#for about half of my inductions I regard the whole thing as flawed

Writers Q&A !!!

Thank you @whyhellosims , @1o8percent , @mysimsloveaffair and anonymous for the questions!

2. Have you already planned everything or do you just let things go?

Ooh, yes, so right now episode 6 is posting for this week but episode 7 and 8 I have a good idea of what will happen. After that, I don’t know. Since it is a legacy and not just a story it’s not planned too much. Isidora picks who she wants to be with, I let the game systems decide that but I throw people in her way to see...to make things interesting...and the same for friendships and everything really. It being a legacy IMO means the game should have some say in the story and I can get creative around that.

6. Who is your most favourite(s) character(s) and your least favourite(s) ? Why ?

Ooh this might be the hardest one but I’m going to go back a little for this one and say Dulce! I loved Dulce first of all because it’s such a great name, once she was born I pictured her and then she had a really interesting story going on. Her mother being a pornstar and all and her father a famous musician and if there is one sim heir I wish I played through it would have been hers.

My least favorite would be a very old 2nd gen heir, Clemente Diaz. Clemente was the father of Ben Diaz and he hated children and never liked Ben but I also just didn’t have much for him story wise either. 

7. Can you give me some random facts about Karver?

Sure! Karver is an only child and as of right now running EAA is his full time job. You can say it’s been his only job too, he’s completely committed to it! He’s usually pretty cheerful as well and would like to have a nice big family! 

11. Did you find any difficulties while writing ?

Nope! Writing has always just been my thing, I’ve enjoyed it since being a little kid and I write a lot and read a lot so it’s a passion! The writing comes easy, I’m not saying it’s good or bad (you be the judge!) but it is always the easiest part to telling sims stories. I could sit down and plot a story all day and enjoy it.

12. How would you describe your story to someone who’s never read it ?

I’d say it’s a story about generations of a family and anything could happen. The characters are not usually good or evil but all have their flaws and it’s definitely an adult story and something I write for fun!

14. Is there any special relationship you like in particular? Which one if yes?

I do like the relationship between Orlando and Isidora, it’s obviously not in a good place and one thing I try to do is write about flawed relationships because nothing is ever perfect and it’s rare I write a perfect ‘true love’ kind of story but between these two there was something there and they kind of got what they wanted and needed from the relationship and moved on. At least, one person has moved on.

The one true love kind of relationship that I did have was Dulce and Alejandro, it was love at first sight and a lot bonus going on there lol.

15. Do you have a favourite scene ? Why ?

My favorite scene hmmmm, so far, the EAA induction ceremony, although Elsa and Izzy never stated for the full induction, it was fun setting it all up. There is the other EAA scene that will post tomorrow that was also a lot of fun to shoot. 

If we go further back, my previous favorite scenes were dealing with Marta, when she poisoned a man and also the shootouts. I also enjoyed the raunchy Dulce scenes XD I do like turning up the XXX rating on my stuff a lot. I try not to do it too much but when I do, it’s a lot of fun.

Oh yes! The witch scene where they summoned something from another realm. I made a gif for that I was so happy for it! I also enjoyed a small sci-fi scene regarding Lul’xuv intended alien husband on his spaceship and how he was on his way to come get her. Never finished that story either >.<

A lot of my Carnage scenes I really enjoyed too. Especially a scene where she broke up a vampire orgy and massacred a bunch of people...you guys might be seeing Carnage and her universe again soon...maybe :P

So yea, a lot of the more set up scenes I enjoy doing!

16. How long does it take you to post this story (considering the writing/editing/”playing”/posting part) ?

It depends. So a regular normal day in which Isidora does nothing doesn’t take long at all but a more set up kind of scene, like the EAA ceremony, took a lot more time. I’d say two days but in hours maybe 2-3 hours. I do the pictures first and that’s the longest part. The writing is something I can do easily. I have 24 posts in queue right now, half of them need writing, I can write for them in an hour or so and have something to post for a few days as I work on the next set of content I need.

17. What is scaring you the most about this story ?

I wouldn’t say anything scares me about the story as I have it well handled. I know when I did Dalton and Telah’s stories I thought of scenes and the idea of like...portraying a massive magical battle against Lovecraftian army sounds fun in my head but doing so in game? Yeah, that scared me!

With this legacy right now I more worry that someone won’t get it or...I don’t know. My heirs are not meant to be good or bad and I know some people don’t like stories without a clear good guy v bad guy. There’s Isidora in my mind and the people that could hurt Isidora mentally/physically but Isidora is the protagonist. I take pride in sort of making a flawed person seem like they are right. Marta, she was a great example of this. She was a killer and heartless but people still rooted for her. So I worry more about how someone might perceive how I tell my stories or try to tie in my beliefs with those of my characters.

18. What do you enjoy the most about this story ?

Ooh, a lot! That it evolves with each episode and that I get to write about something perhaps taboo or unusual. The whole nature loving group that might be more of a cult is cool! I’m not sure how far I’ll get into it but I enjoy writing about it...along with the interesting past of Isidora that will slowly be unveiled and then you mix in the potential of her just having a somewhat normal life as well! I also just enjoy focusing on this one thing right now and not having to switch focus.

Thank you all for the questions!
