Presently, I have four active Sims stories. They are as follows:
1. The Kingdom of Naroni

Companion blog at doviadiaries.blogspot.com/
I guess you could call this my "main" story. It's 268 posts long (albeit, most posts are on the short side) and will be celebrating its second anniversary near the end of October. Naroni started out as a Royal Kingdom Challenge, but since I was already InSim-dependent, I pretty much decided to use the neighborhood exclusively for storytelling as soon as the last of the founders were out of CAS. It seems a bit like an inferior version of Kingdom of Lothere at some points near the beginning, but it's evolved quite differently since the early days. This story usually gets a short update every second day or so.
There is also a companion "mini story", the Dovia Diaries, which features snippets from the younger days of the nobles. This blog hasn't been updated in ages, though one of these days I would like to add to it.
2. The Ashelia Trilogy

A fantasy trilogy in the making. I recently finished the first installment, Ashelia at War (75 chapters in three parts--again, shorter posts), and am now working on the second, Ashelia at Dusk. Much of A@W revolves around the relationship between two romantically unromantic characters during a time of war and racial discrimination. A@D takes place three years after the conclusion of the first installment and will be a considerably shorter work, serving as an interlude between the first and final works as well as dealing with the supernatural aspects of the overriding story arc. This story gets updated roughly every week, though not on any specific day.
3. In Fair Veronaville
infairveronaville.wordpress.com/
A completely Maxis-irreverent vision of the default neighborhood of Veronaville, set around the beginning of the 20th century. Mercutio loves Juliette, who has a thing for Romeo, who ends up having an affair with Tybalt, who is in a comfy-yet-boring marriage of convenience with his cousin Miranda. Hal disowns his horrible parents and attempts to reinvent himself under the guise of Dr. Henry Stratford. A depraved and lecherous Consort rules the backward town of Veronaville. Mysterious beings dwell upon a hill nearby.
4. Orbis Umbra
scrawlsandscribblings.blogspot.com/2010/06/orbis-umbra-table-of-contents.html
An urban fantasy set in an alternate future--the year is 3714 and Europe remains under the control of the Holy Roman Empire. The story began with a prompt for Sim Haven and has since taken off. The plot centers around Aurora Verchoux, a sixteen-year-old orphan who has inherited none of her famous mother's powers, seemingly much to the disappointment of everyone around her. The story details her days at a school for girls with abilities she herself doesn't possess, her love/hate relationship with the mysterious Achilles Scorpio, and the secret dealings of her uncle, eccentric billionaire Everard Lox.
Also hosted on this blog are various prompts for Sim Haven. I also take drabble requests, but they may take a while.
I also have a finished SimFic50 entitled This House is Vegas (thishouseisvegas.blogspot.com/). This story centers around a highly dysfunctional family living in New Jersey. The plot mainly centers around the cyclothymic, womanizing teenage hero and his alcoholic mobster-turned-tycoon father, with a supporting cast comprised of his estranged mother and older brother, his exasperated half-sister, and his young, gold-digging stepmother.
Anyway, all of my stories are written for adults, and all the basic warnings apply. Every once in a while, something particularly controversial/shocking will come up, but I try to put extra warnings on individual posts that may merit special consideration.
