//I really wasn't sure where to put this. I thought it kind of fit in Stories, but you can't have a story with more than one author. Pictures didn't seem right either. If it is in the terribly wrong forum then please move it. It's basically where one of my sims has decided to write to one of @AndrewGloria's sims and is intended for their letters. If my sim seems familiar it's because she's from a manga that I made sim versions of. I spoilered some of the pictures that went over the picture limit.

Dear Othello-san

I'm really glad that you agreed to become penpals with me. I've always wanted to have a penpal from another country to write to and to learn about other cultures with (and to practice my English). I saw some of the posts about you on Mod the Sims and I thought you looked like an interesting person. I hope that we can be good friends!

My name is Kanako. I enclosed a picture of myself.



It's a little embarrassing, because Tomoe-Nii snapped it while I was still in my pyjamas and then dared me to send it anyway, so I had to send it or I would have never heard the end of it.

I'm nine years old and live in Nagoya with my parents and my two older brothers. This is my family.



From the back left are my brothers Tomoe and Souichi, then Okaasan and Otousan are sitting down at the front. Everyone is all dressed up because we were just about to head up to the shrine for New Year.



I helped Okaasan make the food for New Year. I like to cook. Souichi Nii-san is so bad at it he's not allowed in the kitchen in case he sets something on fire.



This is everyone up at the shrine. We got to hear the bells and see fireworks (even though I dropped my sparkler just as the photo was taken) and I made a wish for happiness.

It's hard to think of what to say. I've never written a letter like this before. I hope you will write back and tell me all about you and your family!





Yours sincerely,

sweet .

Actually, using collections of documents such as correspondence is a time-honored way of telling a story. The "epistolary" novel goes back to the 18th century and you can find plenty of recent examples, like "Griffin and Sabine" and Patricia Wrede/Carolyn Stevermere's "Cecilia and Kate" historical fantasies. This would fit right in over in stories, and would be easier for people to find there.

And about the author problem, you could just copy or link to AndrewGloria's responses.

Well, over a RL year with no response and I think that Kanako is going to have to give up on this one. She waited longer than I would have.

This is a really neat idea though!!

Like what if people posted some of their sims/sim addresses who are looking for new penpals and then someone has their sim write a 'letter' to them?

Ah, poor Kanako.
