SilverBelle's Stories

Chapter at last!  Feel free to comment here, if you are so inclined.

Ta da!  Feel free to comment here or over at Boolprop.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

What's been going on, you ask?  Life.  Since starting my new job (which I love and is awesome, btw), I've had to readjust to working full time and using the weekend to recharge.  Counseling is demanding, and I'm pretty sapped by the end of the day.  Needless to say, it's not left me much energy for creativity.  I haven't abandoned the Sims entirely; I've got an uberhood that I'm messing around with for fun, as well as a Victorian RKC themed 'hood that I'll probably share the storyline from at some point.  But I realized the other day that I missed the Bradfords.  So, I pulled out the half-written next chapter that I've been poking at for the better part of a year (still can't believe it's been that long), and opened up Simsfield for the first time in what feels like forever.

I have a few pics to share behind the cut.  They are presented without caption; infer from them what you will.  I hope to have this long-in-progress chatper out soon.  Steven is so close to going to college, and therefore meeting his wife and all that, which means generation 9 is *thisclose*.  I want to finish telling this story that I started on long ago.

And now for that cut...

Prompt: The civil rights movement (lilycobalt)
Characters: Peggy Bradford, Alice Bradford
Rating: G
Summary: Peggy decides to champion a cause.
Notes: Canon-ish, which means this is a direction I’m going, but not 100% sure this is the path I’ll take to get there.  Peggy is about 17 in this drabble.

Word Count: 317


( Drabble behind the cut. )

Prompt: Sakura and Danny and their kids on a visit to Japan (penguingirl03)
Characters: Sakura Bradford, Danny Bradford, Susan Bradford, Michael Bradford, Jonathan Bradford
Rating: G
Summary: What the prompt says.
Notes: Canon.  This will probably only ever be a picspam (I do plan on sending this family to Takemizu at some point), so this is an outtake.
Word Count: 334
