@ #7 - Very characteristic - and quite charming, although sometimes annoying - character trait ;)

Only sometimes?!

Well, yes - since it's not in my game she's causing trouble ;)

Yay! This is awesome. I know exactly what you mean with regard to panicking, I had the same with the Strangetown characters I was tagged for - then as you start to write you realise just how much you known them and all of a sudden ten facts isn't even enough!

I love this, it's really indepth. You've totally opened Jess up and she's got so many facets to her character, it's fascinating! I like that there are quite a few 'opposing' traits too.

Oh and MAJOR thumbs up to what you're listening to, I'm a Faith No More obsessive! :D

Thank you! I worry sometimes that what I see in my Sims doesn't come across when I write about them (Annie especially), and I wasn't sure if the contradictions would seem silly. She really is that complex, though, and it's a real family trait - the Pole women have all had that 'mean-and-motherly' thing going on since Kate (it's the alien genetics, I think.)

Me too! My mp3 player's full of FNM/Mike Patton's other stuff.

This creates such a full and complex picture of Jess. It's always overwhelming to me to jump into a legacy in the middle, but I may have to go back and read it, just because I really enjoy how you write.

Oh, thank you! I should probably warn you not to expect my current style of writing all the way through - I started the legacy four years ago with completely different intentions, and it just got more and more plotzy as time went on. Don't let that put you off, though ;)

(I actually re-read the whole thing myself recently, and I found myself thinking 'did I write this?'. Not because I didn't like it, but because I'd forgotten about so many things. Totally weird.)
