Hellooo ♥ It's been over 1 year since I published the previous chapter of En Pointe, and I have come to a (difficult) executive decision :< This is the final visual of the story; En Pointe will continue as prose, without sims screenshots.
My game has been throwing issue after issue the last 10 times I've attempted to work on Chapter 15, either by crashing or stuck on saving, and nothing I try is helping ;-; I've been in denial because it feels wrong for half of the story to abruptly go picture-less, but the only realistic path to finish En Pointe is by cutting the broken af game out.
I hope that the lovely readers who have been patiently following along will continue to enjoy the story without pictures! I will pair each chapter with Pinterest bits & bobs to help visualise the scenes, plus keep the word count easily digestable. Chapter 15 arrives soon—I will post a few compilations of my fave En Pointe visuals in the meantime ♥
