I love it babe, it looks like it will be an intresting read.

Going by what was put here, my only grudge is ... there is a lacking of words, You know I love your writing style and I know its hard to find a balance between text and visual. I would honestly love to see bigger, fuller and longer sentences with this story.

You don't realise how happy I am to hear that!
[cuddles you tightly]

The chapters will be written in much the same way as A Strange Little Desert Town, though the image to paragraph ratio will be slightly higher. I'm aiming for a better balance between the two; this is write then shoot to match, rather than play & write as I go, in the hope that I manage to find that elusive pivot-point.

Thanks! I'm still on the hunt for good CC for this. It's rather hit & miss so far, but those wallpapers have to be one of my favourite downloads ever.

Yay Antares! He's brill! & is so very patient while i learn to utilise moveobjects, model poses, & reaction testers. Tonight's challenge - OMSPs.

Hahahhah!
I've spent the last few hours trying to find the supposedly invisible magisplay tray. [sigh] I finally have it though, which is a nice big step up for the evening =P

I'm going to fill my harddrives with images aren't I? Oh god.
LOL

Nice.

Any story that starts with aliens (and has good writing like this) is a winner.

Can I have some more, please?

Wow - thank you so much!
I have a couple of pages of scribble in front of me, chapter one is beginning to look more like a promise instead of a threat =P

I seriously love that icon. Totally sums up an entirely priceless moment of Seasonal brilliance.

All icon love should be directed to pixel_and_bean. She made that for me (I love the font).

This looks wonderful! The CC is fab! And don't worry, it took me a while to figure out where the freakin' invisible magisplay tray was too... well, maybe you didn't have my same problem and think that it was a comepletely new object, not a recolor from a shelf in OFB.

OMSPs are really awesome too. Although, sometimes I find them more tedious than I'm patient for. When I first got them, I would try to decorate every table and every counter with clutters of stuff. Now, it's just like... eh... I'll save them for when I just want to position a person in some way... if I really have to.

Anyways... more story! Yes please! Would you like me to put your name and user icon in the info? I wasn't going to put mine, because I'd feel awkward self promoting too much. But, you're allowed if you want! I'm the one who dragged you into this anyhow.

Thank you!

There isn't enough CC yet! [shifty eyes]
First off I was looking in the wrong place for the tray, it was advertised to be found in surfaces>misc but it isn't. It wasn't until I went through every catalogue in buy mode that I realised that maxis made a Magisplay tray (which of course, was in the section 5th last on my list to look in). And then I realised that I needed to reinstall CEP to get the recolour.

The stairs OMSPs are going to be great (when I have a set with stairs). And I'm sure once I have a few more characters on a set together the posing will be more far more useful.

Feel free to put mine in the user info - but make sure you put yours in there too! I was going to ask you why you hadn't =P

I REALLY REALLY do NOT want to put mine in the info... I'd feel like an ass for using a community I made for everyone to promote my own stuff too much.... I probably shouldn't feel that way, but I can't help it! I'll put you in though, I mean, simsforaranya is listed and she's technically a mod. :)

N'awww but it's good!
(& where did you get that bus you used in it btw?)

I wont push you to if you really don't want it there, but if you ever change your mind (like when there are a few more starting up) I think you will easily get away with it without seeming selfish at all.
