It's clear that this is a story first and the sims are there just to help visualize.
I'm thinking that all of what we're reading during Week 1 is this way, right?
None of these works are wrimmingfun--they're all stories/literature first that uses Sims for the illustration?
Ha! You're right! Although I'm sure there are some times where the sims influence the plot, perhaps, in FISH or Freedom? Maybe? There is something to be said for the best fiction being this "fiction first" type. I'll admit I work a little harder on my fiction first work than I do on my legacy work. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out in the coming weeks of reading as we see more types of fiction. ...or perhaps even a non-fiction? That would be a challenge and a half to write with Sims.
"Aimless" is sort of nonfiction... well, it is nonfiction. But it's weird nonfiction, like journal/reflection.
These works are inspiring me to write fiction for sure! I'm just not sure how I see the connection between my Simming and my ficition... I'm pondering this...
And I'd love to do biographies with Sims! I'd love to do a Bach biography, but I have a feeling it would turn into wrimmingfun, and Bach would be playing the gaming rig in no time!
