Hey there, I’ve resurfaced after a little bit of inactivity to find that I’ve been nominated for the Sunshine Blogger Award by Chalicen, who writes an amazing SimLit called Winter’s Alchemy. It’s a really great read with some awesome illustrations thrown in and I definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn’t read it yet. Thank you for the nomination! The rules for the award: In a blog post, thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog. Answer the 11 questions sent by the person who nominated you. Nominate 11 new blogs to receive the award and write them 11 new questions. List the rules and display the Sunshine Blogger Award logo in your post and/or your blog. 1. What inspired you to start writing SimLit? I answered this question a while ago back on the forums, but it was when Pammiechick’s amazon challenge was spotlighted on the sims’ website. I had liked playing the sims and writing independently of one another for a while at the point I came across it, so it just seemed natural to bring together two of my interests. 2. What do you think is the one lamentable thing missing in sims? (Ex. for me it’s seasons.) Yeah, seasons is definitely a big one. I’d probably have to say that’s the biggest thing missing. I’m also dying for new supernaturals, but that’s not as big of a necessity. 3. If you were a sim in Sims 4, what would your traits be? Probably creative, geek and cat lover. 4. What is your favourite and least favourite cliché? It’s really hard for me to think of a particular favorite or least favorite. I guess I tend to enjoy it a lot when characters switch sides (evil to good or good to evil) so I think I’ll go with that. My least favorite is probably the damsel in distress cliché. If you meant cliché the other way, then my favorite is either “cat got your tongue” or “weak as a kitten”. What can I say? I like cats. My least favorite would be “we’re not laughing at you, we’re laughing with you” 5. Pitch your SimLit as a haiku! (Or a limerick, if that makes it easier. Or iambic pentameter… Or any poem form you like.) I’ll do this for The Illusion of Light. Fair warning, I don’t write much poetry. I’m going to go with a limerick. “There once was a young boy named Vincent Who was taken quite a long distance When he woke he was tired And cornered by vampires It was then he met the young mistress” I tried my best. 6. What is your all-time favourite game (apart from Sims )? It has to be Avalon Code for the DS! It’s a really awesome game and I really couldn’t do it justice explaining it. Here’s the box-art; 7. What is your favourite mythical being?
I really like witches and warlocks! I also think that bakenekos are cool. 8. What do you think is the most despicable trait in an antagonist? Hmm, I could probably get specific, but in general I’d say a lack of empathy. Although, I find that I like most villains/antagonists so take that with a grain of salt. 9. Do you prefer making sims or building houses? Or are you the type that doesn’t care as long as they do the thing? Making sims, for sure. I’m really not a good builder and in general I just prefer making characters rather than settings. 10. Is there a SimLit you absolutely must recommend? Why? I really can’t narrow it down to just one! I’d want to recommend all of the ones I’ve read, but I guess I’ll go with the most recent one I started reading. CareTake by CathyTea has such interesting characters! 11. What do you think makes a story a SimLit? I think that would be that it’s related to the sims in one way or another, whether by concepts, characters, visuals, or the setting- or all of the above! I don’t think I follow any blogs that haven’t been nominated already, so I guess I’ll just end this here.
