Crossover Chick

Yes, you get a double-whammy today, which is why I'm here early. First up, Chapter 16 of "Forgetting You" has been posted! Read on FF.net or AO3. It's short, especially compared to the previous chapter, but I think people will enjoy it nonetheless. :)

Secondly, I have an update from Steampunk Gulch for you all! Our favorite family the EVL Liddells were quite busy today, so let's get right to it:
( Badges, Robots, and Juice, Oh My! )

Well, that was fun. :) I might remake EVL if/when I switch over to Sims 4 -- Felicia too, maybe. Though it'll be a shame that they can't be magical right off the bat. Ah well, hopefully we'll get an EP with spells and hexes not too long after release. I'd buy that one in a heartbeat.

Anyway -- I've got to take my shower, then check up on the tumblr and whatnot. Later!

But first, fanfic news: Chapter 6 of "Forgetting You" is up! It's a shortish chapter focusing on Victor in Billingsgate, but I think it's pretty good. At the very least, I hope you'll enjoy it.
Now, onto the Sims stuff. I visited EVL and his family over in Steampunk Gulch, and they had quite the productive day:
( They Even Went To The Store! )

Whew! Pretty long update, no? But it was good to check in with this lot again. (And if you're wondering where I found the time -- Spanish teacher was sick. I didn't have school today.)

Okay, I've been bouncing between this, watching Helloween's latest Nier LP set, and RPing on tumblr (after RPing here on Dreamwidth). I need a break. Good night, all!

The Wild West adventure continues! What happens is pretty much covered in the subject line, only Doc manages to rescue Marty and prove he's a total badass. Also there is Clara foreshadowing. Lots of it. And an ice maker that takes up half of Doc's shop. And the discovery that horsepower can't be taken all that literally. And exploding engines, I believe. Yay.

Now, I believe I owe you a Sims update -- but first, a fic update! Chapter 9 of Finding You is up! Enjoy Victor being adorably clumsy.

( Now, Onto Sims )

Hope you enjoyed that! Now, I've got to wrap things up in my last hour or so before bed. School tomorrow, bleh. At least I only have one class to get through.

Yup, EVL Day! Let's see how the family's doing:
( Nell Has Toddlerized )

In other news, thought up a good gift for Marty that everyone in the Inkwell can "donate" to, so he's settled. Now I just need gifts for the Victors. . . Also got the red curse, so that's lovely. /sarcasm Still, can't complain too much. I'm just hoping for nice weather tomorrow so I can get an ice cream treat in honor of the ultra birthday tomorrow.
-TTV: *laughs* Ultra Birthday?-
Hey, I have FOUR characters technically celebrating now. What else should I call it?

So yeah, let's meet the newest member of the family.
( Busy Friday )

So yeah -- just one more kid to go! George or Lorraine!
-M: Hey, I thought it was gonna be Marty or Jennifer?-
Changed my mind -- I seem to have a "parents of the mains" theme going here. Marty or Jennifer can be in generation 3. Need to raise up this kid from a baby first anyway.

What can I say, I like this family. I'm starting to understand why people like doing legacies now. Anyway, let's see what they're up to:
( Plenty )

Upcoming events in their lives:
-->New child (Either William or Nell, depending on sex)
-->Having Tom make toys for the kids
-->Getting into the Gardening Club ('cause why not?)
-->Getting the kids into private school
-->Getting Felicia Gold Gardening and Pottery badges
-->Getting EVL a Gold Fishing Badge
-RPD: I applaud your ambitions, but -- why that last one. You've said before they don't eat.
True, but I like getting stuff, and he's already got the bronze. Besides, maybe one of their future kids will be the one who wants to run a grocery. In that case, I'll gift him/her with lots of fish and produce so he/she can stock up before starting.
-RPD: Ahh, and short-circuit that problem you have with William Van Dort in Inkwell Secundus -- not being able to fish through much of winter.-
Indeed. Making the most of all this good fortune the parents are having.

Anyway, not much else to report (exceedingly gloomy day out here), and I think supper's up in just a moment, so later!

I'm giving it a couple of once-overs before posting to try and make sure it's good -- and that I've caught all the typos. Should be up tomorrow. In the meantime, want a fairly short EVL update?
( New House! New Season! )

Shorter than the usual update, I know, but I was getting adjusted to the new house, and I wanted to keep things simple. Next update should be longer just because I'll be going back to the store. Want to keep that rank climbing!

Now, back to editing Chapter 19. Later!

Let's see how things are going in Steampunk Gulch!
( One Step Closer )

Yeah, still trying to decide between a redesign and a move. I don't think I've ever moved a family like this before. Moved just one or two Sims out, sure. But the whole family? Usually once they get to their main hood, they pick a lot and just stay there. Hmmm. Still, I really do think they need more room. . . I'll decide by their Sunday. Though if anyone has any advice, I'm game.

Shall we discuss what's been going on with EVL and family since we last checked in?

( Toddler Skilling and Bad Reviews )

And that's your Sims update for the day! I dunno how exciting you found it, but hey, the gang's consistently improving themselves. And Lorina's already proving to be a skill-building dynamo. We'll see what sort of person she turns out to be, and thus what business venture she'll be best suited for. As it is, right now I've got tumblr business to attend to. Later!

EDIT: Okay, can I just say that it's really annoying that the preview feature tells you JACK SQUAT if something's wrong with the cut tag?

As in, it's only covering one day of their lives. But it was a pretty complicated day, since their new baby was born! I think I might go ahead and switch to an "updating one day at a time" schedule for EVL -- while it was nice getting two days out of the way each update, things are just too busy right now in his life. After all, we've just added a whole new member to the family, AND his business is rather rapidly gaining rank. (Frankly, playing that feels like playing a second day.) So yeah, let's dive into this:
( It's A. . . )

Well, I hope you enjoyed that! Now I'm off to ponder the eternal puzzle of where the chapter breaks should go in "Secundus."
