*on hiatus*
14th May 2012: The legacy is going on a temporary break. For more information, please see this post here.


Hey there!

I started this legacy back in December 2009, and I love it. I've played and published a couple of legacies before, but this is definitely the furthest I've played to. All of the chapters are currently hosted using slideshare or authorstream. I also have a livejournal for extra pictures, and hopefully behind-the-scenes in the near future.

I'm not scoring, I'm just having a great time with it, and the writing is somewhat plotty. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and any feedback is, of course, appreciated. I've changed a lot as a writer in the time I've been working on this legacy, so hopefully you'll be able to notice it gets better as it goes along. I think late generation three/generation four time is when I hit my stride completely. :)

To everyone who voted for my legacy in the recent Golden Plumbbob Awards - thank you!! I am surprised that the Wrongways got as much love as they did, and even more surprised, and flattered, that the won the award for Best Sims 2 Legacy. Thanks everyone!

If you would like any of my sims uploaded, please don't hesitate to ask. :)

This is a great legacy, I can't wait for more! I came across this through Mystery and Ani-mei! Sorry for the short comment I tried to catch up on all chapters at once. Overall The Wrongways are great! I love your characters and your story!

I owe comments, but I'll have to come back to those later.

Also, today is my second legaversary! And while I don't have another chapter, like I'd hoped, I have something to mark the occasion:

I just commented over on LJ. :)
Spoiler:
Of course, I neglected to say that I enjoyed all the shorts because I was so focused on that son of mine. Silly Esme! :pardon:

Even if it is spoilery, I'm glad to see Ralph and Ariel fighting. And the rhythm/meter/beat/whatever it's called of Mark's song sounds like a real song -- I can never do that, so well done! :clapping:

Happy Legaversary Wrongways! :drinks:

PostPosted by Solo » Wed Dec 28, 2011 9:24 pm

Happy Legaversary, Sam! Image

Spoiler:
These were really great. The first one was probably my favourite with John's clever irony there. I'm glad you stuck that in about Mark too, to show he's not some heartless villain, that he really does feel regret. Apparently not enough to actually go and get to know his children now...but we'll take what we can get, eh?

As for the others, I liked the little peek of ordinary life with them, especially with how different "ordinary" is to those three families.

Nice work, as always, and don't let those Wrongways party too hard! Image

Happy Legaversary! :D

Spoiler:
I loved the drabbles! It's kinda funny how Maddie's boys are nice and polite. I can relate with Romeo though. If I do anything in front of my little cousins, they would copy me. Really annoying... xD I forgot what else I was going to say... Oh and Hexander FTW. Just sayin' :D

ShadowGem:
Spoiler:
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it! Hopefully the next update doesn't disappoint! :)


Steph:
I'm really looking forward to updating again :)

ChanP:
Hexander is catching on, I think xD

Now for the Drabbles comments!

Esme:
Spoiler:
Yay for comments on both LJ and Boolprop! I'm glad you enjoyed all of them!

I'm really looking forward to getting to that part in the story. I have quite a few ideas about what Ralph and Ariel are going to get up to.

Mark's song IS a real song, I can't take credit for that. It's Wherever You Will Go by the Calling. It seemed to fit perfectly. :)

Thanks, Esme! :)


Solo:
Spoiler:
Thanks! I loved writing the first one with John and Maddie, it's nice to show the playful side of their relationship. :) As for Mark, well, can't expect too much from him, can we? He's never been that great at family things, but at least he regrets what he did.

I hadn't thought of it like that, but you're right, that is "ordinary" to those three families. It's nice to be able to share it, too. :)

Haha, I think the Wrongways might have earned a break after two years of dealing with my plots! xD


Magnificent_Mariah:
Spoiler:
Thanks! I'm glad you liked them. :) I think the boys and Sierra are definitely going to be a nice change of pace after bold and unpredictable Maddie. Children like to copy those they admire, no? :) Haha, Hexander seems to be very popular xD


Steph:
Spoiler:
Thanks! I'm glad you liked them. Hopefully I should be able to get an update out soon!


Ani-Mei:
Thanks, I've responded to that (I think). :)


Thanks, everyone! :)

Spoiler:
SQQUEEE!! Solan!! Giving Hex a Reaper child, did not see that one coming!! Walking on Sunshine, such a song for Solan to be singing, good see him learning about 80's classic rock on his travels around the multi-verses. But other than that I loved the seasonal montages, death and rebirth, loss and love, very nice. Too bad Solan can't tell Hex why he calls him an old friend, hey if you ever do let him find out I can give you copies of some of my legacy pics from their training and battle to use if you want. Other than my squeeing over Solan, nice to see generation 6 is officially on the way.

The twins grew up adorably and I love Fiona!! Her friend is really sweet too!
Solan made me laugh sooo hard! I'm walking on sunshine whoooa!

Hi Sam! :s_bye
Spoiler:
I thought this was a really effective chapter. It was nice how the pictures told the story for the most part. And hee hee, I recognize that fight between Ralph and Ariel. :P Although I freely admit to not getting the references about Solan. (I mean, I know which of animeangel1983's stories he's from; I just don't follow it, so I'm not familiar with the character.)

I think I recognize the shot at the gravesite, too -- I think it's the one you sent me a while back, just from the back instead of the front. If I'm right, you've had that around for a while. :shock:

You're quite welcome for the loan. Anytime! :wink:

Sorry I don't have more to say, but I can't think of anything else that needs to be said: a very nice job on a quiet and effective chapter.

Woo! I'm on time with responses! But first, let me wish you all a Happy New Year! :)

Ani-Mei:
Spoiler:
I've wanted a Reaper child for awhile, and I thought Solan was the perfect opportunity for that.

It seemed like a good song for him to be singing. :D

I'm glad you liked the montages. I wasn't sure if they would work well or not, but I'm glad they did. :)

I don't know if I'll have Hex become aware of the multi-verses, but if I do, I will ask for the legacy pics.

I'm really looking forward to generation six arriving officially! They've been in my game awhile, but it'll be nice to introduce them properly.

Thanks for your comment! :)


ChanP:
Spoiler:
It's too late to name the baby Hexander, I named the baby back in October when it was born xD
It's sad that both Maddie and Lavender can't be happy.
I was quite surprised by the twins, though Fiona didn't surprise me! I like writing Garrett :)
I'm glad you liked Solan's scenes. I was terrified of either writing him wrong, or people not liking him.
Nothing really surprises Hex anymore, I guess. xD

Thanks for your comment!


Esme:
Spoiler:
I'm glad you think the pictures worked, because I really unsure about that. :) I needed to move the legacy forwards, and I was struggling with the writing, so it seemed like the perfect solution. Yeah, I ended up putting the Ralph and Ariel argument into the chapter, and tweaked it a little bit. xD

My only worries when importing characters is writing them wrong, or others not getting the references. :s Basically, Hex made an appearance in Ani-Mei's legacy, so Solan and Hex were friends over there, and I have Solan knowing about that in my legacy. With the references to the Dead Realm, Solan is the descendant of someone from the Dead Realm in Ani-Mei's legacy. Hopefully it's not too confusing, but I was worried no one would get the references.

Yeah, I had that taken from many angles, but the sims were smiling so I couldn't use a lot of them. I have been sitting on this chapter for a long time! I had the beginning and some of the pictures from the seasons taken way back at the end of October, or beginning of November, but until recently, I was completely uninspired and struggling with Writer's Block. Hopefully it won't take me as long next time!

Thanks! :) I really enjoy playing that branch of the family.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Esme! Thanks for your comment! :)


Steph:
Spoiler:
Much love for Hexander!
She has to grow old :(
I do love that animation :)
Glad you liked it :) It was fun to shoot
Yep! I said goodbye to generation three recently :(
Hahaha, they'll never tell ;D
I'm glad you think they're perfect couples!
Yeah, unfortunately, more death
It is a really sad image. :(
Ha, I watched that movie the other night for the first time. It was so depressing! But I really liked it :)
I'm glad I finally have them married.
xD
:( Hexander isn't going to live forever
Maddie and Lavender, I wonder if they'll ever see eye-to-eye
That's an amazing mental image! xD
:D Who knows, it might be true xD
I have plans for Chester :D
Hahaha, she's a fun heiress, that's for sure.
Indeed :D
Gold grew up really well! It was surprising!
Hahaha xD All in good time. xD
I'm having fun planning Ralph and Ariel
What has been seen cannot be unseen >_<
I do love Fiona. :)
It's going to be fun writing that one! :D
I do love having Lee around xD

I'm glad you liked it!
And I love the New Year's Fever, it's great!
Yeah, I'm a meanie xD
Glad to hear it! Thanks for your comment!

Happy new year :-D

Spoiler:
I loved the simplistic approach to this one, with the caption-less pictures telling the story. It was very effective. I think Maddie will make a great Mum personally, although heaven help any child that back chats her!

Looking forward to learning more about Solan. He looks like a fun character, even if his methods of helping Hex are...shall we say eccentric.
