Anyway, I guess in terms of this thread: have you ever turned your SimLit into audio versions? Would you listen to instead of read SimLit given the option? Any thoughts or moral support is appreciated 😅
Lizzielilyy (btw, how does mentioning users work, do I just need to write the name after @ ?), I'm probably not the target for this question, but I'll give it a go!
The reason why I say I'm probably not part of the target audience is that I'm not a native English speaker, and for me reading is generally easier than listening. For the same reason (even more so, I would say) I would never record myself reading my story, the "It's me, Mario!" effect would be too strong to take me seriously!
Anyway, even if I would probably not listen to it personally, the concept is for sure very new. If I think of an audiobook, I think about being able to close my eyes and just listen to the record, but with SimLit I guess that the visual side cannot be excluded (otherwise the "Sim" part would be gone, and only the "Literature" part remains). If I imagined it, I would thus think about a video with static imagines with a voice recorded over it too. Curiously, most The Sims Machinima stories I saw were quite the opposite, they were using videos from the game and used subtitles for the dialogues.
It also sounds like a lot of work, I would not know at all how to edit such a video file! However, if it sounds like a fun new way to make SimLit, go for it, try and see how it goes!

Yes that worked just fine to tag me! Hi!! Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback, I mocked up a slideshow of the screenshots from the first chapter timed with an audio recording so that the screenshots fit with the paragraphs assigned to them as I agree I wouldn’t want to lose the visual side. If I try it out I’ll let people know how I find it 🥰
