You know, the Project Story Board!
Take a look at the sticky for a bit, and you'll know for certain what I'm talking about.

I looked at it for a good 5 minutes, but I still don't get it.
Could you explain?

You know Schip's Riches Galore story?
That became the first project.
Basically, it's User-Submitted Challenges. We create our own challenges, and submit them to either Pam or Metro, who then either veto or allow them (veto=forbid).
Once done, we create a thread containing our rules, and probably our own story to go with that, to which a moderator will place a link to in the first post of the sticky that's already there.
Do you get it, or should I explain more?
P.S They're not challenges. Those are created by Metro. These are Projects. Same principle, but different name.

Yeah, I understand that part.
But how would I turn the CC into a Project?

If you could call this a challenge (I call it a masterpiece), then PM the rules you follow (Start with 3 Sims, One evil woman to keep the other two in basement for years, a girl and a boy. The girl and boy cannot leave the basement except for the mother Zeneporting out...) to either Pam or Metro. Once they allow it, you can create a thread with the rules in the "Project Story Board". Once done, we can all play and create stories about our versions of the Churchills, no matter who they are.
If you don't want to do it, remember that it is your choice, and your choice alone. We won't use big sticks. :)

Finally, I am up to date. What an awesome story. I am 14 and I could write anything as good as this, I am too much of a perfectionist. I try to start a story and then scrap it.

Have any secrets apart from 'don't scrap it'?

Hmmm...
Well, I come up with most of my good ideas at midnight when I'm lying in bed and trying to sleep.
You could try that. ;D
As for not scrapping it, read the chapter again several times, and if you don't like it, try making some changes until you do. :-\
I'm glad you like my story! ^^

I'm not as good of a writer as Simstar, but you could just go on a Word War. I've used it and it's awesome. Basically, just type out a story, don't stop and don't change anything. Just type and leave what comes out. Even if it is like this:
An therefor the engin needing tepairng.
What I was trying to type there was "And therefore the engine needed repairing", but I didn't stop to change the spelling. If I had, the final product could've been:
"Car need fixing.", which is pretty bad. Just don't stop until you have reached a set goal, then go back to make spelling changes, and everything.

Chapter Thirty-One

      "FRANCE?!"
      "That's right, Olive. We just called the school, so you can take a week off and we con go on vacation to Champ les Sims. How does that sound?" Zachary told his daughter.
      Olive and her parents were sitting on the living room couch, a half hour after Olive's school had gotten out. Heather had just gotten off the phone with the school principal.
      "That's GREAT! Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" Olive hugged her parents and ran upstairs, where she dug her cell phone out of her desk drawer. She punched "4" on the speed dial, and waited for it to ring.
      "Hello?"
      "Hi, aunt Esther, it's Olive. Can I tal-"
      "Don't call me aunt Esther."
      "Oh, right. Sorry. Can I talk to grandma, please?"
      "Sure, one minute."
      "..."
      "Hello?"
      "Hi gramma! It's Olive. Guess what? I'm going to FRANCE!"
      Time skip..
      "What's taking them so long?" Heather grumbled to herself, looking at the front door. "They're just supposed to buy some snacks for the plane."
      Olive burst through the front door. "We're home!"
      Heather eyed the magazine in Olive's hands. "Why did you buy a tabloid magazine?"
      Zachary came in behind Olive, carrying two shopping bags. "I think you'll find the front cover interesting."
      Olive tossed her the magazine, and Heather caught it. "What, did Lola Belle switch brands of hair spray?"
      "Um, no, but-"
      "FIVE STAR BRIDGEPORT SUPERSTAR VIOLET CHURCHILL MARRIED LAST WEEK?! What the heck?!" Heather interrupted. "Why didn't she tell me she got married? I'm her sister!"
       Zachary shrugged. "She was probably really busy. She's a celebrity now."
      "I'm aware of that, thanks." She checked the clock. "I'll deal with Violet when we get home. Our flight leaves in an hour and a half. Everyone in the car.
Time skip...
----
Chapter Notes:

* Sorry it's so short, but it's late, and I'm tired. I knew I shouldn't have spent so much time watching music videos. -.-''
* You'll probably find out who Violet's husband is in about five chapters.
* This thread almost has 20,000 views. Never though so many people would read it. :)
* Tomorrow we get to find out what Metro's big surprise is! Woo!
* Sorry for the lack of Chapter Notes, but this was kind of a boring chapter.
* Sorry for this being a boring chapter as well. ^^''
* Tell me what you think of this chapter! Pwease? :3
