Story Submissions

We are currently accepting story submissions for the TSW Newsletter. If you have a hand at writing and want to focus on something community-related or The Sims Series related, or want to give an opinion piece, add your submissions in a subsection here. Remember to put the {{UserSubmitted}} userbox on your userpage after you've submitted a story!

Requirements and rules

Focus on a topic related to TSW, the Sims community, or The Sims series.
Editors may edit your submission for grammar, punctuation and spelling without permission, and may remove some sections to decrease length if necessary (though we'll try and avoid that). An editor will contact you on your talk page if submission must be edited for another reason, and will try and work with you to get the submission fixed up.
Editors may deny any submission due to poor quality, lack of space, length (either too long or too short), or because of the subject. Please make your submissions as interesting as possible.
Story ideas are appreciated too: if you have an idea for an interesting topic, suggest it here and we may write about it.
Submission Deadline for all issues is the 10th.

The Sims 3: Supernatural by Bakerychaz (talk page · blog).

The Sims 3: Supernatural is the newest Sims 3 expansion pack, and comes with 5 new life states - Fairy, Vampire (revised), Zombie, Werewolf and Witch. Fairy looks great, it isn't too hard to become one - you can become one in CAS. Vampire is revised from the Vampire state in The Sims 3: Late Night, but EA/Maxis are being very secretive about it. Witch looks pretty similar to the Witch life state in The Sims 2: Apartment Life. In my opinion, Werewolf should have been introduced in The Sims 3: Pets. I think the Werewolf life state looks good. Zombie also looks similar to the Zombie stage in The Sims 2: University. Supernatural looks like it would be the biggest EP yet, as it has so many life states, spells and abilities. EA/Maxis is being quite secretive about it, though the trailer has been released. Supernatural looks good, but University and Seasons should have been released first - that's what the fans are asking for. Supernatural's trailer was good and really summed up the whole EP. Supernatural has great abilities. The life states look great and a lot better than the other limited life states (such as Imaginary Friend, Mummy, etc). Overall, I can't wait for Supernatural. Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed this, written by Bakerychaz (talk page · blog) 05:25, July 5, 2012 (UTC).
