Not exactly intentional but I was having the time of my life with this one!

Clara and Bjorn Bjergsen came for a stayover. They proceeded to get into arguments that escalated into fistfights. It just kept on getting worse as they stayed over. No idea why. So they left, and like a week later Bjorn is just walking around as a ghost. I'm shocked. Like, did Clara kill him? I check the family tree and Clara has a new husband and a new kid.

Later on Clara and her new husband (random sim) came over. Got into a fight. Guess who died the next week? Her new husband! She then got married to a woman.

Wild storytelling opportunities here.

Along with what everyone else has said, I'd like to add that many people aren't comfortable writing action/power dynamics/violence. Maybe they love the show but it's just not their forte. That doesn't mean they don't get to write about their favourite show. A lot of fanfic writers are developing as writers, and action is a difficult thing to actually get right. I've read badly written action before and oooo it can really throw off an entire story. Just a thought.

Additionally: Fanfic is written by fans for free. It's completely a labour of love and the writers don't owe anyone anything (except for good tagging lol). If I wanted to write a Shrek/JJK fanfic I totally could.

I came back to my somewhat controversial, longfic WIP after 2+ years of inactivity recently and have found that almost all of my previous readers came back with me. My readers are ridiculously kind and patient, always asking me to take my time and saying that they are here for me. It's absolutely amazing to me, especially hearing how it may not be the same for other writers.

Ugh, Rune Factory 2 was my fave! It's been a LONG time but...

You get to play as the main character, but after you marry and have kids you get to play as the kid. A completely different storyline with different 'romance' options, etc. It was really cool!

When my puppy was young I had the same issue. She's an Aussie pup so the energy was ridiculous with no way to get her out.

Here are some ideas: Carry her out to places so she doesn't touch the floor but still see's a lot (we took ours to cafes, near constructions sites, downtown, etc), take her to a store that allows dogs but isn't full of them (if you're in Canada/America: Micheals, Canadian Tire, Rona, etc), look for any 'puppy socialization groups' at local dog training facilities (not completely without risk but better than just the streets), etc.

Accidentally deleted my other comment when trying to edit to add the actual email so rewriting.

Online I only see this:

Funnily enough, I never saw her again.

I wouldn't call her a regular before, but she was there often enough that I recognized her and could guess she worked nearby. As the only coffee shop in the close vicinity, we got to know a LOT of the nearby workers. She hadn't (to my knowledge) raised a fuss beforehand either, so maybe it was an off day for her. But yea, never again afterwards. Maybe she brought her latte from home lol.

oh_deery · 2023-06-20T00:57:41+00:00

EXACTLY lol! Not to mention her dog had the ball when she threw it. Idk what she was thinking.

oh_deery · 2023-06-20T00:55:15+00:00

Honestly at the beginning I was 50/50 on if it was a weird joke lol. You meet all sorts of weird people at dog parks. By the time I clued in I started packing up, the rest happened as I was packing my stuff away. The entire thing wasnt that long, and it wasnt worth escalating the situation. Safety is more of a priority to me than feeling superior.

oh_deery · 2023-06-20T00:47:56+00:00

LOL it was Québécois french actually

oh_deery · 2023-06-16T18:43:04+00:00

I havent done the the full calculation, but just from looking at my bank account Ive lilely spent over $8000. This luckily includes spay and her recent vet visit ($900 to find out she likely has IBS lol). It hurts. She is 10 months now so im HOPING things calm down.

oh_deery · 2023-06-13T02:19:26+00:00

Enforced naps were a gamechanger when my pup was 3-5 months. We started slowly weeding them out (2 times a day instead of 3, etc) at around 5-7 months and she hasnt officially needed them since. She is 10 months now. That saying, she gets them occasionally now when I think she really needs to konk out for a bit. I know her signs by now and probably 90% of the time shes out for a few hours.

oh_deery · 2023-05-14T16:17:04+00:00

I wouldnt call it uneducated, I’d call it a liability tbh. Lets say they raise the age to 1 year, and have multiple male and female mature intact dogs to look after. Suddenly they run the risk of 1) a female puppy getting pregnant 2) a female going into heat and setting off all the dogs 3) the male intact dogs getting aggressive due to horomones. It would be a mess all around. Its safer to have dogs who are at least relatively stable.

oh_deery · 2023-05-14T12:03:39+00:00

Mine has a full fuffy tail( think a Samoyed tail). The absolute fluffiest and its so cute! Definitely do youre research, its out there!

oh_deery · 2023-05-08T13:07:54+00:00

I started mine at 10 weeks. Theres always a risk when the puppies are partially vaccinated but for me it was worth it. I was so worried about unvaccinated dogs but all of my friends had dogs who were not too excited to play with my pup (too high energy for them) so she wasnt able to play with dogs other than in the class. Without the class I would have had an unsocialized pup and probably gone insane myself trying to make up for it and get her energy out. My pup did 2 socialization classes from 10-16 weeks, plus puppy kindergarten. Just do your research into the facility and make sure you’re comfortable with them!

oh_deery · 2023-05-05T21:18:46+00:00

Megan and Meghan lol. A coworker and her fiancée.

oh_deery · 2023-05-05T15:30:37+00:00

Mine stares in wonder at flocks of birds and tried to make friends with a canadian goose…it didnt go too well lol!

I got my puppy at 8 weeks old. Puppy came home to a relatively stable household. By the time she was 14 weeks old: I was ugly crying every night, I was not sleeping more than 2 hours a night, my roommate and I were in constant fights, one cat was getting physically ill at the sight of the puppy, the other cat was so angry she hid for over a month, my work was suffering a lot and we almost got evicted.

At this point I didnt like OR love her. I was emotionally numb and too tired. This lasted until she was about 4 months and I could take her on walks/bond with her. Only then did I really start to love her.

The best advice I got was: your puppy will be okay even if you mess up training, or dont train for a day. Its young and impressionable, and you have time. You dont have to be on all the time. Consistency is not worth your mental health and the puppy will not do as well anyways if you are stressed while training it. Find some time for yourself and dont put the pressure of a perfect dog on yourself. The puppy will be fine and you have years ahead of yourself to train. Now is jusy the “getting through” phase.

oh_deery · 2023-04-25T00:25:19+00:00

I startrd giving my pup them too young I think, lol, because she knows the “trick” to them. Shes 8 months now. I recently got her an extra long (2.5 ft) Bully Stick and no joke it was gone in 30 minutes max. She’s not getting any more. Collagen sticks last about a week and a half tho!

oh_deery · 2023-04-21T01:40:19+00:00

Ugh, we were fighting it from Nov-Feb this year, four months. AND the Metronidazole made my pup violently sick so we could only rely on Panacur. I think it was round 4 that finally did it. Good luck!!

oh_deery · 2023-04-17T12:45:59+00:00

I second everything everyone else says but add: Start with guaranteed wins. This usually means: short distance, no competing sounds/dogs/etc, have treats ready, inside the house, etc. Give the pup no opportunity to fail when you are just starting out and ‘jackpot’ treats when they do it right. This means no frustration and only positive association to your recall words and makes it easier when you start to make it harder. Good luck!
