"While it may sound odd, when I write Sim stories, I actually think of the game as a co-author, which is why I always go in game first, and do the writing second.

I think the fact I think of the game itself as my writing partner is probably from my background in play-by-post writing."-- @mastressalita
I very much feel this way. This style of writing I call "Wrimmingfun" for the writing and Simming are so interconnected.
Most of my SimLit is like this--the short stories, some of my collaborative projects, and my fanfic aren't; they're story-driven--but pretty much all of my other SimLit writing is 90-100% game driven. I love that style of writing!
