Hi everyone, yep new to the group, but how I found this site was through an amazing sim story I read called "Adam and Eve" by Mrphoebe and he had this as an external link and I just HAD to come here and join. ;D I been playing the sims faithfully since Sims 2: Nightlife came out and you couldn't pry this game away from me, but i did dabble a bit with the sims 1 on console way back in 2004. I absolutely LOVE reading sims stories, and would LOVE to create a story of my own someday, but my only problem is I'll start them and I'm never can finish them because they end up being what I didn't want them to be or, I just get plain bored with mine. BUT one day I HOPE to write an amazing story like some of the ones I read and people like Mrphoebe and his story, and Aoxa-sim and her "Smith Family Legacy" inspire me every time. Oops dragged on for too long....should cut this short now...toodles

You can talk...er...I mean type as much as you want. And I LOVE that you EMPHASIZE your words. And welcome!!! I hope you can begin a story and post it for all of us to enjoy. I, myself, have problems with beginning stories and not finishing them, ask my many manuscripts, but I'm determined to one day enjoy the statements of "yes I wrote that" and "yes I finished it."

That's not too long! When I go to Sims forums looking for new stories to read, I actually look for long interesting intro posts. Shows that the poster likes words and likes writing and can elaborate on thoughts, so it means that they most likely write good stories. You will certainly find plenty of amazing stories in our story forum. When I first found Adam/Eve, I showed it to my beta reader for Valley and he was like "I'm seeing a clear Valley influence here." So, you know - if you liked Adam/Eve, you may also like In the Valley of the Sun. What? I can advertise in intro threads on my own forum! I do what I want! Doing what you want is very much encouraged here. Only rule is don't be mean. It took me five years of writing Sims stories to finish one, so I can identify with that. Sometimes it just takes a really long time and a lot of tries to find the right story, the right characters. And that's cool, because you learn more and get more practice with every attempt. The important thing is to keep trying and keep learning, and one day it'll happen. Yay I'm glad you found your way here! You sound cool and interesting and like you'll fit in and find some good things to read. And hopefully you'll share something for us to read.

Big welcome! If you're struggling to find a 'big' story idea, why not post something short to start? There's a whole bunch of interesting prompts in 'exercises' that might tickle your fancy - although if you just want to read stuff, that's cool too!
