Ashelia at War
Length: Indefinite. Currently twenty-five chapters are up. This one, however, will have an actual ending. Two sequels are planned.
Genre: Romance/Fantasy
Warnings: Adult themes, language, nudity, sexual situations, slight social commentary
The year is 1109 AE, and continent of Ashelia is in the midst of a bitter war between the opposing nations of conservative, stringent Shiromori in the south and lawless Tasius in the north. Against the backdrop of this war-torn land, this is the story of the unlikely romance that left the world standing still.
Princess Marusake is second in line for the throne of Shiromori. Brash, boisterous, and brutally honest, seventeen-year-old Maru’s wild, free-spirited nature is heavily constrained by the rigid society of which she is a part as she is forced into the social role of a dainty, blue-blooded lady who will marry well and assure her father of a much-needed alliance. Following a chance misadventure, Maru finds herself venturing into Tasius—and into the arms of Aurius, a troubled young Tasian of low birth, elevated to near-noble status by means of a sexual affair with a woman he secretly despises. This is the story of them—every code they break, every scandal they cause, and the evidence that shows that the most precious of things can sometimes be found in the most unimaginable of places.

In Fair Veronaville
Length: Indefinite. Currently six chapters are up. Will have a proper ending.
Genre: Romance/Historical/Fantasy
Warnings: Adult themes, language, nudity, sexual situations, sexual abuse/incest, social commentary
Set in the Maxis neighborhood of Veronaville, but deviates considerably from the original storyline. The city of Veronaville is torn apart by a feud between the Elite and Bourgeoisie classes, under the respective leadership of Lord Consort Thebe and Master Patrizio Monty. Consort’s thirteen-year-old granddaughter Juliette, traumatized by the untimely deaths of her parents and the sexual abuse suffered at the hands of her grandfather, as well as confused by her girlhood crush on local pretty boy Romeo Monty, finds a sanctuary in her friendship with Romeo’s brother Mercutio, who is passionately in love with her. As time marches on, the two are brought together, then apart; together again, apart again, together again. The story of a difficult love in a difficult time and place, a young man’s determination to liberate the girl of his dreams from her many demons, finally setting the both of them free.
The Kingdom of Naroni
Length: Indefinite. Currently one hundred posts are up. I plan on continuing this story for as long as there exist computers that run Sims 2.
Genre: Fantasy/Historical/Dramedy
Warnings: Adult themes, language, nudity, sexual situations, mild incest (“It’s the times”), slight social commentary
It all began on the fateful night of November 25, 1154. The next morning, the heir of a Dovian duke was to be married—however, it just so happened that his bride instead chose to elope with his bastard half-brother, causing a scandal that won both the shock and outrage of the Dovian nobility.
In order to save face, the duke’s heir was quickly betrothed to another woman, whom he wed on the morning of December 9 of that same year. The night before, several of his friends—including his cousin Roderick, the second-born Prince of Dovia—treated him to a forbidden bachelor party at a local tavern, where Roderick got drunk enough to publicly declare his dissatisfaction with the leadership of his father and older brother. Needless to say, the king promptly told Roderick that he had until the end of the year to leave the kingdom.
And so it was that Prince Roderick, along with his beautiful, yet licentious wife, their newborn son, a couple of spare-non-heir nobles, and a handful of tag-along peasants left Dovia and formed in a new kingdom, nestled away in a valley said to have been abandoned by the children of the gods. This is the story of that kingdom throughout its years, from the founding reign of King Roderick onward.
Please note: For the first twenty posts or so, the photo quality is rather bad. Those were the days of Maxis skins and eyes, low texture detail, and a complete lack of a lighting mod.

In the light of the one hundredth post, this story now has a companion blog, The Dovia Diaries, which can be read as a separate story or in conjunction with Naroni.
This House Is Vegas
Length: Fifty prompts. Currently thirteen prompts are up.
Genre: Drama
Warnings: Adult themes, language, nudity, sexual situations, implications of drug use and alcoholism
My SimFic50. Vinicio Morticelli is a mobster-turned-entrepreneur living in the town of Middleburg, New Jersey. Following a handful of ill-fated marriages, he has resigned himself to the companionship of Donatella, his much younger, gold-digging seventh wife, and his liquor cabinet. Also housed in Vinicio’s residence are his two teenage children: Arrigo, his promiscuous, cyclothymic second son, and Rachele, his kind-hearted, yet emotionally exhausted daughter. Vinicio plans to drag out the remainder of his days as unconsciously as he can, turning a blind eye to his Donatella’s intentions, Arrigo’s liaisons, and his own alcoholism… until his estranged first wife and their older son come back to town.
