Surreal Darkness - a story using Sims 3 and Sims 4 scenery pictures to tell the story of the narrator and their friend, an entity known as the darkness.
Emo Pistols - a Sims 4 story about Seth Morrigan, a traumatized scientist reaching out to penpals in an attempt to heal.
Short Stories - a few stories with Sims pictures but mostly text-only shorts about fairy necromancers, Edgar Allan Poe as a zombie, murderous possessed Appalachian scarecrows, etc.
If I followed you and you’re here to check out your new follower and you’re not into Sims, my personal is deathlygristly.
I genuinely wonder if people realize how many projects get abandoned because the readership "wasn't there", when in reality, the readership just stayed silent. It's a big thing in trad pub that book series get discontinued because readers pirate the books or wait until the series is finished to buy a copy, leading the publisher to think that nobody actually wants the book enough to continue the series, but it happens with indie creators too.
I've discontinued a lot of free, online series because it's not worth putting 3-5 hours a week into posting a project for no readers. Sometimes I finish the series for me but just never post it again, other times I don't finish it at all because it feels more worthwhile to put my time into other things. Sometimes I hear from readers who are sad or upset that I didn't finish something they were liking, but the *reason* it never got finished is because I didn't know anyone liked it. If you like something, tell the creator, tell your friends, make some noise about it. If you would be sad if a story never finished, make that interest known because one of my biggest considerations before discontinuing a series is "will people miss this? Will I be letting people down" and 9/10 times, I come to the conclusion of "no, it doesn't even seem like anyone's reading this" only to learn after I've moved on that apparently someone was.
I've said this before in a different way, and this post said it so well. With real examples.
If you like something, tell people.
If you want more content from an artist or author, if you like their stuff, tell them. It will give them creative fuel to keep going. And often it gives them other resources as well.
Recommend a work to other people. Leave a comment or a review. It doesn't have to be long, just genuine, a sentence or two.
Not many people know that a book's success is judged by book reviews as well as sales. Review the book on Amazon or another site to help it pass the metric of success and be recognized by publishers and retailers.
I've been around this block a few too many times for comfort. I'm too old and tired to keep working it. I'm just gonna say: I think GoS and SimsArtists will be back in one form or another. I think very little will be lost. The number of people in this community who jumped on getting stuff up and running again is both heartening and not surprising to me.
I did not expect GOS to be back quite this fast, however. Thank you, @julessims and @fireflowersims! And thanks to HugeLunatic as well, for having done so much for the community over the years. And thanks to @teaaddictyt for doing communication for a community that is at the best of times like a bag of cats.
Anyway, after an MRI and a more detailed CT scan, in three weeks I'll have surgery to fix the holes in the bone between my ear and my brain.
I'm hoping that after recovery I might be able to go back to writing more, as the pulsatile tinnitus in my left ear might quiet down or even go away, and hopefully my brain will stop leaking through my left ear. :)
Bringing the simself back from the archives to celebrate Africa Week on simblr! My ancestors were stolen and trafficked from primarily Nigeria with about 40% of my DNA originating there.
If you didn't know it, it's possible to Rebirth a Servo.
They have a hidden Soul Journey, but no Bucket List, so the only way to complete it is by doing aspiration goals.
So Sage is having many many different experiences :D
I had a dream last night that all the Sims games were merged to be playable with each other, and my Sims 4 Sim went to a Sims 1 neighborhood and was having fun riding a Makin' Magic roller coaster.
To truly belong to the elite, you need talent, beauty, and brains. Akachi has it all. So why does she feel that life could offer her more and that she hasn't yet found her true purpose?
