Taken - completed Dec 2013

Post by Rad »

There isn't a completed stories forum, so posting this here...

This was a fairly epic (3.5 years in the telling) story using Sims as illustration. Chapters linked here but if you go to the blog site some of them also have 'extras'.


1. Best Friends

2. Loss

3. On the run

4. Time to talk

5. The girls of 6B

6. Safe Haven

7. A New Home

8. Opening Up

9. Nita and Ando

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

46. Taking

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.

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...

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!

Hi! :wave: 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 :thup:.

I wish you the best of luck with your novel: it must be an exciting (or scary, perhaps?) assingment :D.
