Lurk no more...

Did you know that today is Delurking Day out there in the blogosphere?


 

That's right. So, let this be an invitation to anyone who'd like to introduce themselves and say hi. You know I'd love to hear from you. No pressure, of course, but you may as well delurk on Delurking Day, right? Come one, come all. Get a conversation started. I'm all ears.

This was a great day for me. I made some real progress on the next update, and there was RL good news all over the place. I was asked to interview for a job that had over 50 applicants and was pleasantly surprised to be offered another job that will stretch my experience significantly. I was also asked to be a bridesmaid in my "brother"s wedding this summer (actually a cousin, but we grew up together like siblings). I'd fully expect to win the lottery too, but I don't actually ever buy tickets.

Now, I should go out there and delurk too, shouldn't I?

I'm late to the party, but I'll delurk anyway. I found your story this fall, and have been hooked ever since. I love your story. While I enjoy reading many kinds of sim stories, from commentary legacies to carefully planned stories like yours(? I don't know how much you plan this, but it seems like you really do put a lot of effort and thoughts on this), I think your story really stoods out from the crowd. The way you write your characters is amazing, I just love it. You make them very "real" with strong personalities and all little details, and they all interest me in one way or another. I can't really name just one favourite character, but I like Jill, Buck and JRO probably the most. Your story has start to felt kind of "canon" to me - I've never played much with the Maxis neighbourhoods, and I doubt I never can, because your storylines have struck so strongly into my mind that it's hard for me to make my own...:D(Though I love Ripp so much that I have extracted him and have him in my custom neighbourhood as townie, lol.)
Keep up the good work, you're awesome! And I can't wait what happens next and especially can't wait to see JRO finally graduate! :D
