The War Years Saga – Behind the Scenes
Jul. 22nd, 2013 10:59 pmNow that I’ve had a bit of a chance to decompress from the epic war chapters, I figured it was a good time to post some behind the scenes/picspam stuff, to give you all a chance to understand a little better some of what I was thinking and why things turned out the way they did.

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a happy winter holiday, whatever you celebrate. I hope it's a happy one.
And now, for a Christmas present of sorts. There is someone I'd like to introduce to you today. It's the first member of generation 8, Nick and Alice's first born. If you don't want to know until the baby makes an appearance in the story, do not click on the cut. You will be spoiled.
( I'm serious. Click here and you'll be spoiled. You have been warned. )
Bradford Christmas Countdown - Day 5
Dec. 24th, 2012 10:28 amWell, seeing as how I did my counting in the middle of final papers and exams, I goofed a little. Today's photos were supposed to be for Christmas Day, as they contain a big surprise, so I had to do a little bit of an adjustment. Rather than a pairing from generation 7, today you get a peek at a certain couple from generation 6. So without further ado,
Welcome to the fifth day of the Bradford Christmas Countdown. As a reminder, these photoshoots may contain spoilers, so view at your own risk. Check the tags for more specifics.

Sort Your Sims Drabble #1
Apr. 20th, 2012 03:21 pmPrompt: James and Cindy waiting at home for an owl to see what house Nicky or Dotty and Danny got into from lauriempress.
Preface: Nick and the twins would probably be about 5 years apart in reality, if the stupid Maxis aging system made any sense. So, for purposes of this story, Nick is a 7th year and Dotty and Danny are heading off for their 1st year.
SimStoCreMo Drabble - Fireside Chat
Mar. 31st, 2012 10:12 pmLast drabble is done! And thus, I win CreMo this year.
Warning: Spoilers ahead. Well, sort of. I'm just following history here, so if you didn't see this coming shame on your US history teacher!

So....filming is DONE (yay!). I plan on working on the chapter tomorrow while I babysit my brother post-surgery, and since most of the chapter's written I might be able to get it done tomorrow.
But that's not what this is about. This is about a crazy idea I had as I was contemplating the fact that James is getting older. It takes place shortly before Nick and Alice's wedding. I guess it could be considered a spoiler, but I don't know if I'll actually use this in a future chapter or not.
( James has a dirty little secret... )

Drabble - War Concert
Mar. 21st, 2012 05:58 pmYet another drabble not related to the chapter, as part of my
simspiration goal. Can be considered a spoiler, as it takes place in the future. I'm undecided as to whether or not it will actually feature in a future chapter. Not my best work by far, but it did help me get to know Alice a little better.
