Which Christmas Story Prompt should I go with?
**Please read my post before voting**
Thanks. :blush:
As many of you know I wrote a short, Sims 3 Christmas story last year (rolling out chapters all throughout the month of December before Christmas day) and I would LOVE to do that again this year. :mrgreen: See Story here if you're interested
So I went online to look up some Christmas Writing Prompts to get a basic idea for a new Christmas story (because I was having a hard time coming up with my own idea. :p )
I picked out 4 Prompts from a list of 30 that I liked and I want to see which ones you as a reader would like to read about. I tried to pick ones that wouldn't be too difficult for me to set up in the Sims...
Ultimately it will be my decision which story I go with, but I was curious to see which story plot most people would be more interested in reading and that will be helpful in my decision. :)
So here's the 4 Prompts:
Idea 1
Two people who are secretly romantically interested in one another. They agree to share Christmas dinner together, just as friends, because a family holiday isn’t going to happen and all of their other friends are already busy.
^Naturally here we have the classic Christmas romance tale. I'll ALL about romance as many of you know. :blush: So this was the first one that caught my attention. However, my last Christmas story was a romantic one so...I was thinking I could move on to one that's not? But hey, if this sounds like the best plot to you than vote away! ;)
Idea 2
A Christmas card arrives in the mail fifty years after it was delivered.
^Ok, shouldn't it say 50 years after it was SENT? 🤷♀️ I dunno, my brain is a little fried at the moment. :confounded:
This could make for a very interesting story. One where my imagination could go quite wild with it. :mrgreen:
(The thought of using the Roaring Heights world comes to mind... 🤔)
Idea 3
Notes and gifts from a “Secret Santa” take a strange turn.
^This made me chuckle. :lol: And I bet I could do it in an office setting. I've always wanted to do a Sims story like that (You know...like the TV show "The Office." :smiley: )
If any of you would like to throw out a specific "strange turn," throw out your idea in the comments below. :mrgreen:
Idea 4
At the castle, Christmas is very different from what she’s used to.
^I'm thinking this is about a commoner who'd just become a Princess or a Queen? I could totally use the Praaven world to set this one up - in Medieval times. :grin: Like she introduces her family traditions to the castle and they invite in some of the poor children in town for a big Christmas meal and hand out simple, little gifts to them that mean the world to them. <3 My imagination could really go wild with this one too!
Anyway,
Thanks for reading and happy voting! :)
