SimNaNo 2021: Sign-Ups

Post by Livvielove »

Opens on June 5th!

Hello all! Please be sure you read and understand SimNaNo 2021 Rules before proceeding! Here is where we'll be hosting SIGN-UPS for the event. All questions should be asked in the Coffeehouse! When it's time to start posting (on July 1st), you'll post your updates on the Update Thread. So, without further ado, here's how you sign up!
Please post in this thread with your:
:check: Story Name
:check: Link to the story's Boolprop link (if one is available)
:check: Your Personal Goal for SimNaNo (this is required for official sign ups!)
:check: A little bit about why you picked the goal you did (not required, but highly encouraged so we can support each other!)
:check: If you want a different name other than your FORUM name used on your progress banner, please indicate that!

Code: Select all

 :check:  [b]Story Name:[/b] 
 :check:  [b]Link:[b] 
 :check:  [b]Personal Goal:[/b] 
 :check:  (Optional) [b]Why did you choose your personal goal?:[/b] 
 :check:  [b]Name for your Banner:[/b] 
If you ever wish to change your goal, please put it in a separate post in this thread! If you wish to be doubly safe, feel free to PM me as well with it, but it must be in this post as a NEW reply so that I can see it. I won't be checking old posts on here to see if they've been edited (that'd be a lot of work for me to do) and I want to be sure I can accommodate everyone's goals as they change and grow over the month.

Remember if you're having trouble setting a personal goal, here's some examples provided from the rules:
[spoiler][align=center][quote]Hi, I have my Ghibli Legacy, which averages about 1,500 words and 100 pictures per update. I feel I can easily do 5 updates in a month, so let me challenge myself and say 7 updates, which would total 10,500 words and 700 pictures. [/quote]

[quote]I'd like to sign up with Where the Willow Walks, which I can usually do about 5000 words and 120 pictures per chapter. I've done 3-4 chapters in a month and I kind of push my limits, so I'm happy settling on between 3 and 4 for this! Let's do 17,000 words and 350 pictures![/quote]

[quote]Hello, I'm starting a new story and HERE is the link where it'll be. As I'm starting new, I'd like to challenge myself to write 10,000 words this month and 175 pictures. I have no trouble writing, but I want to challenge myself on my images specifically, so my goal will be emphasizing that![/quote]

[quote]I'm starting a new challenge for this, and HERE'S the link! I tend to not be very verbose in my challenges, so I'd like to just do a picture goal. Let's say 1,000 pictures! I can easily do 100 pictures an update, and I'd love to do 10 updates this month! Let's do this![/quote]

[quote]I've got a story I'd like to do this with, and HERE is that link for you! I don't really like taking pictures that much, as my game can be slow and sometimes it doesn't show what I want, but I want to challenge me to write more! I'm setting my goal to be 25,000 words! I'd love to do half a NaNoWriMo normally! I'm up for the challenge![/quote][/align][/spoiler]

:check: Story Name: Outrun the Scythe
:check: Link: boop
:check: Personal Goal: 12 updates / 30k words / 300 images
:check: Why did you choose your personal goal?: 12 updates because that's what's either done, in progress, or something I can easily visualize in my master list of chapters. Each update usually hits 2,500 words and 25 images already so whip out the math. 8-)

*deep breath... I'll just try it, I can't screw anything up here...* (I'm still super excited though)
Edit: I did screw up a bit anyways - turns out there's a difference between character count and word count in my editor, and I didn't find it :spin:
:check: Story Name: One Sim challenge - Amelia Britton
:check: Link: One Sim challenge - Amelia Britton
:check: Personal Goal: 4 updates, 100 pics and 8000 1500 words.
:check: (Optional) Why did you choose your personal goal?: My June and July will be quite busy, and in June I'll probably manage 4-5 updates, so I figured that would be a good starting number for July. I can always adjust if I have too much freetime :spin: My updates usually go for around 20 pics and 1500 300 words, but I've had 8 pics and 5500 660 words too, so that is the reason behind the goals for words and pictures, with a little focus on the writing.

:check: Personal Goal: 10 Updates (One for each household)
:check: (Optional) Why did you choose your personal goal?: I haven't played sims much this year due to being sick with COVID and then immediately having a heart attack. Now I have a brand new, BEASTMODE laptop and want to complete all the achievements. I'm hoping to complete one round of all 10 families.
