I am a human author telling human stories to other humans. Supporting human artists to illustrate these human stories is the only logical and ethical choice.
@thistlearts is my cover artist. He did incredible paintings for Mr Warren's Profession, Oak King Holly King, Tales from Blackthorn Briar, and Fiorenzo.
@lauravian_arts designed adorable stickers for Oak King Holly King. (Available now in my etsy - and perhaps soon, a Kickstarter?)
Collaborating with human artists is a joy and a dream.
AI is unethical, illegal, and dangerous theft from real human beings. No excuses.
(And thank you to @noahhawthorneauthor for inspiring this post!)

Welcome to HollywoodU & High School Story Appreciation Week
(or #HWUHSSAW for kinda short?)
As you may have heard, Pixelberry is saying goodbye to their two original gaming apps HollywoodU and High School Story (the app, not the Choices books which were inspired by the app). They will be removed and shut down on August 10th.
Most people in the Choices fandom may not be familiar with them as neither app has been updated in years. However, there are some who still remember these amazing apps.
This appreciation week is a little different than others. There are no specific prompts, no character days, and no types of content restrictions. Maybe your favorite character was only in one quest. Or your favorite storyline was some holiday event. Great! I want to keep this AW as open as possible so not limit anyone.
You can write fan fiction, create a drawing, commission some art, reminisce on your favorite moments, make moodboards, write about what the game(s) meant to you, share how the app has changed your life/helped you... basically anything related to these two amazing games.
I simply ask that you are kind to one another, tag triggers and nsfw appropriately, but mostly just have fun.
Tag this blog and/or my personal one (@lovealexhunt) and I'll share all content sent to me during that week and then post a masterlist shortly after.
Feel free to reach out with any questions. Happy creating! 💛

Bigwig had been half expecting Campion to appear and had made up his mind to kill him if necessary. But now that he actually saw him at his side, disregarding the storm and the mud, self-possessed as he led his patrol, no more than four strong, into the thick of a pack of desperate runaways, he could feel only what a pity it was that the two of them should be enemies and how much he would have liked to have taken Campion with him out of Efrafa.

Check out the Hoof & Fang podcast with Kirt Graves and Maz Maddox!
Quick correction re: some historical facts. The Labouchere Amendment did not raise the age of consent for males to twenty-one; I got it mixed up with the Sexual Offences Act of 1967, which decriminalised consensual homosexual acts in private by men over twenty-one.

Clavell/Year 1/Week 1/Day 2/1.0
I jumped back into the Clavell household once I got my game running and apparently a LOT of my Sims were not happy with their living situations! About half of my households split up, which is really ok because I’m planning on following one household member per day just to cut down on strain on my game.
Poor Holly Robbins was zombified! And she apparently broke up with Seth Monroe!
Inez Montero and Sherman Bagley were kicked out of their households!
Well that didn’t take long! Like I said, Pauline and Hank ALWAYS break up in my game!
My one and only teen, Newton Lincoln aged up over night!
And there’s a new baby on the way!
On to my played household. The boys are all up late avoiding the zombie apocalypse. Ugh, I need to look up how to turn them off again. Anyway, Xander is just dancing the night away LOL! He’s a funny Sim really.
Meanwhile, Conner has his nose stuck in a book and Warren has discovered a toy chest in the house! Better get to bed soon boys! Two of you have work tomorrow!
