Lakeside Heights turns two years old this week! (Or precisely, it did last Wednesday, on the 24th, but whatever, lol!) It's been a fun ride, and I have some special things planned for you all!
But besides the fun and games, I also wanted to thank you all for reading. Whether your comments come every time or even just occasionally, they always make my day! And that's most of the fun of writing something like this, right out into the public. I could say that I'm just writing this thing for my own amusement, and it might have started that way, but it isn't the truth anymore. I write just as much to see you all amused and delighted. A story doesn't really live until someone reads and cares about it, so thank you for helping me bring this story to life :)
Okay, enough cheese?
So for the first half of LH blogiversary week, you all will be celebrating without me, lol! I actually have my sisters in town from today until Sunday, so I'll be well occupied showing them around town and going to the beach ;)
But we'll get started here anyway. I have a little survey that I'll be posting, as well as a "guess who?" game you all can work on, and I'll have the answers for you on Sunday :)
blogiversary week: plan of events!
-"who are you people anyway???": a survey of my readers
-"LH guess who?": a game by request for Carla
Then later this week, I have a two-part series of prequel stories on my founding Sims, whom you never got to meet in this story.
part 1: Rebecca (Brant) Harris and Troy Harris
part 1: Eliza (Brant) Deppiesse-Anderson
part 2: Jessa (Briggs) Nova and Castor Nova
part 2: David and Mallory Riley
part 2: Charlie and Mirabelle Bradshaw
Next week, we'll pick back up with our current chapter of stories :)
I've been a silent admirer for a long time. Your work is unique. Beautifully written and beautifully illustrated, and justifiably one of those series considered among the very best.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your anniversary!
Happy Anniversary!!! I'm looking forward to the fun and games and prequel stories! And have fun with your sister! :D
ReplyDeleteI would break out in the "Happy Anniversary" song, but it doesn't really translate well into typed words. But congrats on 2 years with Lakeside Heights. I admire you and your computer for being able to keep a neighbourhood running for so long and also your writing.
ReplyDeleteBeth, awww, thank you! *blushing* I'm glad you're enjoying it! :)
ReplyDeleteMaisie, thanks! I'm looking forward to the games too! This is fun! We should find excuses to do games more often :)
rome, lol! Thanks! And yes, let's all pay respect to this sad old computer for being such a trooper! I often wonder if it will make it to the end of the story before I have to replace it. I hope it does! But I've got backups just in case ;)
*toasts* Yeah! Definitely a time to party. You have fun with your sisters and we'll run havoc over here getting things warmed up. ^_____^
ReplyDeleteYay! Happy blogiversary! Firefox doesn't think that's a word. Funny.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your sisters and in the mean time, we will have fun with your survey and your guess who game (yay, by the way). :D
Congratulations! Sounds good! Can't wait to see more blogiversary posts!
ReplyDeleteI'm a long time French lurker.
ReplyDeleteI don't even remember if I ever commented here but I'm really enjoying your stories.
Happy blogiversary and I'm looking forward to reading about your founder sims.
Have fun with your sisters. :)
Happy anniversary! I'm still struggling to get out of the zombie-land of being sick, so I've been just reading blogs without commenting, but I did want to say happy anniversary to LH. :) (And I'm so sorry I haven't emailed you like I said I would! As soon as I can think clearly again, I will ASAP! This cold/flu/whatever has kicked my butt this week.)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on two years!
ReplyDeleteThank you, everyone!
ReplyDeleteNo worries, Shana! I'm taking most of this week off anyway ;) Hope you feel better soon!
Happy anniversary, laura! I'll be happy to comment any day, because you're posts make my day! Reading LH is one of the best parts of my day (and my life is pretty darn fun and exciting, too!)
ReplyDeleteAnd when you start publishing books (and i read them) i will email you some comments. That way you still get that happy feeling. :)
Billy, awww, thank you! I'd love to get email comments on my other stories some day! :)
