Taken - completed Dec 2013

10. Identity
11. Staff Meeting
12. New Start
13. Numb
14. Birthday
15. Girls and Boys
16. Assignation
17. Nights at the Bar
18. Thanksgiving
19. Breaking Point
20. The Visit
21. Christmas
22. Family Life
23. Plotting
24. Late One Night
25. Healing
26. Isolation
27. Doubt
28. Hitch-hiking
29. Anniversary
30. Hidden Desires
31. A Request
32. Sisters
33. Festival
34. Birth
35. New York
36. Waiting
37. Contemplation
38. Inside the Council
39. Encounter
40. Nights at Another Bar
41. Stasis
42. Plans and Preparations
43. Confrontation
44. A Day in the Life
45. Gone

47. Searching
48. Eighteen
49. Forgetting and Remembering
50. Uprising
51. Lockdown
52. Investigation
53. Bunker
54. Ceremony
55. Thirteen
56. UNHQ
57. University
59. Address
60. Almost There
61. Decision
62. Push the Button
63. Revelation
64. The Story and the Statement
65. Returning
66. Light at the End
67. Flight
68. Born and Bred
69. Men and Women
70. Ending
Just a note of caution. Whilst all of the main chapters (linked to here) will be suitable for teens and upwards (I am thinking 12 in terms of UK film certificates), some of the extras (which are not linked to on this thread, or on the front page of the blog) will contain more mature content (15-certificate type stuff). These will be labelled as such on the Extras page and at the top of the relevant entries, so if you’re too young for those bits, or easily offended, don’t read them – you won’t miss out on anything in the main narrative.

I didn't realize you had finished it. I see I have another one to finish. I am not sure how I got so far behind on my reading.

Oh my gosh!! I didn't realize Taken was done?! Just had to go along and read the rest before I could comment. I loved the beginning, middle and end. I guess this means I should start reading the other stories you have.

Re: Taken - completed Dec 2013
Ahhh, same here! I need to get reading, there's like 40 I never read!
Re: Taken - completed Dec 2013
Yes, I forced myself to go faster and make it my Christmas present to myself to finish the thing! Am writing a novel for my creative writing course now instead. Always with the challenges...

Re: Taken - completed Dec 2013
WOW. Just wow. Honestly I thought this story was incredible. I loved the plot, characters, the depth. Seriously, great job Rad!!
Re: Taken - completed Dec 2013
Ahh, I used to read this back on Boolprop 1.0 and I totally forgot about it when I went on a break from Sims! I can't wait to start reading this again as it was one of my favourite sims stories ever!
Re: Taken - completed Dec 2013
Aww, Lewis! Long time no see!
Re: Taken - completed Dec 2013
Hi! In case you didn't know this already, I'm in love with Taken. Such a great concept, and so brilliantly executed. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it to the very end .
I wish you the best of luck with your novel: it must be an exciting (or scary, perhaps?) assingment .

Exciting and scary and frustrating! And thanks for your lovely comment!
