After the End 52: Wait (Aug 10)

Hey there, I just binged the whole thing ? It's amazing how much friction you manage to have in the story in spite of the fact there's only 4 characters... or of course, precisely because of the fact there's only 4 of them.

Yadira has a lovely personality, she's so sweet, and stunning. It's got to be tough for Sama, of course knowing that Asa wanted to be with her, and as soon as a new man appears, he naturally falls to her feet. So I can see why she'd get "opportunistic". But I'm pretty sure this will blow up in Rohan's face. Yadira will not be happy, and somehow, I don't feel like "continuing the population" will feel like a good enough reason for her to give him a chance. Especially since he's not told her about what happened with Sama. Not that I dislike Rohan, he's a giant teddy bear, really, and with a tragic past. Though I suppose on an apocalypse, that's the case for all of them.

I realise I haven't said anything about Asa, but we don't really know much about him, apart from "aww man, I'm no longer alpha male, that blows." Maybe he'll grkw on me later lol.

I'm curious about that mainland tribe Rohan came from. Maybe they'll go to the mainland eventually and see what's up there.

Oh, and I love how desolate their little camp is. Definitely gives very apocalypse-esque vibes!

Wow, thank you! What an honor!
Thanks! It is the beginning, after all, so maintaining drama with only four characters isn't as hard as it might be. I've heard more than once that I tend to overdo the numbers most of the time, so it's something I'm working on--kinda.

It's fun to write that sweet personality! She's really young. I'm thinking she probably should've been still a teen, but that didn't sit right with me. So I decided she'd just be a REALLY YOUNG adult with an adult body, as can happen to many. It's tough for Sama, yes, but she doesn't value herself by looks alone. The beginning of the last chapter gave me the creeps to write, but I didn't want to gloss over it either. The whole thing does have a likelihood of blowing up in Rohan's face, but at least it's not like Yadira wasn't aware what Sama wanted. We hear from Yadira again next chapter finally.
LOL at Rohan being a teddy bear. He'd probably take a small offense to that--even though it's absolutely true!
Yes, they've all had a rough past. Yadira is just lucky that she doesn't remember it.

I love how you totally just captured Asa's thoughts. Ya know, thank you, I have noticed that I'm leaving him out, and he's kind of a 2D character right now. That will hopefully change. Maybe give me an idea you might see happening? Other than him channeling that aggression into becoming a warrior-type, I'm wishy-washy on what to do next with him.

Thanks! I'm using a set of CC called Apocalyptic Life by Frau Engel. I plopped down the actual set somewhere, but I spent hours on the main lot I'm using (which isn't something I'd normally do because I despise decorating). I'd had an idea for a novel kicking around in my head, and although I can't specifically do that plot in sims, seeing that set made me curious to see if I could make this work.

Your comment made my week! :D I hope you continue to read. I try to update this one on Mondays and Thursdays.

Aww, I'm glad! And I just realised you have moved your story to Wordpress - I read it in Blogger but I'm a WP girl myself, so that will be much easier to follow for me :)

Yadira definitely reads very young and innocent, and she has that lovely naive optimimism - which makes total sense, given she doesn't remember the tragic events and has grown up pretty sheltered just with two close friends. You'd hope for the best and be pretty curious in her shoes too. So you've definitely achieved your goal there :)

Hm, I'm not sure about what direction Asa could go (hard to say when we don't really know what's on the mainland yet!), but I'd like to see some more depth in him for sure. I mean, they live on a secluded island with no TV or other sources of entertainment, surely there's more to him than "I was hoping to get with these womens at some point" - like, he's had a lot of time to think, right? :D

Oh...how I loved this chapter! <3 ❤️❤️❤️ <3

WP and Blogger definitely both have their positives and negatives, I think I prefer Wordpress because you get notifications on comment replies, and because the pictures are bigger with most themes. But it's definitely personal preference. That's a lot of effort with you keeping the story up on two blogs, I'm not sure if I'd have the patience to do that, I feel like it's enough effort even with the one I have ?
