Sara is EVEN BETTER at timewasting than me. She has made Sims out of all my characters.

(She would do a Verity if I let her. But really it would be somewhat indecent to be able to download the Sim before I finish the book.)

I pass along this meessage from Sara to mhari: "Tell her to upload hers. Hers are better than mine because she made them herself, I think."

Ugh, my children did that to my characters once, and then they put one of them into a tiny room with no doors. They are evil.

[ewein2412]

yeah, my kids are like that too.

That is SO SO awesome. Now I just need a Priamos so that he and Goewin can finally be happy together.

[ewein2412]

sara is working at it! he is *beautiful*. Our internet access has been down but she will upload him soon.

I tried that once, and got very frustrated that my Medraut and Turenesh characters wouldn't have a son with Medraut's hair.

I then made a family I was going to play through ten generations with all the daughters named variations of white/light. Also yours.

(I suppose I count as a home grown fan as well.)

i swear, someday I will rewrite The Oysterman's Opera and make it readable.

Have you read "Chasing the Wind" in Firebirds? (The first Firebirds.) It is partly about Lucy and Harry grown-up.

[tiboribi.livejournal.com]

Yes, I read "Chasing the Wind". You had an ARC of the first Firebirds around your house when I was visiting you, and I read it after I read The Sunbird.

As it is, having only read the first few chapters of The Oysterman's Opera and having been told more about how the story was going to progress, it is in my head like a novel I read once a long time ago. Which is kind of cool. I am reminded of it sometimes by random things, like tennis courts or rice pearls or watching my hands steam from washing dishes. I kind of like thinking of it as a half forgotten story.

Tell Sara that I am digging out my Sims disc, which I haven't done in ages. Goewin is lovely.

[mhari.livejournal.com]

Goewin is super pretty!

Alas I only have Sims 1, but when I finally get around to finishing mine I will certainly put them up!

[ewein2412]

sara is an admirer.

goewin has already been downloaded about a zillion times. I think sara needs to give me a bit more advertising space!

[mhari.livejournal.com]

I ... may have bought Sims2 while I was out today. I am going to blame your daughter, if that's ok with you.

[ewein2412]

hee hee hee. I have missed our mutually corrupting activities!

you know, what stopped me on DF (apart from general lack of activity) was that sara is in a new school and we all have to get up an hour earlier. I just COULD NOT do the late nights any more after about mid-august last year--just couldn't do it. I miss it.

[mhari.livejournal.com]

corruption for all!

that's okay, DF has pretty much died the death. it had a good run as internet rpgs go, BUT I can direct you to a place for further shenanigans, if you like. >_>

meanwhile, i have been meaning to bestir myself more -- I do appreciate the emails and so forth, an awful lot, I just have not had the spoons to reciprocate. ♥

my latest evil thing is Polyvore, which is a fashion site where you can make online collages. doing them for fictional people is ridiculously addictive.

here is someone you might remember.

[ewein2412]

oh, man, I love this chick so much.

[tiboribi.livejournal.com]

Fortunately for you, with Sims 3 being out, Sims 2 is probably much cheaper now than it was when I bought it. The evil time suck, though, that it will always be.

[mhari.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it only set me back about twenty bucks. (Of course, what I really WANT is Sims 3 -- I've test driven it, it's really keen -- but my computer isn't up to it even if I had sixty bucks to blow at a shot. Alas.)

[tiboribi.livejournal.com]

I was saving an Amazon gift card for it for a while, but then I realized that even if I upgraded my RAM I still couldn't use it on my computer, so I got something else instead.

[estara.livejournal.com]

So amazing what you can do these days. One question, I don't remember Turunesh as being a servant, but the daughter of an Ethiopian aristocrat. Am I messing things up?

[ewein2412]

no, that is sara getting her stats wrong. I did tell her and she said "oh well, people on the sims won't know that, will they."

[estara.livejournal.com]

Hah! Well, she should at least do links to your books page, if she won't correct the information.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Dear Sara: you are amazing. oh my lord.

[ewein2412]

I am not sure what inspired her, all of a sudden. She has been working on it all day.

cool!

[kendralsaunders.livejournal.com]

That's so cool! I never even thought of doing something like that for fictional characters. I bet that's fun to observe, especially if they do unexpected things haha. Story ideas!
