I posted this picture on Garden of Shadows and I figured some LJ-ers might be interested as well.

Aw that's so cute. Your pictures always turn out so lovely.

[lolawastamed.livejournal.com]

:X Will this be in the next chapter?? :D I can't wait! Your pictures are always awesome. :)

[writingvixen.livejournal.com]

D'aw! ♥ it. The color is so warm and it looks so cozy. I love it.

[rhiannon-alexis.livejournal.com]

Even with the trash can next to the bed, adorable! I always love your pictures. I can't wait for the next chapter regardless if this isn't a part of it.

Heh, that's mainly just there to show the condom wrapper. ;)

[scribal-goddess.livejournal.com]

Which I totally didn't notice until you pointed it out.
Fitting two people on one dorm bed always seems to be an unusually cramped activity to me... but aaaw.

[skellington7d.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the single bed is a little cramped, but I figure Dina still had a nicer experience here than Nina did in the back of Donald's car. ;)

[lolawastamed.livejournal.com]

lmfao!
The back of his car, huh? That's awesome.

[rhiannon-alexis.livejournal.com]

Haha, I KNEW that's what it was!! I didn't want to be all, "OOOH CONDOM WRAPPER" and come off like a perv if it wasn't, haha.

[antimaccassar.livejournal.com]

Very pretty, and always your close attention to detail.

Hmm, just curious but how are you going to fit this in with Dina's memories? She seems still too young to be married already, but then again, Bella and Mortimer got married pretty young. I'll be interested to hear how your going to work it out.

[skellington7d.livejournal.com]

The marriage won't happen until they're a lot older. I'm trying not to contradict the given memories while still assuming things happened in between (otherwise all the premades would have big gaps of time in their lives where nothing of note happened).

The "woohoo" memories aren't very reliable because the "first time" memory came with university, so even characters with a bunch of kids think their next time is their "first time." Plus, Nina doesn't have any woohoo memories at the start of TS2, but I don't really think of her as a virgin at the point.

[antimaccassar.livejournal.com]

Very true, I guess I always looked on Dina and Michael's relationship as more of a love match than Dina marrying him for money when I realized they didn't sleep together until after they got married.

The fact that they are a few years apart in your story makes my thoughts kind of irrelevant. Glad to hear your view!

[skellington7d.livejournal.com]

That's a good theory, and I do like the idea of the May/December Michael and Dina being a love match (though that does call the whole "first kiss" memory into question.) Her lack of a "married a rich sim" memory is what convinced me it was more than what it seemed.

(Though *spoilers* I do have plans for dealing with the age gap and various other Michael Bachelor inconsistencies)

[antimaccassar.livejournal.com]

I can't wait to see how you round it out ;)

I hope you don't mind if I friend you, I am very anxious to follow your story!

[skellington7d.livejournal.com]

I don't mind at all! I like that you seem to be so familiar with the TS2 canon!

[antimaccassar.livejournal.com]

LOL, I wouldn't say that but I have spent my fair share of time messing about in Pleasantview.

[vegetasbubble.livejournal.com]

aww so cute...

how do you get your pictures to look so perfect and clear?

[skellington7d.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I use Gadwin printscreen to screencap them instead of the game camera. It makes for better quality jpegs.

[vegetasbubble.livejournal.com]

so downloading

thanks for the tip

:)

(btw, can't wait for an update)

[untidyfan.livejournal.com]

You know when Sims woohoo in public and the others gather 'round and cheer? I'm sorta doing that in my head. They make such a cute couple.

And thank goodness they were responsible about the whole thing!

[tomwood1906.livejournal.com]

Aww! Dina's always got the sweetest expressions.
(a tehnical question: is the blanket there for esthetical reasons, or you couldn't place them under bed's sheets without clipping? I only ask because I've figured out a way of shooting shit without clipping and I'm not sure if it's common knowledge or I have discovered a secret grail of knowledge. :D Like this _{(it's a pic that'll come in a few chapters in my story so it maybe looks a bit incesty out of context - it's not)})

[tomwood1906.livejournal.com]

What even...
*Dina always has the sweetest expressions. :D

[skellington7d.livejournal.com]

That picture looks wonderful! What is your secret?

(Also, I can't judge anyone for incesty pictures. I think half the pictures in my first chapter could be taken out of context as twincesty.)

[tomwood1906.livejournal.com]

Hey, I've been struggling to put my method in words, but it wasn't working. D: I'm in-game so I'll make you a tiny tutorial to explain it. It's actually really easy and quick, and useful for some of the situations where you've found the perfect shot but there's clipping and everything is ruined.

[zx-ta.livejournal.com]

They are so cute together, I can't wait :)

[niloublue.livejournal.com]

I officially can't wait for the next chapter!
This picture is lovely, Dina and Micheal look so sweet!

[erykahfairy.livejournal.com]

So cute :D Dina looks sooo in love in this picture.

[chickadeelee.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous lighting in that picture. I really admire your attention to detail (concerning the condom wrapper and the use of a twin bed instead of a larger one). Great picture!
