Update

Well again I shall start off with an apology to everyone that follows my stories. I'm sorry I haven't published any in a while.

Everything's just been SOOO hectic round here. It's not through lack of trying though, everytime I load the sims up to finish my stories something always happens!! As well as the last few days were I physically couldn't even sit at the computer due to severe back pain that's caused from some virus and also had minor surgery on my foot. Where I found out i'm some alien freak...because the local anesthetic, well the normal amount of anesthetic doesn't work on me, so I had to have the maximum amount that's able to be given and even then I could still feel it a bit. I think it's something like the anesthetic is supposed to take 2-3 minutes to set in and last for about 40-45 minutes, which is for the normal amount. I had the maximum dosage, it took 10 minutes to set in and only lasted for 5 minutes. The doctor said that he had read about what happened to me, but in all his thousands of these surgeries, I was the first one he'd seen. So you know, it's always nice to be different.

Anyway all that stuff aside now I have officially made it back to my computer chair!!!! I've really been focusing on my Tomb Raider story at the moment, with the Good vs. Evil story on the back burner. But I will finish the Good vs. Evil story, I just want to take my time with it so it will be as good as it can be, and I don't really want to finish it until I've finished off the Tomb Raider story. I've already completed 6 chapters out of 14,  so nearly halfway through it.

Anyway the game's about to start now if it hasn't already started. Collingwood vs. St Kilda...again!! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, it's the AFL which is Aussie football. Which is very different from other football. Not to mention it's the grand final! They did play the grand final last week but it was a draw, so they're playing again this weekend!! Which there's been a lot of controversy over because when it's a draw they're supposed to play over time, but the rule wasn't changed for the grand final. So people were annoyed that they had to play again the next weekend.

It's starting now so I must be off!! Be sure to look out for my stories in the next coming week/days.

Adios xox hope you all have a good weekend!!

Helloooooo!

Hey all,

First of all, a big apology to every, or any one that's been reading the 'Good vs. Evil' story. I meant to have the final chapter out AGES ago, but everything's just been against me lately. Also been trying to finish off 'Escape from Paradise''s final chapter. Ah what's with all these final chapters and not being able to finish them? I will finish them though.....eventually, I promise you that!

I'm going to start submitting some of my Tomb Raider story. Because it's already made and everything, it's just waiting to be submitted. But my first priority's are the story finals that I've got going at the moment. Which I'm going to try to finish after this.

Also want to finish all the stories because I'm getting a new computer, well I'm building my own computer. But I'll be changing computers and whenever that happens I always manage to lose some of my custom content. So I'm planning to have them finished before then, so I don't lose sims skins and then they look different.

Okay well I hope you all and/or anyone lol, had a good weekend!

Adios xox

Writer's Block Sucks!

Trying to finish off the very last chapter of 'Escape from Paradise' but have hit a bit of a block with it. I remember reading somewhere that 'writer's block doesn't exist, it's merely the inability to make decisions' but I tell you there are no decisions that can be made, hence why I've gotten stuck. So if anyone has ANY ideas at all for that story I BEG you to let me know, I really have no idea where to go with it.

As for my other story 'Good Vs. Evil' I know exactly where it's going thanks to a weird dream I had about it. It's going to be EXTRA long, and i'm thinking about making adding more to the story after I've finished it. Just like short stories with Dan and Henry, you know the bad guy plots something the good guy foils the plans and the world is saved, short stories like that. Let me know what you think.

I've also got my Tomb Raider story that I should really publish soon. The whole first 4 chapters are sitting on tsr, waiting to be submitted. I just want to finish and publish my current stories before I add more.

Oh i'm also thinking of writing up a legacy. I've been playing a legacy family at the moment, with Dastan as my main and favourite character. He's awsum! It's so fun when you play with just one sim for a while, you grow quite attached to them. Although I do find that it's not always a good thing. Because I start to think oh, he's getting old, he's been working on his career for a while now I think it's time he settled down and had a family. Then I try to find him a wife, and he meets some pretty girls, but once he starts dating them and the relationship gets high enough for him to propose I find the girl starting to get annoying, so he breaks up with her. He's gone through a lot of girlfriends. He had a baby with one of them, because of a hack I installed and I didn't realise she was pregnant. I let her have the baby though, because well, there wasn't really much of a choice. After the baby she became less annoying but I didn't want her to marry Dastan, and I don't think he wanted to marry her. They didn't have very high chemistry and whenever he kissed her or hugged her, he would screw up his face. Does that happen to anybody else?? I did find Dastan a wife however, I uploaded a snapshot of her. But it was really cute, he really liked her and she wasn't annoying. He kept making goo goo eyes at her, and he kept doing that swoon thing with a thought bubble of her above his head. He didn't do that with any of his previous girlfriends. Oh yeah, I've totally gone off track. I think I'll make it into a tsr story, although I've kind of said all the main plot elements. Nonetheless I think I will eventually. After all these other stories are finished.

I think I've got far too many stories ideas, I've got the two i'm actually writing at the moment (Escape from Paradise and Good Vs. Evil) I've got the story that's already written I just have to take snapshots for (Tomb Raider) and there's the legacy story I want to write about Dastan. Also an alien military conspiracy style story that I've started to write. Not to mention a post-apocolyptic story I'm thinking about starting and another about a guy on a day a disaster takes place and everytime the disaster happens the day restarts itself, so at the start of the day he knows what's going to happen and he keeps trying to save the world but every time it ends with it's destruction and he goes back to the start of that day again and tries to convice people what's going to happen but nobody will listen to him. I got the idea from COD, because I was playing it and I got ambushed and I had to get to the landing zone, but no matter what way I tried to head I kept dying then I would get respawned back at the start. So tell me what you think about my restarting day disarster idea, if it sounds worth making.

Story Update

Hey fellow simmers,

Just stopping by to say that i'm working on the final chapters of the two stories that i'm doing at the moment: Escape from Paradise and Good Vs. Evil. They're both going to be extra long! The only problem is trying to find the time to finish them off, but it shouldn't be long.

After these stories are finished I shall submit a new one for all you of to read and tell me what you think! I've got a couple of chapters of the story completed and ready to be submitted and the rest of it the story is already written up all the way to the end. Which I've never done before. It's fun you know, to know how it all turns out. There's 14 chapters all together! and I can't wait for you all to read them.

So I must now be off now, to write, to take snapshots, and to send my legacy sim to prison! Their lives have been far too easy lately, and it's about time for some hardships; and if you think about it, the longer you spend as a criminal, the closer you become to getting caught. So because Dastan didn't change his career when he got married, now he must go to prison. His poor wife and baby will be left alone. Hmm...maybe I'll move in his wife's mother. Yes that'll work. Anyway I shall upload some snapshots of my legacy family!

Story Info

Ha ha ha ha ha haaaa....

Well just published Chapter 5 of Good Vs. Evil!! Even with all its problems. I had to remake every character! Well except for Jacque, for some reason she didn't go maxis when some of my cc went missing. But all the other characters had to be recreated, but there's not much change in them though because the base sim that I made them from was still in my sim bin. Even with that though, I made 4 different versions of each sim. I wanted them to be exactly the same. But I guess that's just my inner perfectionist coming out again. The only character that doesn't look like she did is Jane. But I tried to recreate her as best I could from scratch and hopefully we won't notice it as the story progresses.

Hehe now, to tell you of my other stories!!

Escape from Paradise, is still being written! I haven't discontinued it I promise. It's just been a bugger to write, not because of writer's block but because of the chapter not wanting to stay written!! But I have made copies and backup copies and copies to the backup copies and copies for those as well. So I won't lose it again. I've finished writing the chapter and it's sitting in my unpublished stories. I just have to add screenies, and i'm half done with that. So soon so very soon Chapter 5 will be out for Escape from Paradise. There's just some recreating to do with the sims in that story because my stupid favourite skin tone had to go and disappear on me. But anyway, i'm sure we'll all get over it.

Now I have 2!! new stories that should be out soon. They're just sitting in my unpublished stories area. One is a kind of Military story, I won't give too much of the story line away, but it focuses on Ryan Kravecki, his life. Then cuts every now and then to the bigger Military story line. So it's called 'Military Operations'.

The second story, I'm planning on taking my time with. Like really taking my time, there's a lot of big open spaced scenes in it that requires a lot of time to create. Especially this one that I've been working on, that wouldn't let me put a wall around it to enclose it!! But that's all good now. Anyway, I've been telling you how much time I'm going to take and all about the scenes and I still haven't told you what it's about. So here it is, I've based it on the Tomb Raider game. Lara Croft. I wanted to make it into a sim story as well as working on my writing in the more actiony genre. So the storyline is, (for all those people that don't know what Tomb Raider is, or those that do but want to know the story line) it's about Lara Croft, an archaeologist/adventurer that goes in search for the lost Scion of Atlantis. Well, for all 3 parts of the Scion. Which are hidden deep within different locations.

So that's basically all the story info I can think of at the moment. I'm working on the next chapter of 'Good Vs. Evil'. Finishing up the chapter for 'Escape from Paradise'. Trying to get past my writer's block with 'Military Operations'. And finally trying to get a head start of 'Tomb Raider: The Scion of Atlantis' with all the time it's going to take me, I want to get a head start on them so there's not big huge periods of time between each chapter. So I've completed chapters 1 and 2. I'm just working on chapters 3 to 6 at the moment. I've written it all, I just need to get the scenes and screenies together.

I hope you all enjoy my stories to come as much as I enjoy writing them :) and have a safe and happy weekend!

Au Revior! Adios! xox

Something Always Goes Wrong

Oh my gosh!

If it's not one thing it's the other. I went to continue writing my stories the other day, so I tried to load sims 2 up. And that day of all days it decided it didn't want to work. I'll click on the icon and then the cursor will change to the spinning disc and then nothing. I watched the process of the game and just before it gets to 45,000K it just disappears.

Needless to say I was annoyed. I tried everything I knew to get it to try and work again, but nothing prevailed. My only option was to unistall the sims and then install it again and hope that that fixes everything. So I starting backing up my neighbourhoods which took 4 hours! Literally no over-exageration - my computer's slow - and I also moved all my custom content, which is easily in the thousands. And that took a while too. But I think I've found that it wasn't entirely the sims's fault, because my computer's been having problems and is extremely slow. So it's going to be wiped. All of it! Well except for some files that I'll put on an external hard-drive of some sort. But with all the frustration of this computer, (and the fact that it's shared) I'm going to buy my own computer. That will be all mine! I can't wait! My sims are going to look soo clear! Not to mention Call of Duty 5! I can't wait to play that game. Anyhoo with all the waffling stuff I mean to say that my stories are going to be delayed AGAIN! Until I get my new computer and install the sims 2 on it.

Anyhoo I hope you all are well,

I'm Back and Writing

Hey all,

Wow....haven't been around for a while, sorry bout that I've been so swamped with all this stuff from exams to TAFE courses which sadly meant that I couldn't write the next chapters to some of my stories that I've been wanting to finish off. So hopefully I can do that now..ish because I've got some free time. So Escape from Paradise and Good vs. Evil should be out soon, I left you all on a bit of a cliff hanger for Good vs. Evil, whoopsi I wasn't expecting to get so swamped.

But I'll get those stories done and hopefully out in the next couple of days. On top of those stories my minds been going crazy thinking up two more stories....so much thinking I've been dreaming about them. That was a really weird dream I remember going 'No! that's the wrong cover!' then I got paranoid that I hadn't saved the cover I created. But I did. So all is good.

Anyhoo, i'm off for lunch. Having some weird chickeny, taco-y rice thing....I don't know it's real name but it is AWSUM! and the microwave just beeped and I can smell it. I think the smell went in my eye, it hurts. Can smells attack eyes? Well there's something to ponder whilst I have lunch.

Hope you're all well! and looking forward to reading what you think about my stories...when I publish them!

Adios cada uno

Ramble Waffle Ramble

Greetings people,

I just felt like rambling so what better place than a blog.

Now my mind has gone completely blank of things to ramble about....

Oh you would not beleive!! How many times I've written Chapter 5 for Escape from Paradise. Somehow every time I write it something happens. I wrote it in the sims game....the game crashed and I lost it. So I re-wrote it on tsr, but didn't realise that if you didn't attach a snapshot then you lose everything you write when you click save. So after a while, of the 'aarrghhh this is so annoying' factor I decided to re-write the chapter in my notebook...on real paper. My logic behind it was my notebook wouldn't crash, and how could you possibly go wrong with writing it on paper? Worst rhetorical question ever! I took my piece of paper and sat down on the computer to type it into tsr...with snapshots this time. But my sim game wasn't working so I couldn't get the snapshots. So I thought, it doesn't matter I'll come back after I've fixed the game. But then I thought well I might lose the bit of paper I wrote it on and thought I should type it into word and then I'll have 2 copies of it. So I did and I saved it. Then thinking I didn't need the piece of paper anymore I scrunched it up and chucked it to my dog. The chapter had caused me soo much time! and I was glad it was written and on the computer. BUT....I went on the computer the next day and the computer was spazzing out. I fixed it and went to retrieve my saved word document and couldn't find it anywhere. Because the computer was spazzing when I 'saved' it, it didn't save properly. So I lost the word document and my paper was now long gone. And that leaves me to where I am now. I'm rather frustrated with the story 'Escape from Paradise' so I really don't know when I'm going to have to patience to try and re-write the chapter again. But hopefully I'll be able to get it out soon. Fingers are crossed.

In the meantime between the other story and creating objects I do in my free time, I've started making a movie! Not a movie movie, but a short series of video clips from the sims 2. Which I shall eventually post up on youtube! TSR seriously needs to have videos on it. So people can publish sim movies! But trying to get myself familiar with the movie making world! Finding new buttons in the sims game that help....like when you're in camera man mode to mark different spots. So you can slide between positions easier....I forget what the button was. Damn...I've really forgotten.

I'm also trying to write a tutorial, for making stories with the sims 2. Tips and what not, also some basic stuff for noobs. So hopefully that'll be done soon too. And fingers crossed it'll be better than my last tutorial. But I did write that one when I was still learning the whole process, and now I have a much broader range of tips and what not.

Anyhoo, hope you all had a happy fathers day!

Adios xox

Story Deletion....or Discontinuation...

Umm...the story known as 'Theft & Prosperity' has ceased to exist and will not be continued. Sorry Nat! If you happen to read this. Escape from paradise on the other hand, will get completed....one of these days. I'll also be posting a new story aswell, it's called good vs. evil, I've uploaded it to the site, I just have to submit it. But I wanted to have Escape from Paradise finished beforehand.

Hope you all enjoy your weekend! :D

Adios xox, ck.

Stories - Mwuahaahahaaa

Hey all people that might happen to read this. Just wanted to say that I haven't forgotten about my other stories 'Escape from Paradise' and 'Theft & Prosperity' I was planning on posting the next chapters earlier today. But then I had a doctors appointment, and after nearly passing out I've been a bit woosy all day. Passing out is a weird experience.

So anyway just wanted to say that I'll be finishing off these stories with a few more parts. Don't worry I shall do the endings about as much justice as my mind will allow, so hoping it will have a better day tomorrow :P. Although it seems to be at the moment, jumbled with story ideas! So anyone that's looking for an already thought of and planned out idea, feel free to ask and pluck one out of my head, I can't do them all :).

Adios xox,
