felt too much like a soap opera). Anyhoo, the girl in my avatar was inspired by Irina xD

I really liked the Nightingale story-- it was a breath of fresh air from all the typical romance stories. It was about an evil twin sister. The writing was excellent. Too bad the author no longer continued writing it >__<

Whoa, thank you for that, Ms. Lukas, but I'd have to do a cost/benefit analysis before I did that. Would the skills learned and publicity gained be worth the time and energy drain from my (at least potentially) saleable work? There's also the factor that it would change my leisure gameplay. At the moment I'm using the game for fooling around with stories that are too loose or silly to work on; and enjoying the privacy to put things into the captions that I'd rather not pop up when a 10-year-old googles me for a book report. Never put anything online that you're not willing to see in print with your name under it. I'm not ashamed of anything I'm doing in the game, mind; but I'm not ashamed of anything I do with my husband, either, and I don't exactly want all of that googled, either!

Not to mention, I take crappy pictures. I'm not saying I couldn't be talked into it, but it would require a higher level of demand than I have any reason to expect to see.

Still, I was in post-conference letdown and you cheered me right up, so thanks!

WHAT!? She did? She stopped writing it? Man, that was one of the best stories I've ever read at the Sims 2 website.

Only story I've ever liked is the Paper Doll story

Here's a shameless plug and a necromance to boot:

I've just started a new TS2 random legacy, using some adapted rules from the TS3 version.
