I wanted to announce a small bit of valley news that probably won’t figure in a chapter for a while yet, but might interest some of you. At least in terms of speculating about what some possible results might be.

Now that my lunch hours are spent in the office again, it looks like I’m back to storyline-​building rather than writing during that time.

Pictures and a poem

Published January 3, 2010 10:16 AM

I have a couple of random things to share today.

First, for those of you who like to browse the bio pages, this morning I created the Sims for some of the family members of King Malcolm of Scotland and uploaded the pictures.

Since I had to make Queen Margaret, I made the other children of Prince Edward the Aetheling, which includes Edgar the Aetheling, i.e. “THE Aetheling” that Sigefrith & Co. are always discussing as being the rightful heir to the English throne, but who is nevertheless gravely disposed to episodes of FAIL. In January of 1086 I believe he is currently skulking around the court of William the Conqueror, which shows just how much faith he has left in his own right to rule.

Published December 27, 2009 08:49 AM

I don’t think anyone who reads this blog knows where I live, but even so I didn’t want to post a big “hey, my apartment is going to be empty for a week” notice on this site and come home to find the place robbed.

This morning I was led to think more deeply about my “Warning” blocks at the tops of some of my more graphically violent chapters.

(Haha, I already assumed that there must be a secret website for insiders, where you get your beautiful Sims stuff from). I wouldn’t mind if you upload all your recolours from your little treasure chest and share them with us, since there’s not enough medieval stuff out there. (Oops, I know – the time factor!)
