Schemes and Dreams
Hey everybody.👋 Welcome to my second story. I'm hard at work on getting things ready for this one. I thought I would go ahead and start the thread and give you an idea what's going on. I'll post occa...

Oh my Gosh! I thought I'd posted my response to this chapter days ago but it was just here sitting in drafts :s Here it is anyway!
I loved this chapter! I didn't read the accidental sneak-peek when it came out just because I wanted to wait for the full chapter to see how it all came together, and I'm glad that I did! Lots of hateful characters here right off the bat, and I'm very much enjoying the drama so far! I's great how different this is to Under the Tartosan Sun, because here I get the feeling that anything crazy could happen at any time, it's kind of thrilling - also it must be fun for you to be able to showcase this side of your writing, get to try out a different, more fast-paced and unpredictable style.

YIKES to all storylines here, Judith is definitely a tricky woman, and I don't envy those around her. She's completely self-obsessed and has ISSUES, and it makes me wonder what fame quirks she actually has in game - I'm thinking definitely that one that your sim has to look in the mirror every few hours, and the one where her emotions are explosive. Malcolm and Nancy... i don't even have the words. They're just deliciously evil. I can't believe they'd actually discuss the murder Mimi just for the crime of being herself and thriving, it shows the depth of their shame and discomfort - why can't they just let her be? Why must they publicly humiliate her?
I read the discussion about your intentions for them, and I get it. If you don't want them to be recurring characters in your story then whatever - leave them out. The writing process is a journey and we live and learn. Either way, I'm sure it was a fun exercise to write about their conversation and their intentions, even if you don't plan to take then much further than this.
As for Thorne and Octavia, he certainly seems like a handful.. imagine posing for the paps in your own home! Inviting them to invade your personal space without okaying it with your partner - Octavia was rightfully angry, but it sure is a shame that they caught her blowing up like that - that sure isn't going to do anything good for her reputation. I bet the tabloids will have a field day with this, smh.
