Sim_mania challenge entry + simsecret

I posted an entry for the latest challenge at [profile] sim_mania, if you want to check it out.

Also, check this out... Someone made a simsecret about me. That's pretty cool, but also way less fun than I imagined it would be. That's always the way, isn't it? There's a certain giddy thrill to realizing that someone has written your name on the wall of the highschool washroom, but then you realize that the rest of the sentence says, "...is a slut." (This may or may not relate to an actual event in my life.) Well, what are you going to do? I probably am too obsessed with these characters. I won't deny that. I think I have gotten too caught up in it all, really. It's probably unhealthy. (I'm also feeling that the fact that I've been posted about in a sim secret community might be a sign that I need to return to the real world. I really have fallen down a nerdy rabbit hole, haven't I?)

As for the second part... they must have started reading a different story, since both Jaxy and Ripp still swear like sailors. I don't think I really cut back on that much, if at all. *shrugs* They swear. Some people do. It's not all about them being "bad ass" (though that is a factor, for sure).

I keep intending to submit a simsecret, but I always forget or have trouble coming up with an idea. I considered making a joke secret about the simstorytellers comm, since it's so drama-free, but it never really came together. Maybe next time, I'll think of something.

ETA: I probably won't respond to any of these comments for a while. I have a busy day ahead of me.

Then again, I have had 40 years of my fandom rattling about in my head.

Doctor Who, by any chance? Or are you just referring to how long you've been a fan, rather than the time the show's been running for?

No, I am a new convert to Doctor Who (though I probably saw at least the Tom Baker and Peter Davidson episodes go by since I had a friend who loved them. My true fandoms are Lord of the Rings and Man from UNCLE, both of which came into my life in 1963 when I was 11.

Aha! So it was the latter after all.
