warnings - Pretty bad post-prod editing.
writer's note - I ended up completing this chapter in bits and pieces over the past month, which explains why some things aren't right. Zelda starts wearing bling after the funeral (a scene which I simmed before I started writing, bad habit that.) I tweaked the levels and slight bloom effects between the funeral chapters and the wake.  Overall though, I happy with how this chapter turned out. Some resolution and another interesting carrot dangling in front of me.

Writer's Note - It's been awhile. For a quick recap, chapter twenty seven saw Zelda begin to develop a tenuous relationship with the shapshifters. Her sister, Eleanor, has been eager to learn about her new ability and has formed a strong connection with Milo Langley. Vincent Waywood makes plans to return home to his clan. Sincerity Rowan, feeling responsible for her part in Anna Waywood's death, offers her services to Vincent. The chapter ends with a new arrival, Wensley Scott, and the fulfillment of a debt.   You can find chapter twenty seven here. Now, read on!

You win the cake!

I actually managed to play the sims 2. There isn't enough time to do much of anything. I flail underneath the weight of it all. I did manage to catch Watchmen. I think I did not like much of it. Anyway, back to the sims 2. I aged Leda Knight up to adult.

 Morning Patrol.

A new Civil Protection. It's pretty good, ayyyyy.

Nick Alto parties down by the water at Evelyn's house. He drags his wife along. I guess they are "slumming it", descending from the heights in the Sunset Valley Hills. They danced to beats so fresh. Sssnap!

I bought a rename ticket. afterland has now become applesafter .

TELL ME THE ROMANCE IS STILL HERE.

Sour Apples is everything that  afterland is not. Brevity, aliens, plot centred around everyday life, easy to follow, few central characters, aliens.

It's been awhile since a chapter update, so I though I'd post and let you know how things are. I'm writing the next chapter achingly slow. In between work and other stuff, it comes out in dribbles. I have my mind on other things right now and I can't seem to find the time to focus. I've  also been playing the sims 3 a little. The bright - as - fuck atmosphere would really lend itself to a comic of some sort. So, I've been trying to formulate some ideas towards that goal as well. edit - if only we could have all those cute animations on hand, like inna posebox or sumfin.

More sims 3 fuckery.

The last installment for collected has been posted at simfic50 !

Wensley's thread is now woven into the main afterland story. Hooray!

I have to admit it - the sims 3 is growing on me. I was all like 'random woman vomiting at me ew' to YAYing at Evelyn going to talk with the ghosts at the graveyard every time I load up the game. Edited OP to add - thanks to the wonder of the pescado and realising how important it was to turn "story progression" and aging off, my gameplay experience has involved less rage. "Story progession" (now to be referred to with quotation marks FOREVAR to indicate my burning sarcasm). Maybe I'm a bit bitter about that - Story progression shouldn't involve the sim you just played FUCKING OFF out of town after switching households for a few in-game hours.

That started off good and ended somewhere bad.

I will be finishing up collected soon and afterland has an end in the near future ( I am already going over the epilogues in my head).  To be completely honest, I am getting bored with the sims storytelling. I just want to write for awhile, without wondering about how it will go down in the game.

writer's note - So, next up will be a collected update, probably a double, to finish up Wensley's arrival at Team Zelda.

In between playing Team Fortress 2 and real life fuckery, I've managed to actually do a chapter. I will update tonight or tomorrow morning. In the mean time, Zelda and her posse are getting their craic on.
