November 30, 2020: I suppose it's time for me to officially declare hiatus for the Bookacies. It's been a long time since I updated, and each new update is a lot of work. At least while the pandemic is going on, I don't think I have the mental energy required by a big, plotty story, so I think I'll be concentrating on something lighter.
Dear fellow simmers,
This is my Alphabet Legacy attempt with a book character theme. It started out as an observational legacy, but since then it's turned into more of a plotty story.
Quoted from my DW:
On that same note, yes, this story started in 2007, when I was quite new, and that's what the beginning looks like. I'd like to believe I've learned something since then, and indeed, I've changed writing styles since then. For the better for this story, I hope.Be warned: I started the alphabetacy in 2007 when I was much younger and had more time than today. Then I was hit by adulthood and responsibilities, a truckload of plot, the brilliant idea to play the whole neighborhood, and the desire to play and write other things. So these days, story updates are a pretty rare occurrence, but I do intend to keep going, however slow my progress might be.
If you are a new reader and would like to catch up faster, I recommend starting from chapter 40 and going on from there. It's a very long chapter (even for me) but it's still faster than to read the 39 chapters before it. It should be more consistently written too.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy the story!
