-M: *jaw drops open*-
-J: Wow! He got this today?-
Yup. Thanks to Price of Fame, he has enough fame to win the big awards now. Simmies are given on how much fame you have, SimChoices on how many Anybody friends you have.
-M: Guess I'm not going to get a SimChoice anytime soon.-
It's just as well, as when you move you'll lose the Simmy.
-M: *pout*-
You can always win another one. You just need to keep your fame up there. Which is more than I can say for Jennifer.
-J: What did I do, mess up another modeling assignment?-
Nope. This is what happened: I used up the last cast of PoF on you. That made you a celebrity. You stayed home for a while tending to other things. I guess you were just on the brink of celebrity, so staying home for too long caused you to lose a star level. Down to Talk of the Town. I figured, okay, that's legitimate, she didn't exactly work hard for it. I promptly send her down to do a few modeling things. She does a swim model, gets it perfect on the second try. She gains fame.
She loses a star level.
-J: WHAT?! Wait a minute, I just gained fame!-
My thoughts exactly! I had you do a winterwear model, then I sent you home and gave you back your levels via the magic mirror! The first one I could take, but randomly bumping her down another after a successful model?!
-M: That's not fair at all.-
Precisely. Although now I'm worried that it might be like VioletKitty's "fourth cast." She did PoF with her characters, and one that did the fourth cast got a raw deal and couldn't gain fame. If that happens, Jennifer, you're going to have to switch jobs.
-J: Too bad. Oh well, I guess I got my 15 minutes. I did get a Bronze Figure.-
That's right. And hopefully things won't work out like that.
My Necon story was submitted. Doing a story in 50 words or less is tough. I don't know if I'll win anything, but at least I got to do it.
