I've been working on some stuff for upcoming chapters and I decided to make a header for the story directory, using one of the more amusing images I captured. It refers to an upcoming (and fairly pivotal) scene, which I was working on tonight, but I also think it works pretty well as a summary shot for the entire story.














 

Also, the story directory is pretty well up to date now, aside from chapters twenty-five and twenty-six not having blurbs (note to self: you really should do that one of these days). An anon commenter asked me about updating the directory a while back, so I just wanted to draw attention to it again.

I love the picture but I can't stop laughing at it for some reason. Maybe it's Ripp's expression.

Well, good, because that's pretty much what I'm going for. ;)

Consider yourself successful then. I had the same reaction as [livejournal.com profile] elizabeth_becks. It's really very Ripp. :-)

Thanks! Glad you think so.

And yes, I think it is indeed a very Ripp-like expression.

Best Ripp face ever. Don't you think?

Thanks, Josh. ^_^ (But what's this I hear about you maybe shutting down your sim journal? That makes me sad, but at least I can stay in touch through your other journal.)

I agree. I think it's the best Sim face ever.

Oh, you saw that at Simsecret? I've been mulling it over for a while now. (I always thought everyone would go before me, tbh. This is a little shocking.)

But yeah, I've just been thinking about it. I don't ever play the game anymore, I only download things I think look good for an EPL Sim, and I'm really still only involved to finish the story. I'm not going to let it go because I'm invested, but I have nothing else. I'll still read the legacies I REALLY like and your story, and maybe I'll do my Round Robin turn as my last hurrah, but I'm pretty sure I'm done.

Yeah, I saw it but you know how I am about having personal discussions in "public" like simsecret. I thought I'd wait until later.

That's too bad, Josh. But if you're not playing and enjoying it, then it makes sense. I'm sad to see people drifting away, but that's always the way. I'm surprised to still be hanging on as well as I am, to be honest. I had a real resurgence of enthusiasm in the story tonight and started shooting scenes, which is pretty cool. Must be all the nice free time I have now. ^_^

Hehe, Simsecret is very "open", isn't it?

*nodnod* I played a few weeks ago and I couldn't handle it. I stopped playing after like an hour.

That's great, ST! I'm wondering what this pivotal scene is about. I see Ripp is in it!

Hey! Where did all this free time come from? ;)

Yeah, it's too open. It freaks me out a little. That's why I don't even comment on it half of the time, even when there's a secret about me.

Of course Ripp's in it! It's a pivotal scene! XD Ripp is in almost every scene, don't you know. He gets into everything.

I have no idea! It's crazy. :P Well, actually I'm on holidays, but we haven't gone away yet (that's in a couple of days), and I'm just packing and cleaning up, so there's lots of simming time. I like it.

I agree. I very rarely say anything, but I was compelled to say that of all things. I don't know why.

HEY. Ripp wasn't in Bottom and Ophelia's scenes! But I know, he does. He's the main character, after all. :P

Oh, you guys must be so excited! The really hard part is after the move though-- where do you put this nightstand? Or this table? or the bed? It's going to be even more hectic.

I shouldn't talk, I'm home now too. I have two weeks until school starts, but I'm writing like a fiend. The current draft is 31 pages.

That's not true. He was in those scenes, watching from the bushes to see if they were up to anything besides drinking coffee. :P You just couldn't see him.

Well, that's true. but we hardly have any furniture to speak of, so it shouldn't be a problem. It'll be more like, "Ooops! We need s a nightstand... a table... a bed..." Heheh.

A draft? That's cool. What are you writing?

Date: 2009-08-18 02:33 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] smjosh1218.livejournal.com
Oh my goodness I thought you were serious and I was freaking out. RIPP IS A STALKER!

Hehehe, you guys seriously don't have any furniture? That's going to be even cooler, you get to buy stuff to decorate it.

I'm STILL writing Every Perfect Life Chapter 4. I write before taking pictures- which is necessary in this case because this is a party scene and needs to be shot at one time. I need to make sure I have everything I need before going in there.

I also started work on my Masterpiece, which is cool as well. it's not Sims related, it's ~Original Fiction~.

Ripp sort of is a stalker, but he's more like a needy puppy dog that follows you around.

Yeah, we really don't have much. It'll be fun to create our vision for the place from scratch.

Oh, wow. You're putting a lot of work into that. I'm sure it'll be good.

That's awesome. Good luck with it! ^_^

That's true. He's a harmless stalker.

I'm excited for you guys. Are guys going to do everything 50/50 with the decorating or will one of you be taking over most of it?

Thank you. I really hope it's good.

Thank you, ST!

Hmmm. Well, there's a (very) small chance that I could get really enthused and complete it this week before I head out of town, but more realistically, it will be sometime in September. I'll be out of town for two weeks, and then I'm moving, so it'd probably be the second week of Sept.

I am very excited about it now, though. I'd love to do it sooner.

ILU RIPP. Yep yep, his silly faces summerize the whole story. XD

And I don't think I've mentioned how much I love your directory, have I? There have been times where I've wanted to read things over, and that makes it sooo much easier to find. And link to anybody else who might want to read. ;)

And woo! Story update soon yes?

Hehehe! This isn't the first time I've giggled at a Ripp facial expression, he seems to pull them more... expressively (vocabulary FAIL) than any other Sim. Looks awesome, can't wait! :)

Thank you!

Thank you very much!
Whenever there is a new chapter of your story it brightens my day!
