OK, so I've been MIA for a good few months now. I'm a college student, an aspiring robotic-ist actually... And the new semester started up late August and as life hasn't been that pleasant to me the last few years, to make the story short, it is pertinent that I dedicate what time I have to my studies... Especially since I'm in a class that will make or break my degree. *thumbs up for life* Good news, I'm kicking it's ass so far and I'm somehow pulling my RL together pretty well. The other reason I haven't been online at least every now and then is that mid-August I started a relationship and find myself rarely home. Seeing as I've had to contend with a desktop system, that means I was without regular computer usage until I could afford a laptop for my classes (so totally needed one...!). He didn't have a router so internet was restricted still. Meh, I needed that time for studying anyways. (I've literally had my head in the books learning Operating Systems for the last 2.5 months, lol. So, I have interwebs at his place now and wanted to let you all know I do plan on continuing my stories. Just not until I have time to dedicate to them again. I'll be working on stories gradually so they might get updated infrequently. (thankfully I have a decent backlog of screens to work with)

Do not lose hope! ;)

Haha, I ended up getting distracted from writing again... Last time it was Game of Thrones and josei manga, this time? Sailor Moon fanfiction, lol. I've got a thing for Usagi/Serenity x Mamoru/Endymion pairings. I'm a sucker for the Mature fics, they're like my romance novel fixes. Yeah I know it's a bit creepy, but I can't help but turn all fangirl while reading them. I literally read them for 4 days straight. So, I have to give a shout out to Lady M. Harris and Princess Destiny for their amazing skill at writing smexy-ness. 

But aaannyyways~! I'm almost done with the first chapter in my new story. I've edited all the images and I'm finishing up the writing. It's in first person atm, and it starts off really slow so not sure how entertaining the first chapter is going to be, but she'll live an interesting life. I'm starting her off as a teen though... It's necessary for her to get her view on men and relationships. 

I should be done writing tonight or tomorrow after I follow up on my interview call.

 Ok, so I feel the need to apologize a bit... I'm probably going to start slacking on The Madisons! soon... I slacked a bit before due to wanting to watch Game of Thrones now that the season is over. Can't wait for next year, btw~! I'm also keeping up with True Blood regularly, but that hasn't been an issue yet.

On top of that I'm looking for a job (which I have an interview Monday~!) and hopefully I get it so that isn't going to help much... But now, I've slipped back into my manga obsession. I've been an avid reader since high school... I even learned Japanese so I could read the near 500 imported volumes I own. I've grown out of most shoujo, but josei has got a strangle hold on me like no tomorrow and I just happened to find a few scanlated series... (They're harder to find translated than shoujo.)The hunt has begun with that. And then there's the Wheel of Time series I've been wanting to re-read. So... There's a chance I may not update regularly in the near future... *cough cough* Well, I should say a chance that updating will slip my mind. (curse my attention span...)

Thankfully I am midway through with the first part of Audrey's story. I've gotten myself sucked into it so I'll probably pop out a few updates on that while slowly doing The Maisons! 1.7... The adorables that are her children have me held hostage. That and the creating of masterful templates for their profiles and such. (I'm a graphic fiend...) I need to make a dag-gone list so I remember though... Anyways, I'm dropping this here now in case I disappear off the face of the Earth, which I tend to do subconsciously...

Anyways, because I've reverted to my manga obsessed fandom, here~! <3

Warning: monotony, some woohoo and awkward moments

( Brace yourselves...Collapse )

 I'm working on the next The Madisons! update, right? Well, I roll out my second set of screens to see if I want to lengthen the update or not and the amount of them left reassures me that I'm not being too bad at carrying out this story until I go to my screenshots folder in The Sims and notice there's like 1000 or so images missing... WHAT?! Oh dear god... I was wondering why there weren't that many birthdays... They were all forgotten and left behind. This generations is going to hit the double digits... There are some 2100 images now to sort through and condense. Dear God help me. Well there is a lot of kids... Like a LOT. (I'm going to miss these guys as I catch up story-wise, I can see that now.) *dies for multiple reasons*

I hope you guys don't mind having like 15 chapters.... I mean I could condense, but the teen years are just...  THE BEST. And I want to include every kid in the poll even the upcoming ones. (Yes there are more children coming...) And I need to stop ranting because I'm starting to spoil... Please say you won't mind the lengthy generation...*begs*

 I'm just gonna say one thing... Audrey is making me feel like a Sim!Whore... and a future Sim!Pimp-Daddy, too... I'm going to hate myself for putting other people's Sims through her havoc, lol.

Adding numerous Crescendos (kittenmittons ) and Storms(visionofvim ) to the list....  I can't decide which ones to put in so I think I'm going to end up defaulting to putting in the majority of a generation.... >___< I'd like to add siouxpergirl 's McGuires too, but sadly can find no DLs... Oh, the horrible things that may happen to them...! OMFGWTFBBQSAUCE!!!!! I AM A SIM!WHORE!!! (just snagged like 6 Crescendos and 9 Storms without noticing....)

 I am slowly catching up to my save point in The Madisons! which is stupendously awesome, BUT I wanna play and I honestly don't want to play with them until I get a heir poll up and going... I've been playing around and making Sims in the mean time, as you can see my Sim Kids for Diversity submissions. Well, I created a Sim that I absolutely adore and have been inspired to try a new legacy with her... Her name is Audrey Fullens, and she is just adorable! Her character I created for her makes me want to start her as a founder. Well, you can meet her!


Ain't she just a PYT~? Audrey is a girl who loves her some fun time filled with partying it up to amazing music. Having some cute boys around is always a plus, but don't expect her to get too attached... She loves boys, but it's rare for one to capture her interest for very long. Consequences don't really justify much (thus the klepto-tendencies) so she's bound for trouble, but oh well! It's nothing a drink and a quick WooHoo won't fix, right? Guess what her LTW is? Heart Breaker, lol! This is going to be one dysfunctional family...

I'm gonna plop her down into a new custom world named Legacy Island (I just found it), but I want to have a diverse Sim pool for her to choose from... So, I need some suggestions on who to plop in town with her. Legacy Island has some townies already but I want to make sure there's some unique and flattering Sims (Audrey is fairly superficial and all about fun after all...), SO I need some help... 

Now I do need mostly guys but I'm not beside hooking Audrey up with girls so they are still welcome suggestions. Not all will be used, but variety is always nice to have to choose from. Here are some of the Sims I've already considered to plop in with her (probably at various times)...

• Elle & Topher Beckett from beckett_legacy 
• Some of the Maddox kids from setter101  if I can get my hands on them <3
• Rowan & Linden Marlen from simtopi <3
• Bjorn T.B.Wilde from katu  (pixel_trade)
• some of the Mrmpfles from simmply_anna 
• my Sims Kids for Diversity

But, I'm starting to think I'm not good at this diversity thing, lol! You halps me? Pwease!  Any suggestions on Sims will help.
