I don't see any reason not to post a text-only sims story. I've seen other examples out there, and I've even read some of them. Just say it's text-only in your post and people can decide for themselves.

Or maybe I could do photos for it, based on thumbnails you give me? After all the drawings you've made for me, I would gladly do that.

I also really like your take on Pleasantview. It's dark and interesting and plays around with the story in a unique way. I'm pretty fond of the idea of a foreign Kaylynn. I'd never considered it, but it really works.

Snarky Ripp is so perfect. <3 Again I will say how much I love how you butch him up. He is really "pretty" in some ways, so I can see why people always seem to make him more femme, but he also has those really manly features (which become more obvious if he has a daughter - yikes!). I just can't picture any of the Grunts as being delicate little things either. They have been bred for bulk!

LOL at Ripp naming the baby Little Ripp. But he doesn't even like that name himself. I think he'd want to name it something really normal and pretty (though really Phi is going to name the babby with very little outside input - I already know the name, either way).

Yeah, I think I'll just do it. I'm still really proud of it and never really shared it anywhere, so I'd love to advertise it just a bit.

Nah, don't sweat it. I'm not even sure I'd want pictures in it. Like, I didn't write it with the visual in mind really and I think giving it a solid visual form would maybe take away from something?

I really love twisting things into darker forms. And PV is a breeding ground for drama.

Haha, at this point I find it really hard to not see him as a big hairy mess of manliness. Like, he's a big softie, but he comes across as sort of really earthy and solidly male in looks. And the short hair really suits him.

XD. Yeah, I know he hates his name and I was thinking that the whole time I was drawing it, but I gave Phi that ridiculous face so obviously he's said something completely insane. Awww, I love that Phi is totally taking control of the baby naming. Maybe Ripp can name a later baby? My parents did that. Mom named me and Kayla and then finally let Dad name Emily. Dan's name came out of nowhere. Before they left for the hospital, they were set on naming him Joshua. And then he was born and apparently didn't look like a Josh? My dad told the nurse that they were naming him Harrison 'Harry' after Harrison Ford, but he was totally joking and they finally settled on Daniel.

And either Kayla or I was named after someone from a Soap Opera.
