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?

Hi! I love the story. You really have a way with characterization, especially with the male characters and the way they interact with each other. I'm a woman who writes mostly about male characters myself, so I like seeing other women do it well, and other people in general who can write outside of their own experiences and points of view without being judgmental or lapsing into stereotypes.

Besides making me appreciate Strangetown more, you've inspired me break out the SimPE and put at least two Ripp clones in all my custom neighborhoods. I love his nose and feel compelled to breed the hell out of it at every opportunity, yet I also like to have a townie Romance Sim version of him running around freely, so I just make two. Family "Ripp" is happily married and currently alien-pollinated, and Romance "Ripp" gets heartfarts from just about everyone downtown, even in the previous neighborhood where he was turned into a smelly, surly zombie. :D
