Di's Victorian Vexes

Wow, it's a long time since I did one of these.  Aaanyway, in honour of Regalton 3.0 and the fact I now stage my chapters entirely based on my storylines and what has happened in game, I'm planning on posting more picspams, that are better ordered.  Obviously anything of a spoilery nature won't be shown.

( Lots of pics follow the cut )



And I think that is where I will leave off part 1 of the main hood picspam.  Look out for more soon.

Title: Bedtime
Prompt:  Eddie/Carmen
Rating: PG. 
Spoiler rating:  3/10.  This is canon and takes place in the future, but there's nothing you don't know in it.
Summary:  Eddie and Carmen getting ready to retire for the night.
Notes:  I wanted this to be a sweet look at part of the daily routine of one of my favourite couples.  It turned out to be a struggle to write and get sounding nice, and not too rushed.  I've done so little writing over the past six months, I feel broken.  Anyway, this is hopefully to get me back in the habit of writing regularly, and isn't the best, but I hope you enjoy anyway.
Word Count:  695

( "What have I done to deserve that?" "Everything." )

Only a month or so later than I wanted, here's the next part of this rotation's picspam.  This covers three houses in Regalton proper, and I'm going in the order I want to, rather than the order of playing like I normally do.

( 60+ pictures and some blather )

So, I've finished shooting and playing for chapter 24.1.  I've got far too many pictures as always, but I've not felt like starting to put them in order yet/  I did think that I'd share a few random pictures with you all though, to whet your appetite as it were, for when I do get my act together.  :D

( A few pictures. )

Wow, it is a long time since I did one of these, but I have been playing recently, and thoroughly enjoying it. That is when the computer isn't crashing. Yes, I'm still having issues with my new computer, but I've just fitted a replacement video card, and we'll see if that helps.
( Picspam this way )

It's that time again, I'm going to share some of many pictures that didn't make it into either part of chapter 22.  This chapter really was wrapping up Eddie's plot, and starting to lay the foundations of Bertie and Stuart's story.  There was also a lot of gameplay in it, since, well it's about time generation five became teenagers. ;)


( About 80 pics for you. :) )

So that's the out-takes for this chapter, I hope you liked them.  I'm starting work on the spare story for Lysander and Rosalind next, but I don't want the gap between this chapter and 23 to be as big as the gap between 21 and 22, so hopefully it will be only a few months until we're back in Regalton.

I have an important announcement, one which will impact on the future of my legacy. Some of you already know this, but for everyone else, please click on the cut to read it.

( Announcement )

I really do talk far too much at times, so I'm really not surprised that this is over the character limit. Anyway, here's my drabble for the prompt "Hell is gone and heaven's here/There's nothing left for you to fear" ("Let Me Entertain You" - Robbie Williams)

( Welcome to the nightmare )

First of all happy St George's Day everyone. :D

But today isn't just the day of England's patron saint, it is my legaversary. Two years ago today I plonked Gabe Legacy down on a blank lot in a subhood of Pleasantview. I've come a long way since then, and Regalton has been rebuilt as it's own neighbourhood, but I am still as committed to playing the family in as authentic a way as possible.

I really have no idea when the next chapter will be ready, but I do have a few small gifts for you today.

( Pressie 1 )

These pictures are just to whet your appetite though, my main gift to you is a music video. You see the lyrics to Mean Bone by Slash's Snakepit really resonate with me and where I took Eddie and Marielle's story. One morning on my way to work whilst I was writing chapter 19, the song came on my CD player, making my brain come up with a video that made me laugh so much, I nearly crashed.

Here is my attempt to recreate it. It is the first time I've made a video, so it is a bit rough and ready. I'm also not happy with the quality of the upload, even though the original file is really good.

Anyway, it's here:

Yes indeedy, it's time for me to waffle on about my latest chapter and share some of the pictures that didn't make it.

First of all I knew that this chapter would not be a happy one for you all to read (the next one won't be great either I'm afraid) but I feel I need to do this in order to do the storyline that's been in my head since last June justice.  Sometimes I get an idea in my head that just needs to be told, and this is one of them I'm afraid.  It's not easy for me to do at all, because Eddie and his family are just sweethearts and need to be happy, but do it I must.

( Pretty picturs and more talk. )


That's all the out-takes I've got for you today, but I did want to talk about a couple of other things.

I really did grin like an idiot when I saw the Stanley secret, and again when I saw Anthony and read the historical legacy secret too.  It means a lot to me that I've caught people's imaginations with my little creations.    Stanley's queue is going to get rather long, but I don't think he'll mind in the slightest.

( I've been building. )

Anyway I think that's enough from me tonight.
