The Merfolk of the Sulani Seas

 

Overtime, I'll add to this post to expand the Table of Contents and make it easier to access the chapters. 

Table of Contents

Use the links in the Table of Contents to read the chapters in order. The links are working and will take you straight to a chapter. This should save people the trouble of scrolling through the thread. 

Eventually, I plan on trying to put the "Meet the MerSims" Section in the comments of this thread along with the chapters. I am adding links to each of my posts to help with navigation. 

The Little Merman Arc

Chapter 1: The Shadow of the Sea Witches

Chapter 2: Swimming to Zalia Grottos

Chapter 3: Life's Full of Tough Choices

Chapter 4: A Change in the Tides

Chapter 5: The Embers of Love

Merfolk of the Sulani Seas Lore

Links to threads that include details concerning the structure of how my merfolk society in the sims is organized, their culture, and background exposition.  Tags for the updates will appear next to the links.

SimLit Tips in the New Forums

One of the things I noticed when the new forums were created was that not everything transferred here looking the way it was supposed to. I opted out of having my story transferred for me and took a great deal of time working through a lot of troubleshooting to find the easiest way to share longer posts.

In the comments of this thread, I had a great deal of help from the community as I worked on transferring chapters from Answers HQ. Now that the transfer to the new forums is complete, I think I found the best way to get around the Forums tendency to Auto-Refresh the webpage and erase all progress instead of saving it. 

My suggestion is in the following link. I will update it with any other findings and suggestions can be shared there so everyone can benefit from them. It's possible this has been fixed while I was away, but I think this suggestion can still be helpful.

SimLit Posting Suggestion after Troubleshooting

With the list of merfolk in my story expanding over time, I wanted to set aside a space for the character profiles involving the merfolk in my story. 

Character Profiles will be organized around the Family Groups, or pods, my merfolk belong in. Check out the linked thread to stay updated on the Merfolk Pods in all my stories.

Mods Credit

Since a lot of this story wouldn't be possible without certain mods, I do want to give the mods I use the credit they deserve. I will update this as quickly as I can to credit the awesome modders that created the mods and poses that make telling this story possible.

    Thank you! And, thank you for the advice! Been trying to do a little bit at a time. I have a few posts that can be read on the EA Help site. Once I get things updated here, I have 2 or 3 chapters lined up.

  • This looks amazing! You've clearly put a ton of work into this, I can't wait to read it all through 💙
    If you're still having trouble editing the main post, I had the same problem and had to get someone to edit the title for me then I could make edits but only small ones at a time. I recommend trying to edit on thing at a time i.e. a paragraph or inserting a photo then clicking publish and going back in. It's painful and irritating but it works.

    Well, it seems that the initial post isn't letting me edit it, but I can update more in replies. Gonna see if I can go in and edit the reply to expand it more.

    Each lore section is kind of a different topic but related to the story. I'm gonna try to make this work.

  • It's probably going to take me a bit of time to get everything set up. I'm thinking of doing a new discussion for each chapter and adding links to a table of contents to make access easier. I'm hoping to leave the reply section open for responses to what I write and relevant discussion.
