Taking a Week Off :(

I have, by nature, an obsessive personality. I always have the best intentions of doing something reasonable and manageable, and always end up crazy overloaded before I'm done.

I find myself once again overwhelmed trying to get both stories updated each week, trying to figure out how to get a picture to look just like I want it to, and trying to learn what each pose hack is capable of. Not to mention, of course, the real world needing my attention now and then. :D

Too often, I get the picture online and look at it thinking I should have taken it from another angle, or it's just too damn dark, I really should have turned a light on; but I want to get it out on time so it's just going to have to do.

I'm sorry, but there will be no OoT, OoT or SoM update this week. I need to get myself organized and my head on straight as to where I'm going. I've actually been spending time in my play neighborhood watching the actions and motions of my Sims. I'm learning what commands do what. So hopefully I'll remember some of them and make my stories better.

Anyway, I've rambled long enough. The point I'm trying to make is this: at least for the month of December, perhaps longer, SoM and OoT, OoT will be posting alternating weeks so I can spend more time on each update in hopes of being more satisfied with the end result.

In both cases, they will most likely now post on either Saturday or Sunday as well. Don't worry, despite my obsessive nature I also have an almost obsessive sense of responsibility and I will not leave you hanging. The stories will end. Also, I do have another Lachesis' Tales that I'm working on, and a future SoM storyline is working itself around in my head as well.

Thank you everyone for reading.

Take care,

Preview of New Characters

The Sea of Moons, The Valley Part 3, Odin has updated.

Thought I'd just toss out a couple of test shots of future characters from Sea of Moons:

This is an early test of the major villains. This is not, however, the final look for them, but it is very close. Who are they? You'll just have to find out.

Who's this guy? That too remains to be seen, but you have seen him lurking around in the background.

Thanks for reading, everyone!

Take care,

OoT, OoT Updates (As usual ;D)

Wow, I was really not sure I was going to make this update. In fact, it's a bit early because I didn't have it done over the weekend as I usually do. So I've posted it as soon as I completed it.

I'm a little worried about SoM, however. I don't have the next update done, I don't even have the set built yet. Yikes. Hopefully I'll get it for Friday as usual. Things are just not progressing as well as I'd like this week.

Sometimes I feel like the Sims got the joke and I missed out on it. :D


Happy Thanksgiving for those in the U.S.!

Thank you for reading!

Just What are My Stories?

More people seem to be finding their way here, and that's great, welcome! But I realize that since this is just a place where my two stories come together, it would be wise to explain the differences.

They do have some things in common, such as sexual themes, some tasteful pixel semi-nudity, occasional strong language, and in some cases, violence. But since I'm not a violent person, it's seriously only when necessary within the confines of the story, and generally villain initiated.


Sea of Moons is a Fantasy story that takes place on a completely different world. Dagon exists in another galaxy where all sorts of races live in harmony, or not, and magic and technology appear equally in everyday life. The story mostly centers around the inhabitants of the Sea of Moons on the continent of Neith. The Sea of Moons consists of a series of islands where refugees from all over Neith have started to gather to make a new life for themselves. For the most part, the storylines center around Kerrin Draonight and Lessa Orrissus, Nanda Ves'ton, Telaan Torus and Xavier Quaendis. Although there are storylines that will have a beginning, middle and end, there will be many storylines involving these characters and others from the Sea of Moons. This is a continuing story involving these people's lives.



If Fantasy is not your thing, and you like something more grounded in reality, or at least as close as I can get, then Lachesis' Tales are probably more to your liking. These are planned to be short stories, or somewhat short stories, that center around what we know and where we are. Although time travel, which is the topic of Out of Touch, Out of Time, and genetic mutation, which is the topic of Just Call it Magic (coming after OoT, OoT completes), are not everyday occurrences, they are still not in the Fantasy genre. More along the lines of romantic paranormal. And, it seems I'll never be able to leave my romance roots, as JCIM is also a romance. So I guess, if you are a hopeful romantic, then Lachesis' Tales is also for you.

Either way, I hope this makes the differences between the two sites clearer.

As always,
Thank you for reading!
