I was reading a thread about how to make great sim stories, and thought that a thread on what stories are great would be good/helpful. I don't read very many, as I'm not willing to slog through boring and stupid to find something good to read. However, I would like to read more good sim stories, and I'm sure everyone has favorites. The only one I read is a melodramatic Buffy the Vampire type soap opera called Deception Pass. Good characters, lots of drama, great pictures, and the key ingredient - Sims I can tell apart just by looking at them! :D http://www.deception-pass.com/ there is a link to their livejournal up there now. It is ongoing. |

I read Jennys Lana Logan Legacy here on S2C, and also read Omerta. I have wanted to read more, but havent gotten there yet. |

Does anybody read mine? It's funny and has vampires.  I know, shameless plug. Personally, I love starwyn's "The Sims Way of Life" it's hilarious too. :D

Nothing wrong with shameless plugs Ana. I ahve one here too, that I think is geniusly funny, but I'm not that picky about what I read, anything to procrastinate on my homework, lol. But I specifically like oceanborn's Dark reign of Ixindrennan, and Alcinoe's Left in Lunaville. My two favorite lesser known ones. And of course, SilentPsycho's Noir Arachni. |

The Lambert legacy is excellent. http://forums.sims2community.com/story.php?p=1038153 It has pics and captions - ant that's it - no boring rants and cliche turn of events - and best of all no teen angst. It doesn't get updated as often as I would like - but when it does - it's worth it

Thanks for the rec. ani, the Lambert legacy is exactly right. I'm usually not looking for sims novels, so this is great. :D And it's funny. And JadeElliot, thanks for the Broke Legacy rec. I love it! So creative! |

I'm rather picky about what I read; it actually has to be a story that just happens to have pictures. Not a sentence or two describing what's going on in the pictures. And the writer needs to have a good grasp of grammar and spelling. I also like a good plot that hasn't been done fifty thousand times. Oh, and the persons sims can't be too realistic or ugly. So, um, yeah, picky.  I'll give a peak at what you guys have linked. Here's what's in my subscribed threads: Homegrown by aryxa <- A little slow going, but a good read none the less. Noir Arachni by SilentPsycho <- Funny, good pictures, and updates semi regularly. Children of the Night by annachibi <-Semi violates my rule of sentences only describing the pictures, but it's so damn funny! :D And I have a few more, but the site they are on seems to be down. |

You are welcome, chaotess. The Broke Legacy is one of the most creative and pleasant sims stories I have ever read. Definitely in my top three. |

Does anyone read mine? The Doings of the Vinestra Insane Asylum? Bit of a change from the endless supply of black widow stories. Not that they aren't excellent. I'm going to smile, recommend Left in Lunaville again and leave before I put my foott further in my mouth. Read my story! |

I don't read many stories, but I have read The Little Things made by boolPropped. http://forums.sims2community.com/showthread.php?t=39299 I really liked it. It's not way too long (that's what bothers me so much in most of the stories, they're just going on and on...) and the pictures are great. |

Jenny's Lana Logan Legacy here at SC2 is fantastic, it's much more than just a legacy, hell she ain't even started another generation, it's great. I love both Lana and her sister Laura, they're so like people I know that I can totally relate to them. Simsagas's one, it was here a while ago and is featured here too. Can't remember the name but the stories were great and it was so fun watching the characters grow. I also love bP's fics, all of them are really good. All really different but they all contain his voice. One that sticks in my mind is the Poverty Challenge, that was interesting to read. |

I loved bP's The Little Things and Unborn Dreams, and I've started reading Jenny's Lana Logan Legacy, it really good so far. I also like Deception Pass. |

I love Strangetown, Here We Come. Story is great, characters and conflict really deep and a plot that can't be done by some random 12-yo on the Exchange. Most of all, this story made me to play Strangetown (at that time, I exclusively play Pleasantview) On the other side of the pond, I also follow one story in TSR (Cassandra's search for Bella by Jubilant), a really good story as well. http://pleasantview.simtv.co.uk/ This is also a good story, although it's more on a sitcom setting. Mostly, I read stories about the Maxis sims, but I read other stories as well. |

SilentPsycho's Noir Aracnhi - Just read it, and you'll know why Derange & SSChan's Omerta: Code of Silence - I've started getting into the mafia stuff because of their story. Seriously, their story is top gun! Another shameless plug... Has anyone read my story? It's in my sig, anyways. It's called The Spirit House. I know, not a creative title, but still... |

I like "The Sims Way of Life" And although it hasn't been updated for eternity and a year, "unlucky" It's probably on the last page. I also have one called "The Stories of Princess Selena" |
