crossover_chickI was hoping to see Kackie's with the fan fiction article, but I only found December ones. *shrug* Oh well -- I can read the tips and see about writing some original fiction as well as my BTTF stuff.
-VD2: Couldn't you put one chapter up tonight or tomorrow and save the rest for Friday?-
*thinks it over* Well, maybe. Probably not tonight, but tomorrow.
-VD2: Thanks. I just hate waiting for you between updates.-
*huggle* Well, I hope to finish "World of Light" by the end of the year -- a tad ambitious, but if I keep to typing stuff every day. . . .
-D: How'd things go with "Reality Check 2?"-
I found another May date that worked better and that I could find some stuff close to. Now that I'm past that roadblock, the story's flowing again. *grin* I love when that happens.
Sims was fairly tame. I played some Sizolad and moved in the Danamons. I wanted to play a family with a toddler, but they're just not -- clicking with me. *frown* I don't feel excited for them.
-D: Doesn't sound like a good sign for them.-
Unfortunately, no. I did notice something -- everyone loves to hold the toddler. I kept having to cancel out actions that they didn't need to do. I suppose it's a good thing that Sims are more attentive to their kids, but constantly holding the kid seems counterproductive. Plus, they're a family of four, and they're really poor at the moment. Luckily I was able to grab both parents jobs.
After Sizolad, it was off again to Hill Valley. I set the lots for Biff's house, George's house, and the Lone Pine Mall. I also made the elder McFlys -- Maggie, Seamus, and William. I kinda pulled a trick with Seamus -- I made him as Marty first, then aged him to elder and gave him the proper clothes and hair. I also made William look like an adult Marty.
-M: Hey, cool. Who's next, Grandma and Grandpa?-
Both sets, and the Baines boys. I plan to do them on November 5th -- since I'll be watching Part I, I can refresh my memory on how everyone looks.
-J: How many families do you plan to do?-
Well, you gotta remember, some of them are around for one reason -- to grow old, die, and populate Oak Park Cemetary with ghosts. I gotta do Buford and Gertrude Tannen, the Wilsons, and Needles. So at least five more.
-J: *whistles*-
Hey, Hill Valley's a populous place.
Off to do more with my website.
