Future plans
Hello everyone who read, commented, waited for me to continue... I had problems managing my time, I had problems with my monitor... I wasn't in the mood... Many things put me away from writing, but here it is finally! 11th part of Strangetown Chronicles is already uploaded and waiting for approval. As you will know from reading it too, I'll be away traveling in August and if I don't manage to release another part until then you'll have to wait till some time in september. And the 12th part will be the last one for now, if I manage to fit everything in it, as it is planning to be a little mysterious and will probably leave you wondering about some things...
Why is it going to be the last (but just for now!). I played my Pleasantview for 50 days in each household keeping careful tracking of everything happening and it took me 12 parts (+intro) to get it done. Now I'm done 45 days in each household in Strangetown and I have released 11 parts (+intro) so far and it would be great if I can stop with the 12. What next? I don't know yet. I'm not sure what may strike my mind... Maybe I will get back to Pleasantview. Maybe I will continue Strangetown. Maybe I will start Veronaville or some other neighborhood. I don't know what might strike my mind and what will seem to be the propper one to play. Either way I'm planning to make them all this way (50 days) and then they will return in a slightly different title - "Pleasantview 50 years after" or something similar (same with Strangetown and all others). I will make a new intro that will briefly fill you in on what happened in those 50 years and what is it like now, so that any new readers out there can start reading it without feeling lost, fully understanding everything. And the story will then continue. My personal goal is to play all six neighborhoods at least 100 days each. But who knows, maybe it will not be enough and I will do more... Either way, that's in a very distant future so far.
As for those who read my legacy... I'm sorry I have abandoned it so much. But it's not lost, it's still in my game and maybe I will need a break from my complicated neighborhood stories and I will come back to it. I quit it because I had problems with that big lot and my computer speed, but it's better now and I should try again. I started a legacy in TS3 (The Sims 3), but I quit it... I just don't like that game. As much as I try, it contradicts everything that I loved about sims. Maybe some day I will make up an interesting theme for a legacy and make it in TS3 and share it with you all. But that is highly unlikely. Though I'm planning to lay my hands on some creating in TS3, but that's also no promise, just some hopes. And I always hope to do this and that and that and oh that of course too and then there's hey, where did the time go?
So that's it for now, I just wanted you to know that I am still alive, still playing, still writing, still full of ideas just too busy to make them all a reality. Thank you all wonderful people who stayed with me, read and commented everything and who even became friends through this site. It's a great place to share stories. I like it here. It makes it worth not giving up.
