Wait... two chapters. And you will get teenage Teddy kids. Right now they're just children. (Adorable children!)

You say that like there's any chance I haven't gotten him already.

Hello! I've really adored all your Legacy story, and you all have inspired me to start my own.

First, I'd like to introduce my first generation heir, Faye Vunnown.





I have a bit of a back story to her- but I first want to start a blog so that the story won't be all over the place. So before I do anything, do you guys have any tips as far as writing or maybe which blogging website is preferred. I use tumblr pretty often for my personal blog and I do see quite a few simblrs, but most of you use blogspot. I just mainly want to put my story wherever it's more accessible for people to read.

Thank you all so much for any help, and keep up the awesomesauce stories.

I also apologize if my graphics aren't very good- the settings are all on medium and I reaaaaalllly want to get a better computer to be honest.

Well crud, my Legacy just CTD a few minutes into playing. I really don't want to move them yet, too many things are in the works. head desk I have not idea what the problem might be, but I did install a few new hair files, guess those come out and I try again.

Hopefully that is the issue. I so want to get back into this story.

Welcome djpon! I'm glad you decided to join the challenge!

I personally prefer blogspot, that's what most people use. But you can use whichever site you'd like. I have a Tumblr as well but I don't use it for my story. I like the way blogspot is set up, In my opinion it's better than LiveJournal. I look forward to your story, no matter where you put it. =]

Thanks so much! x) You can call me Orchid, as djpon3 is really a reference to My Little Pony, I couldn't think of anything else to name this account, haha.

I will probably making a blogspot as it seems a majority of you guys seem to be using it. I've never used LiveJournal or blogspot- but the layout seems simpler. Going to go back in game and try to fix up a first post/introduction type thing. I'll start following you all once I've figured it all out, bahaha. :B

@Orchid (hopefully I will remember that) You're welcome. It took me a little bit to get use to blogspot because I'd never used it before either. But I easily adapted, Doing a custom layout was the hardest part but thanks to Google I figured it out...with much frustration. I didn't like livejournal at all though.

If nothing else the Blogspot premade layouts are decent enough to last until you set a "real" one up, and easy enough to pseudo-customize by replacing a title/background image with your own image.

Exhibit A: this is a basic template with the background replaced and a custom title inserted, because it was 4am when I made this blog: http://hazardsofresearch.blogspot.com/

Personally I -like- the Blogspot premade layouts but I know I'm in the minority xD.

Welcome to the challenge Orchid!

No update from me tonight. Just decided to not attend my friend's memorial tomorrow and I really think I need some time to myself. I might play a bit but I just can't finish writing this chapter.

Hmmm...I should have made a custom title for mine. Although, it's after Midnight where I live and I know I'll be in Photoshop forever. Oh well... *double clicks on Photoshop icon.*

EDIT: Cece, I'm sorry about your friend. =[

Also, is everyone doing the Nothing Is Free challenge? I feel slightly left out but since I barely can handle one blog, I better get use to it. Lol.

@Cece, take your time, my dear. We definitely understand.

@Jess, I may or may not have just started a Nothing Is Free blog yesterday. >.> I think I'm going to lose control of it in about a week. xD

@Orchid, WELCOME. 8D I'm a big proponent of Blogspot for Legacies just because it seems simpler. And I'm too lazy to make/edit a template. 8| So I can just use theirs, haha.

Weee~ I did my first post. I am open to critique/suggestions/hate/love/ANYTHING!

http://vunnown.blogspot.com/

I feel that I should have taken more pictures, and that this post was pretty boring... but the next few posts will (hopefully) pick up in action!

I'm not. That challenge never appealed to me. Too much work. >.>
But I am running two blogs for this challenge... I get bored far too easily, so if I have two running at the same time, then I won't get too bored of each.

My name is AJ, please, call me that rather then my username. :)

:/ If her family gives you shit about it, smack them with a laptop. And then tell the arresting officer I made you do it.

Okay well I don't feel so alone now. I also agree that it looks very time consuming. I like to focus on one thing at a time so I'll just stick with this challenge. =D Luckily I'm easily entertained so I don't have to worry about getting bored with it. =]

So I have another update before I stop for a while.
I'm gonna plan out the next few chapters... of both my legacies. And hope to actually make a story out of it.

So last update from me for a while (Though I'll attempt to actually talk to you guys now)...

Well my crashing seems to have been fixed by removing the hair files. After I got it working I went to bed, it's been a long week I'm going to work on my legacy blog today and hope to get a couple chapters done. I need to get the blog caught up closer to the game.

As for recommending a blog, I have only tried blogspot. I'm not sure why I chose it when I first started a blog but when I saw most legacy stories were on there it seemed better to stick with it than learn a new one. I learn enough new things in college and I took the lazy way out

New to the forums, my previous account was deleted due to inactivity since I haven't downloaded anything for ages. Learnt about this thread from Anarathiel, I've had great fun doing this challenge and I'm on my eight chapter: http://djangilling.blogspot.com/.

Any criticism welcome.
