Di's Victorian Vexes

Six years ago today, a very nervous simmer uploaded the first chapter of her Victorian Legacy to the exchange.  Today, that same, VERY nervous simmer is uploading the latest chapter to Authorstream.  Click on the picture to go to my Dreamwidth to read it.  Enjoy and erm, Happy Legaversary?



Comments (if you should so wish to comment), can be left here or over at my Dreamwidth.

Title:  Switch it on.
Prompt: Getting used to electricity.  (rosefyre)
Rating: U. 
Spoiler rating:  0/10. 
Summary: Stuart ponders electricity.
Notes: Ever had an idea you really like, but can't quite get down on paper well enough to satisfy you?  Well that's what's happened with this drabble.  It takes place in Marina's universe, not that long after Stuart arrives there.  I could see this happening very clearly, but can't get the words right to convey everything I want to.  Despite that, I'm posting it anyway, because I really want to get to prompt 16 by the end of the month.
Word Count: 509.


( Neither had been able to see the idea catching on anywhere, and dismissed it as a fad. )

Title:  Future plans.
Prompt:"My future is with you." (smoothiesims.)
Rating: U. 
Spoiler rating:  6/10. 
Summary:  Stuart thinks about the future..
Notes:  I'm not as happy with this as I want to be.  This prompt really speaks to me, but I just can't get the words to flow how I want.  I've rewritten it several times, and there's still something about it that eludes me and I can't pin down.    Anyway, this is only part of a conversation between these two.
Word Count: 191.

I’m not going to be sharing lots of pictures from the last rotation, or even doing them in the new look I was working on, for a couple of simple reasons. One, I played this rotation very quickly, and took hardly any pictures because I want to get on with the rebuild and two, thanks to that rebuild things look a bit odd in Regalton at the moment. As part of the rebuild, I’ve completed Project Refit and also went and removed all of Nouk’s original colours from my hair folder, meaning that with a few hairs for my blokes, all the hairs I have in game are now in the colours I use from Pooklet’s palette. I’ve also made various improvements on pieces of cc (such as rescaling Nani’s neighbourhood deco from MTS) since I last played the neighbourhood. This means that I’ve pulled quite a bit of my cc lately and, well things look a little strange.

Title:  Elliart Expecting.
Prompt: Elliart.
Rating: U. 
Spoiler rating:  8/10.  Oblique references to the fact that "something bad" has happened in Regalton, but doesn't go into detail.
Summary:  My simself writes a drabble.
Notes:   I don't really have much to say about this, beyond saying Elliart are so, so sweet, and the drabble my simself writes, is a scene I can totally see happening between Ellie and Stuart.
Word Count: 1,047

I'm back with more picspam!  I want to get the planned picspams finished before I start playing again, so I'm working on getting them done for you.  I'm going to be changing how I do picspmas slightly for the next rotation, but more on that in the future.  I've also been playing TSM and TS3 recently, and want to share my thoughts on them with you too.

But enough, waffle, on with the picspam!

( More pictures now with added cuteness! )

First off, this is over here, rather than sim_spiration ,  because I went overboard as is normal for me at the moment, and ended up writing loads.

Secondly, a version of this scene will be appearing in chapter 24.2, so if you wish to remain un-spoiled, don't read it.  Everyone else, enjoy,

Yet another drabble which is far too long for the comments at sim_spiration .  I'm making a habit out of this.  I'm also making  habit out of writing mushy stuff, but never mind.  :D
( “Some say love it only comes once in a lifetime / Well, once is enough for me” ("Up Against the Wall" – The Whitlams) )

More sim_spiration  for you all.  I’m not quite sure how to categorise this drabble. I suppose AU fits best, and if Marina wants to treat this as canon to her apoc, that’s cool. If not, that’s cool too. This is a little scene that I can easily see happening back in Regalton, once Stuart graduated and returned from Sierra Plains. I also want to say, that although the events that Bertie goes through in each mini verse are very different, somethings are the same as is the end result. So this is also a sneak peek at future!Bertie for you all.

Just something slightly silly from me today for sim_spiration . Enjoy.
