Has it really been almost two weeks since I last posted?

I have got to update this thing more often. -_- But there really isn't much to update about. For the past couple of weeks, I've been pretty much obsessed with Sims. Not playing them -- I gave it up for Lent like I usually do -- but downloading a bunch of mods, lots, and custom content. I'm fine for the first three or four weeks, but then I always start getting antsy and go on a downloading binge. It's bad. I think I've added at least .5 GB to my poor Downloads folder.

So tomorrow can't come fast enough for me. It's Easter, I can finally play Sims again, and I get to see a recap of the World Championships on NBC! Man, I hate, hate, hate that Universal Sports is only available on cable now. (It used to be available over-the-air here until this year.) I could have seen almost all the competition last weekend if we still had it, but I guess I'll take what I can get. *sigh*

Writing? Well, I haven't been doing much of that lately -- see aforementioned Sims obsession -- although I have made a bit of headway in moving my stories over to AO3 this week. I think I'm almost finish posting all my one-shots and ficlets, then I can start on the multiparts. My major goal for the month, though, is to get a new chapter of Melting Ice posted. Once I get over this chapter, the romance part can finally begin in earnest, which will make the fans happy, I'm sure. I think they're getting a little anxious for that to happen. *laughs* Actually, I am, too. I can't believe it's taken over fifteen chapters for anything to really happen between Yume and Mikhail. It's kind of ridiculous.

I play TS3, but am still very obsessed with the Sims as well. I'm surprised I haven't seen you around the simming community! D:

I wish Sims 3 worked on my computer. :( My sister gave me her copy a couple of Christmases ago, but my graphics just aren't good enough to handle it. What little I played with it, though, I think I like Sims 2 better. I mostly just lurk around in the community. One time I was going to start posting a story involving charcters from one of my Sailor Moon fanfics, but organizing pictures is a bit of a pain.

It's been awhile since you mentioned this, but in case you were interested, there's a huge sims community on tumblr, and tumblr is easier for simmers who find picture organization a pain. If you're interested. :)

Still Sims-free here, despite a version of it now being available on Facebook (Sims Social). And enjoying AO3, too, though I currently have a lot of stuff I need to relocate.

Also have a new AIM name, but I will most likely bring that up in a post.

I'll be on the lookout then.

(In case I have a brain fart between now and May, I managed to get Samuraiter on AIM.)
