Gieke Legacy Challenge - 8/15 - UNDER CONSTRUCTION

[Lynnwood]

This is it guys! Chapter 4.6 is up for reading, and the heir poll is upon us!! Good luck and thanks in advance to everyone who casts their vote!

[Taube]

Cute.

Spoiler:

As of this moment, I have NO idea who I'm going to vote for, and I usually develop favorites. The kids definitely all have their own things going on. Good on you for attempting all those parties. I haven't had a popularity aspiration yet (besides in spares, in which case, who cares?) and I'm kind of scared of all of them. Watching you play Howard always makes me want to attempt the doctor career. Great job!

[Lynnwood]

Thanks!

Spoiler:

Blarg, I can't believe I've thrown as many parties as I have--and still need to throw even more! Socialization is definitely not my favorite part of sims, at least in a group setting. I don't mind romancing 2 sims together, but group socialization is . . . ugh. The doctor career is at times challenging (trying to figure out who has what disease), but LOADS of fun. I definitely recommend.

The HEIR POLL is OVER! Our winner is Jaina Gieke, with 10 out of 18 votes! Thanks to everyone who participated!

[Lynnwood]

UPDATE TODAY! Generation 5 officially begins! I hope you enjoy!

[Lynnwood]

Update today with chapter 5.2!! Enjoy!

[Taube]

Yay! Somehow I got two chapters behind, but I'm caught up now and loved it. I expected no less.

Spoiler:

My favorite parts of this chapter are the suspicious looks Howard and Su Moon gave Liam whenever he tried to interact with them. It's almost like they know! That and the final STD joke for Sheldon were high points. I'm excited to see what other names you choose for this generation and how the babies turn out, but I know they'll be adorable! Another wonderful chapter!

[Lynnwood]

@Taube - Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed the 2 chappies, thanks so much for reading and continuing to comment.

[emmalouise]

I have only just started reading this (just finished gen 1) so I still have a tonne to go to catch up but I just wanted to let you know I am really enjoying it so far! The family is adorable and your writing is very funny. I'm looking forward to reading more

[Lynnwood]

@Emmalouise - Yay, I'm glad to hear it! I hope you enjoy the rest of what I've got! Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

[Lynnwood]

UPDATE TODAY and to everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! <3

[Taube]

I read this when you posted it, but the holidays kicked my butt, so I'm just now getting around to commenting.

Spoiler:

Losing Su and Howard's reaction were heartbreaking! They were my favorite couple of your legacy so far. Hopefully they'll get to haunt together some time soon. I love that you used Jubilee as a name! I loved the X-Men cartoon in my grade school days, and back then her yellow coat seemed SO COOL, so this was a nice blast from the past, although I guess with her being in the upcoming movie it's a blast from the future too. Anyway! Good job reaching the top of the medical career. I've only played around at the bottom levels in a non-legacy save, and I've heard it gets decidedly hard, so respect for that. The reluctant job-required cheating is a good spin on that terrible aspiration. Definitely was my least favorite to play, but I hope it's not as bad for you. Sheldon ghost = !!! I wonder if he gets spectral STDs now. Anakin's party was fun. As usual, I'm looking forward to more!

[LostInReverie]

Yay, I'm finally all caught up with the Giekes again!

Spoiler:

Jaina is so sweet. I'm loving the naming theme this generation! Ugh, I can't pick a favorite from the kids so far. Maybe Wade? There is just something about that cute little smirk in the last picture. Haha.

[somebodysangel]

Thanks to the Golden Plumbob nominations, I've found some awesome TS4 stories to read. This one is my fave so far, just got caught up.

Spoiler:

So glad Jaina got heir, she was my fave of gen 5. This next generation is going to be interesting, so many choices for heir! I love Gamora's name the best, we'll see what she (and the others) are like when they're teens.

[Palmer]

This has been stickied for winning a Golden Plumbob award! In four weeks it'll become a regular topic once more.

[Lynnwood]

@ Lostinreverie - Yay!! I'm glad you're all caught up again, and even more glad that you enjoyed doing so! Thanks for reading and commenting! <3

@ somebodysangel - Woot! I'm so honored to have been nominated, and I'm super glad you enjoyed my little Giekes! Thanks for reading and commenting! <3

@ Palmer - WOOO! <3 Thanks so much!

[Lynnwood]

It's that time again! Time for a GIEKE UPDATE! Enjoy!

[Taube]

Fun, fun, fun. Did I say it was fun? Because it was. Your updates are just so enjoyable. Wonderful to see you back updating all your stories. Great job.

[klmnz]

Thank you for linking me to your legacies! I just binge read this one over the last couple of days and it's fantastic, so so funny. I love the Gieke family and the naming themes for each generation!

[Lynnwood]

Yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I love making my legacies silly and fun to read. A nice escape from real life and it's sometimes crappy travails. Thanks so much for the comment!
