I'm glad you enjoyed it. Just a fun little thing, really, but true to a point. I have never suffered the pain of a rejected story, but I've read how it affects people, and that was enough to motivate me to do this piece. Thanks for reading!Astral Faeryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04473631993621892097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708500225114498737.post-213543001015291892008-05-08T01:53:00.000-07:002008-05-08T01:53:00.000-07:00This was AWESOME!!! You're a genius in the way you managed to portray the evil doings of TSR in this original and fun story.<BR/><BR/>And I agree with what was said earlier. When I used to post at TSR, more people read my stories, than on my blog. But they were not really reading my stories - they were reading shorter, chopped and censored versions of what I wanted to say.<BR/><BR/>SimTales has given me that artistic freedom that I was looking for, and it was definetly one of my proudest days when Leah asked me to join the team. I can honestly say that I have found a home for my writing creativity at SimTales.<BR/><BR/>Very well done!!!!!!Loriannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01816369882038010225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708500225114498737.post-82099739893271632782008-03-25T13:38:00.000-07:002008-03-25T13:38:00.000-07:00Aw, thanks, Gracia.

Thanks for taking the time to read it. It was a fun project and I'm sure TSR would hate it - which makes me love it, lol!Astral Faeryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04473631993621892097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708500225114498737.post-39354881564329651182008-03-24T10:35:00.000-07:002008-03-24T10:35:00.000-07:00I couldn't possibly add anymore to the awesome comments that were shared already, AF.<BR/>As always, you have presented a humorous, well done, creative, fabulous Sims tale. I enjoyed your wonderful, inventive screenshots, too. This one was a hoot & so much fun to read!<BR/><BR/>The only thing that would've made your story better is if <B>Grudge could've taken a big fat vicious bite out of TSR's ass!</B> LOL<BR/><BR/>Great job, my friend.Sugah Simhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01907806965851442348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708500225114498737.post-10158421452482198802008-03-23T19:10:00.000-07:002008-03-23T19:10:00.000-07:00I agree that it definitely helps to be among people you know when you're writing - getting the advice and feedback of a small group of people who follow your work and have a feel for how you operate. I'm very happy I asked to join the group, and happy with the people I've met and the feedback I've been getting. And now I'm happy to be roasting TSR alive, lol! >:)Astral Faeryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04473631993621892097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708500225114498737.post-81908337194465686262008-03-23T18:31:00.000-07:002008-03-23T18:31:00.000-07:00Mythoughts exactly, I left first of all because I was afraid one of my stories might be reyected, and joined Leah when the group was forming because...well, I thought that she didn't deserve what she got, then Sandy came and also Melissa, and well, most of the good things from TSR were here, except for Clarity, one girl who was the or one of the most famous writers of TSR back then, she encouraged me with her comments, in a time where I recieved but very few comments and I was really thinking of quitting. May she be always remembered (nope, not dead, she just got wrapped up in a part time job and had a sick mother it seems and my bet is that eventually she didn't had the time to keep reading and writing at TSR)<BR/><BR/>So I came to simtales at the risk of losing a bigger audience, but know what, it feels better having very few loyal regulars that you know than the occasional anonymous reader. <BR/><BR/>So I kind of relate ith you, what TSR did was highly unappropiate and unconsiderate for readers.scarlet_whitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743810440703736861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708500225114498737.post-7578715817538180032008-03-23T16:36:00.000-07:002008-03-23T16:36:00.000-07:00Ah, Zayury. I was hoping you would be okay with the way your character behaved, lol. I just felt it was right, and was hoping you would get as big a kick out of it as I did. Fun is a very interesting looking sim. Very unique facial structure. I think he's really cute. Thank you for your great compliments - I had a lot of fun having the SimTales group kick the caca out of TSR and Company. And I'm extremely pleased my fellow group members had as much fun reading it as I did writing it. Oh - you might like to know, I had to have Zayury makeout with Fun several times to get the right angle for shooting. I even took a picture where she looked back at me approvingly when I instructed her to go another round, lol. I'll post that on the forum later.<BR/><BR/>Pablo - thank you for taking the time to read. And it was just meant to be a fun little piece to give people a laugh, but also draw attention to the deeper workings of TSR. We all started partying too fast, lol, what can I say? We're a group that likes to have a good time.<BR/><BR/>And I'm fairly certain that submitting this story to TSR would result in immediate banning for all of us involved, lol. That's not to say the thought didn't cross my mind, though. ;)<BR/><BR/>My dark tale with TSR is nothing compared to many of you guys. I never had a story rejected, and have never had to deal with all the political correctness - or whatever they claim is the reason why they reject so many great stories. I'm just pissed off because it's wrong. They're stifling people and I think that's unjust.Astral Faeryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04473631993621892097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708500225114498737.post-47785140635215643772008-03-23T15:21:00.000-07:002008-03-23T15:21:00.000-07:00After reading what the story is about I thought that definitely many woud love this, is is funnt and creative, but you forgot to release the captive fun, freedom etc... lol, seems they were partying too fast. <BR/><BR/>I think all groups have inside rules, although TSR went a bit too far, or as I remember, I couldn't feel at peace there after the beheadings started, so I left. Its sad actually that it was not a momentum apparently, I heard that the are reyecting people for the most menial of causes for the sake of political correctness. <BR/><BR/>I didn't knew it was illegal to profit from custom made content of the sims, well I guess for some reason EA is either oblivious of what TSR is doing or they are deciding to not mess with TSR to not lose a large fanbase. Although, the sims franchise is so extremely popular I am not sure it would really affect them. <BR/><BR/>Anyway I was attracted by this little story, it was very fast to read and it should be puclished at TSR lol. Nah kidding, anyway thanks for sharing this little piece and hope you one day tell the dark and misadventurous tale of what TSR did to youscarlet_whitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743810440703736861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708500225114498737.post-25654962469712372932008-03-23T15:18:00.000-07:002008-03-23T15:18:00.000-07:00(Sorry for the delay my baby girl came home for the weekend, but she's gone back to the university) :(<BR/><BR/>OMG!!!
