Time for Baby Doc!

Yes, I played my Twin Oaks Park neighborhood, which has baby Doc. The Von Brauns had a busy couple of days. Sarah made best friends with both Emmett and Emily with playing and potty-training, while Elias did the same with Emily. Emmett ended up being potty trained first, which fulfilled a nice major want for Sarah, allowing me to finally grab the smart milk machine! Wahoo! Unfortunately, the toilet got clogged right afterward, followed by the tub breaking! The bathroom was a disaster area! After taking care of the kids, Sarah was the one to finally fix it all. Emmett also got his first glug of Smart Milk, and consquently knows how to walk. Emily has also been potty trained. Elias grabbed a promotion to Field Sales Rep, and brought home a work friend, Adrian. Sarah got to briefly meet Chris Von Nostrand, which is nice. Elias has also made pals with one of the Sapsons, so another promotion might be just around the corner. *crosses fingers*

I also finished furnishing the Von Nostrand house. They've got just over a 1000 simoleons left -- luckily Kat's mom Jane got a job in politics right away. Dad Chris will get a job in Business hopefully soon, and I think Kat will get a science job. :) I'll have to see if I can pull off school and a job for Kat.
-D: Ah, a new challenge for your Sims.-
Yeah. Oh, and remind me to turn aging back on for the Von Brauns -- I can't take toddlerhood too much longer. :p

martyfan just posted that her Docs have a teddy bear. We got to talking about it, and I discovered my Docs like to cuddle my stuffed Einstein.
-VD: *glares at VampMarty* We do not.-
-M: *giggle* You like stuffed toys, Doc?-
-D: This from the kid who sleeps with his guitar.-
-M2: Hey. . .-
-VD2: Look, why would we want to cuddle your stuffed toys?-
You like squeezing things? You miss Einstein?
-VD: Honestly, we do miss Einstein a little. . .but that doesn't mean we snuggle your toys to make up for it!-
-DW: *playfully* They have me to snuggle.-
-VD2: You are not helping.-
-DW: What, I'm soft, I'm squeezeable. I'm snuggly.-
*squish* You are, you are. . . .
-D: You're getting a sick enjoyment out of this, aren't you?-
-M: Come on, Doc, it's cute.-
It is cute. You Luv my Einy.
-VD: Oh, leave it alone. I'm going to work on the DeLorean.-
-M2: Jennifer wants to play in the snow.-
-VD2: I'm going to have a talk with VampMarty.-
-VM: Daaad-
Okay, I should be working on fan fiction myself. Later.
*everyone leaves*
*Doc comes back in* *Doc looks around, sees that he's alone* *picks up Einy, huggles him with a contented smile* *quickly slips away*

It Lives! Finally!

The beginning to the newly-revised version of "Dark Half" is up at my website! Click Here to Start
-D: Yes! You finally did it!-
Yes, finally. Now I just have to do the other chapters. At least I don't have to work on Chapter Four. (Chapter One has now become a prologue, so all the other chapters have been bumped up one.)
-M: What else do you have to do for your webpage?-
Besides the other stories, you mean? Well, here's some quick projects:
-->Flaming Trail's Vampire School (basically all about my fictional vampires)
-->Others of Note in the Biography
-->NonTrilogy Biographies
-->The Timeline for Biography
I'm hesitant to put up NonTrilogy or The Timeline just yet, though. They reveal a surprise I'd rather keep hidden until the correct story's up.
-D: The correct story being. . . ?-
"Definition of a Friend." Too bad it's so far down in the timeline. . . .
-VD: You'll do all right. Just remember, my "V.D." is up next.-
Well, I might slip "Catfight" in, just because that requires minimal editing, but yes, I'll make an effort to get "V.D." up as well.
-VD: Thank you.-
-VD2: What about "World of Darkness?"-
Let me get some others up before considering that one. That's my Monster Story, if you don't remember.
-VM: Speaking of which, how long do you think "World of Light" will be?-
I'm nearing the 70s -- it might end up being as long as its predecessor.

In OckDoc news, I'm probably going to end up writing the stories about him. I've actually got a name for the whole series and titles for the stories.
-M2: Let's hear.-
Well, I got the name and the first title from the DVD extra features. The other two came from chapter titles in my "Caught in the Web" book. The name of the series is OckDocumentary, and the stories are "Eight Arms to Hold You," "The Gift and the Curse," and "There's Always Tomorrow."
-DW: So you're embarking on another three project thing here.-
I just might be. I am trying to stick to fanart until I get further ahead with "BTTX-2" and "Fire and Rain."
-MDC: Yeah, you gotta write Spidey first!-
-DW: Actually, MiniCrawler, OckDoc is related to Spider-Man too.-
-MDC: *abruptly puzzled* That's -- right.-
Heh. Anyway, I saw another picture that I kinda want to redo in my "Caught in The Web" book. The pic on page 105 reminded me of Chris Lloyd a little, and things went from there. I still need to work more on my "Lunchtime OckDoc" pic too.
-D: You do that.-
Yeah. Oh, and *pokes* to anonymoose_au. Put up a link to your George Ock!
