Geez guys I've turned the project horizons thread into a sims 3 lets play.

I am ok with this.

[tylertoon2]

Well um.

I second that notion. It is a fine way to pass the time till Somber blesses us with more Project Horizons.

Edit: Oh shit, FIRE.

[RoboRed]

I'm literally laughing out lout from reading these updates on The Sims.

Also, it was inevitable that someone would set the place on fire.

Accounting is gone from the index page... now it's Consequences. I think it's finally time for Blackjack to meet Glory. Though I bet it is far from the worst catastrophe to resurface here.

OHBOYOHBOYOHBOY. Sweetie Belle

Yes, I definitely miss a lot of interesting things by not being here. Can I hang around with you guys without the one-million-word ticket?

The reason I won't read it is partially because of the subject matter, and another part because A CERTAIN BROTHER OF MINE spoiled a significant portion of the story, such as Blackjack's numerous injuries/mutilations/mutations/augmentations and how she aquired them.

Depending on how spoiled you got, it's still enjoyable. I went into the story with at most, BJ's cyberness being spoiled but throughout the journey it was exciting to wonder when that was going to happen. I also had no idea what the 'shocking' part of Black was going to be since the PDF version had the skip notice in the ToC so I was anxious leading up to it.

So ya, read it. :P

I doubt actually reading the material is a requirement to hang out here. It will help in the understanding of about 1% of what we talk about, but that is about it.

I think there are however unspoken rules. Like don't insult others. Pretty general stuff.


Edit: I like how in the second photo my sim is just looking the other way and not even reacting to the fire.

[IncoherentOrange]

@Swicked Merely an example, the extent of my knowledge is spotty. (I know many of the analogues, some concepts, details of the magitek, for example) I may read it one of these days. Or three, or seven... Oh, I'd have to read the source, too, wouldn't I? Oh dear, I've got some reading to do.

It's just that I've noticed some interesting conversations here between chapters of the story, and well, I'd like to join in. It'd be nice to make some more aquaintances in you bunch, I know my brother enjoys your virtual company.

[222222]

@Incoherentorange: who is your brother on here if you don't mind me asking?

[IncoherentOrange]

@Erumpet Ketchup504 is my twin brother.

[tylertoon2]

@Erumpet Ketchup504 is my twin brother.

Twins!?



Oh my....

[IncoherentOrange]

What a twist. I'm fairly similar to him, a major difference in this context being that I am a fanfic writer. Otherwise, not too much to say.

[Caoimhe]

@Erumpet Ketchup504 is my twin brother.

Twins!?



Oh my....

I'm a twin as well (identical f/m)! I FORCED my twin brother to read both FoE and PH in help for my research and he apprehensively admitted he liked them (well, parts). Of course that makes me the evil twin. ;)

I sincerely doubt he'll ever post here though. He haaaaaates the fact that the fandom stole me.

[IncoherentOrange]

@Caoimhe Identical F/M? Wow, never heard of that actually happening. In this case I'd be the more evil one, if only slightly; two of my own fanfics (which you can check out if you want to see a petty, average attempt rather than a piece worthy of recognition) can be classified as grimdark at times, but none so much as this.

As for him? Tell him to stop worrying and love the pony. It doesn't hurt anyone.

[Caoimhe]

Identical mixed sex is something different actually. I never cared for how the hell they term it, but same relative m/f height, hair/eye colour, certain other features and different parts. I forget the term but it's some sciencey thing that's more identical than fraternal, whatever the hell.

Gonna check out your works and spam copious amounts of links to him like I do with every FoE fic I come across in the hopes I'll pressure him to convert. :D

I hope you don't mean of the stories I've mentioned, they're rather contrived and of disliked genres; they wouldn't help you much. One of them is a Warhammer 40000 fanfic that defies canon rather badly (yet still managed to be well-recieved), and the other is a Fallout and Pokémon crossover. Yes, both. It makes sense in context. It's part of a series of stories about a manifestation of myself (commonly known to be the worst form of fanfiction, I don't disagree) entering Equestria and other fictional universes, those mentioned specifically.

I'm rather off-topic, with my shameless plugs, so I'll stop here.

[222222]

@incoherentorange: I have read one very good self insert fanfic, the genre I'm assuming you are reffering to. It was "Through the Eyes of Another Pony" and it was hilarious but still had a decent plot. For bonus points, Luna was heavily involved.

[OneMoreDaySK]

@Erumpet
Read that as well, through still kind of ambivalent on the remake.

For doubly bonus points, the author shipped himself with Luna.

...I actually didn't like that fic, but it does seem pretty popular.

It was good when he didn't take it seriously at all and just sort of had fun with it. Now the author wants to make it more serious when he doesn't realize that is what made it good in the first place.

[222222]

@OneMoreDaySK: I'm not sure I know what you mean
@Swicked: ha the bonus points have been doubled! Anyways, if you kept up with the developement process, which I'm not saying you didn't, the author said he wasn't going to be shipping anybody, and especially not himself. Then he claims that the character evolved, and was no longer really a self insert, so he shipped him. I don't know, I thought it was funny. Still, I think it's funny and not overbearing like most self inserts. And fairly well written.

[IncoherentOrange]

My stories contain hardly any shipping at all. Friendshipping appears far later than is normal for the genre, meaning, the character isn't instantly friends with the canon ones, but an ally to them instead. As for my perception of it being the worst genre? A large number of fics featuring manifestations of the author are just straight-up escapism, and only to the author and not the audience. They wantonly have canon characters fall in love with their character, have them save the day without breaking a sweat, and/or have them do other incredible things. There's little narrative to them.

[222222]

@tylertoon2:it's more serious, but I still think its funny. I don't know, maybe I am easily amused. And the plot isn't bad, certainly not a masterpiece, but definitely above average and more than sufficient as device to drive the comedy.

@Kattlarv:

I would of course encourage you to give
reading the story a chance some time (well, if you don't like the
subject matter, I suppose it can't be helped), but certainly you don't
have to read it to come here if you're just intending to join in on the
non-story related discussions. Of which there are a /lot/. You'll have
to be careful of course once Somber returns to updating though, if you
want to avoid further spoilers in case you do decide to read it at a
later date.
Anyways, welcome. *bows*

My most distinct memory of the sims is marrying somebody after meeting them a few hours ago, then building a room with windows but no doors around her and watching her starve.

Mine would probably be the point in the first game when I realized that walls were pointless outside the bathroom, and ended up living in a pile of furniture on the lawn. Awesome room scores, and since I saved so much money on the building it was all top-quality.
