After I updated today, the laptop died... again. So, we'll have to bring it into the repair shop tomorrow. I'll try to get them to work on it ASAP so that I will have it back in under a month. Otherwise, I'll have to do updates on my desktop computer until then, using angles that hide faces so no one will see that the Sims being used look nothing like the characters. ARGH!

haha screwed lol, couldn't resist that sorry about the laptop I take it you didn't make your characters on bodyshop but it's not the sims it's the story, but you already knew that the sims just help you imagine it better, and put across the emotions better

I did make the characters in Body Shop. Problem is, my laptop is DEAD. As in, can't turn it on at all. So, now I have to wait for the laptop to get back from the repairshop (again) so I can continue with the updates. Grrrrrr.

Roughly three weeks or less. The problem with this repairshop is that they will try to find replacement parts at a cheap price, but at the expense of taking too bloody long. So, I made sure to tell them I need the laptop within about three weeks, even if it means paying extra for the replacement part. Worst case scenario, I'll do what I did last time this happened and take the pictures using my desktop computer and just use shots that don't show the whole face or are at a distance...

Good news. I heard from the repairshop today. They've ordered the part (once again, it was a problem with the motherboard), and I should be getting my laptop back next week.

The part should be in this week. By the way, I've updated the story... just excuse the weird angles. Heh.

In case you folks are wondering about the lack of updates, it's because I've had to evacuate for Gustav.

I have updated. Yes, if you can't tell, there is power at my house. And internet. Feel free to celebrate however you wish (just don't break anything, or I'll lock you in a room with Dunstan).

Fine... then I'll lock you in a room with all the guys who were the inspiration for Dunstan. *Shudder* Actually, I think that would fall under the category of "cruel and unusual punishment."

Let's see... there was the 30-something year old student at my college who tried to get into the pants of several freshman chicks (when I was one... he tried his tactics on me, and I threatened to shove a boot so far up his butt, he'd taste it), including one of my suitemates.
He's also heavily based on a guy I used to date, who was very emotionally abusive, and, now that I look back, had very low self-esteem and was taking it out on everyone else.
He's also based on a friend of one of my close friends, who is a total hypocrite (for instance, he'd brag about being a good XYZ-religion boy, and then go out on weekends, get plastered, and try to bang as many chicks as possible).
He's also based off of one of the exes of an acquaintance of mine, who was basically like a nicer and younger version of the previous guy.
His physical appearance and the part about him being a musician are inspired by a friend of mine, who I was having a knock-down drag-out fight with when I started writing the story. (Said friend is a very nice guy, actually, and we've since made up.)
Any other characters you want to know the inspiration for? Most of the characters are, to some extent, based on real people (or, in a few cases, animals).

Tiffani is one of the few characters who isn't actually based off of anyone I know, per se, although there is a little bit of myself in her (and in most of the characters).
