Hello friends!
I hope you all are having a great day and that all your Simmies are doing well. 🙂
I’ve come to a decision. Oh, don’t worry. It’s not bad news or anything like that. It’s just simply me announcing a decision I’ve made in regard to one of my stories. For those of you who follow my other blog, you may have seen the story called Heartsongs & Enchantments. It’s the crossover story I began featuring Mathilda’s daughter, Alina and her now fiancé, Robin, who is Cian and Theresa’s son and Lauren’s twin brother. It also started out as a legacy. However, there are going to be some changes. First off, I’m moving their story over here to this blog since it is a crossover story with Forever in Time. And with Robin and Alina being featured here anyway and Alina having written some pen pal letters here, it makes more logical sense to host them over here.
As mentioned, the story began as a legacy, but I’ve decided to nix that. Yes, I’m sure their family will grow, but I’ve already got another legacy on my other blog to contend with, plus a sort of mini-legacy. I really don’t want another right now. So, I’ve decided it’ll be an ongoing story that’ll still cross over and fit very well with Forever in Time. I will add an introductory page on this blog for their story as well as add their character profiles to the cast list.
I will keep the original posts on the other blog but will repost them here for your reading pleasure. For those who haven’t begun their story, I encourage you to read it when posted here, as these characters are very important and certainly near and dear to my heart.
The big decision is made, but there is one thing I’m still toying with. I’d love feedback on the two options I’ll outline below, as I’m totally undecided as to how to proceed once I get to a certain point.
Option A: Keep the two stories as two stories that cross over at times. Heartsongs & Enchantments is written in the First Person POV while Forever in Time is in Third Person POV. So basically, this option is to keep both stories here on this blog but keep them as two separate stories.
Option B: Have Heartsongs & ENchantments be a mini-story and end at a certain point, then incorporate the characters fully into Forever in Time. Robin and Alina are part of the big picture anyway, so they can easily be fully “inducted” once we get to a certain point. Then, it’s just one big ongoing story with chapters featuring different characters, just like how I am writing it now.
Anyway, if you have an opinion one way or another, please post it in the comments section.
I will begin the reposting process probably today. So far, I have eight chapters over there for Robin and Alina with a ninth one being edited and screenshot as we speak. If you haven’t read their story, please do once the posts appear here, and I sincerely hope you enjoy it. If you have already read it up to its current point, please feel free to refresh your memories, as Robin and Alina do appear in my main story, and characters from there do appear with Robin and Alina.
As always, thank you all for your support and hanging in there with me. Much love to you all.
Hi, Chickie! This is a hard decision because I like how things are, but you know what? I’m tending to lean toward option B. However, in the end, you should incorporate that story in the way that pleases you most. 🙂
Oh, I totally know what you mean. When I was brainstorming this story, I needed a place/platform to focus on Mathilda’s daughter and yet have it be a crossover with Lenora and Tyrone since they all became family. I see both sides – in a way, it’s nice to have separate stories. In another way, these characters are so intertwined anyway, so maybe it would be less confusing if they found their way into the mainframe. I’m leaning toward Option B myself, but I’ll just play it by ear and see how it goes. 🙂 I love feedback when I’m undecided about something and want to make it pleasant and as easy as possible for readers to follow.
This sounds great! I can see each option working, so maybe you can choose the one you’re most drawn towards.
Thank you so much. 🙂 It’s always great seeing a comment from you. I think you’re right. Either option would work, and I’ve got time to decide which way to go.
