Sort Your Sims Ficfest Prompt #1

[mzyra]

There's a new ficfest thing at simspiration that Marina's hosting (apparently Marina=Simspiration in my mind) based on the Pottermore thing going around, where people can give you prompts for your sims crossing over into the Harry Potter-ish universe.

Prompt: Birch wants into Gryffindor because the colors look like grilled cheese.

Yeah. Now go do your dissertation, Jess! :)
Birch's reasons for Gryffindor = hilarious. The rest, though - yeah, turned out kinda sad. Same thing happening with your request, which somehow turned into some sort of mini-epic that stretches a bit past the sorting.

I need to do a spanish thing now that I've been putting off the past 2 hours or so, but yay for Birch and backstory! (Explains how he was so distant from his family when he hit college, for one.)

[mzyra]

There's always more work to do v.v
Hee, well it does kind of suit him anyway, but if you were (effectively) muggle-born and were distracted during the house explanations, you wouldn't have much more to go on :P But yeah, Birch's backstory is a little sad regardless, and all the more when this is happening at ELEVEN rather than eighteen.
Yeah, I'm writing the shorter prompt responses first - the Seth/Rodney one will have to wait until after my exams, I think. Interested to see yours!

My legacy begins to make sense for once! :D

[scribal_goddess]

Always. 3.5 weeks of school left and formal events everywhere, several of which I will simply not attend in order to preserve my sanity. :) I promise you won't have to wait the whole three weeks, I've got significant chunks of it written but it wanted to explain some backstory for some people. (Also, I had a major "do I know anything about my founder's backstory?" moment.)

[mzyra]

I seem to be so out of the uni society loop that I don't even know about events, though I would like to attend at least one ball this year if they aren't at the most inconvenient times :/
I find that you can often work out backstory from their current personality *prods Rodney as an example* :P

[lauriempress]

Awesome, Jess. But yeah now back to your dissertation!

[mzyra]

Thanks :P And it's a shame that advice still holds... *sigh*

[rosefyre]

Oh, Birch. Poor kid. :(

[mzyra]

Yeah. His family isn't as bad as they could be, but... he never feels like he fits in, and seems to be a spare wheel on the rest of them *pets him*
Thanks for commenting! :)

[katrisims]

Oh Birch. *pets little Birch* It was kinda sad. :( But Birch's reasons were awesome. :D

[mzyra]

Little Birch is so misunderstood *pets him* :(
But he is very predictable in some ways :P
