Windows ARGH!!!
Blooming Windows grr.
I spent a sizeable chunk of yesterday planning my next chapter. My planning involves setting up a new folder on my desktop called chapwhatevershort, I take off the auto arrange but keep it snapped to grid. Into this I put the snapshots I am going to use in the order I plan on using them. I then use this order for finding my thumbnails and putting them into Word. I also preview the pictures in here as I am writing, and having them in order means I get a good idea of what the story will look like on the exchange. It's a bit faffy, but for me it works.
Well I didn't get the entire chapter finished yesterday, so today I open the folder up to find that Windows has completely changed the order I put everything in. All 178 photos were in a random order, not arranged by name, not arranged by date modified, completely random. I am not a happy bunny. I have put the last 30 pictures in there, and now face the prospect of not only finding the correct thumbnails and putting them in order, but also re-ordering all 219 snapshots. ARGHHH!
As you have probably gathered chapter 12 will be another two-parter, but they have to be read together so it's probably going to take me a bit of time to write them. I really want to try to get an interlude out too, so I might put that out first, I'm not sure depends on how the writing goes really.

Anyway to cheer me up and stop me feeling so mad, I thought I'd share some pictures of Anne at the Crypt o' Night club. These were taken before I went in and Victorianised the place, so the DJ booth is still there rather than the grand piano, so sorry about that.
Also sorry they are so small, but I didn't want to faff about with photobucket this time.
Anne makes the best faces anyway and when she is smustling...I'll let you judge for yourselves.
I call this her 'little girl lost' look
This is her 'point and laugh' look
Her 'what the hell is he doing?' look
The 'opps need to take a bit more water with it' look.
Her 'argh here comes the sun' look.
Her 'point and laugh, now with more point' look.
The 'please tell me I don't look ridiculous doing this' face.
Her 'see Papa I would have loved a pony' stance.
Her 'shake it!' look.
The 'right everyone we are going to smustle so follow me' look.
And finally the 'I am a poor delicate Victorian flower, where is my prince to whisk me away on his white charger?' look. Answer of course is he is called Mathias and is waiting for you back home.
I love Anne, I really do. She is such an awesome sim to play. I'd love to find a way to bring her back into the main story at some point in the future...

Re: anne's smustle
I intend for you all to see more of her as the legacy progresses.
