"Welcome to my cleverly titled "Broomstick Files" challenge. *chuckles* I wanted to play around with the new "Realm of Magic" pack, and this was one of the first challenges I found that piqued my interest. I started the challenge, and continued with play.. and then I took my break from sims. When I came back, I re-read the rules to help re-familiarize myself with the challenge.... and I discovered something rather major. I'd already messed up. Instead of having the heir in the way the rules stated, I had gotten married and done things the way I usually would. I'd built a house that I adored, and had played for quite a while. Because of this, I considered just continuing, but I hate breaking challenge rules. So I thought about just using the sim I had saved from the start of my challenge and just starting over.. but that felt wrong, too. So, being addicted to starting challenges as I am, I made a new sim.. and started COMPLETELY over. Which meant a couple things. One, I needed a new house, because a starter sim couldn't afford the one I had built for the other sim. And two, I had to change my new signature/header graphic to reflect the different sim. Oh, and it also meant all the pictures I had taken and organized for the beginning of the challenge were useless.
And - just because I'm a glutton for punishment, the threads of a story had already started dancing in the back of my head, and wouldn't let me go. I had initially planned to just go commentary style, because it's infinitely easier... but I couldn't get the story out of my head, even while playing the beginning of the challenge. Everything my sim did just solidified the story, and made things more and more "real". So... against my better judgement... and after hours and hours of deliberation and arguing with myself.. I've decided that this will become my fourth current challenge that's done story-style."

"The Letter" (Prologue)
.. Now I have 80+ screenshots to start sorting through and writing story with...
Which should be fun... Oh yeah, and I'd love feedback on this prologue. What do you think? Intriguing? Or too much weirdness?
Caizey is definitely one-of-a-kind. She's fun to write for!
And I just love her dearly!
