The Bachelorette: An Interactive Story--Goodbye for Now 18/8

[Pupdude]

Rosa = Diva

Oh, for sure.

I'm going to guess she's also neurotic, considering how she freaked out about only one person working.

So, what's with the 7th bachelor?  Did whoever play as him opt out before you could introduce him, or was there never a 7th bachelor to begin with?  Or are you just throwing in story to entertain us while you have technical difficulties?

As Rosa said earlier:

Lilygirl is the last bachelor sponsor and she has had worse computer troubles than me and a lot of things going on in her life, so I completely understand why she has to be late this time.

[Pupdude]

Thanks, missed that one 

[Audren]

Wow, that house is beautiful! I've already seen some of intl_incident's work, mainly her penthouse, but I'm still amazed! Bravo to you! 

I think it's hilarious how both of us turn to the same builder for our interactive stories! It's like we know... 

[PeregrineTook]

I'm obviously missing out.  I need to get intl_incident to help me out with the building aspect too!  Fantastic-looking mansion!  I'm currently failing at making a good sized manor look Victorian (face palms and weeps softly to himself).

[Lilygirl]

A formal apology to everyone: I am holding things up, although it wasn't my fault. I had my bachelor half ready with plenty of time (a whole weekend!) to finish and then our hard drive fried. I simply couldn't turn the computer on Friday morning. Thankfully, my husband has a second smaller hard drive in the computer so while the big one is getting fixed we installed Windows 8 and TS3 on the little one so I can re-play my bachelor. But with raising a toddler and working 3 days a week, I'm got a lot of my time spoken for.

I promise I am doing my very best to get this guy up and running - making the most of toddler nap times and early bedtimes. I'm aiming for handing my gentleman over to Rosa this weekend. *Fingers crossed!*

It's not something you can help, so don't kick yourself, and play when you can. We can wait^^

[RainBeau]

The house look fantastic! I'm super happy your game is working again.

Thanks Louise. You are sweet. I'm really happy too, I am just so so happy I can't tell you.

Rosa = Diva

Oh, for sure.

Nope! No Divas in this set. There is certainly a Rosa with that trait, but not in these five. And she is not neurotic either.

Note: The only two that have overlapping traits are Rosa and Bella. They have two traits each that are the same as the other.

These traits have been guessed correctly: Rose--neurotic and bookworm, Della--heavy sleeper, Ombra--workaholic and computer whiz, Bella--charismatic.

So no one is neurotic except for Rose. The reason Rosa is freaked out that people aren't working is that she really wants everyone to work hard on this so that it's as good as it can possibly be. She expects everyone to be just as dedicated to it as she is. And it will help her look good for the executives if the show looks good. It will hurt her reputation if the show does not do well. There you go! Make what you can of that!

So, what's with the 7th bachelor?  Did whoever play as him opt out before you could introduce him, or was there never a 7th bachelor to begin with?  Or are you just throwing in story to entertain us while you have technical difficulties?

Thanks Mimi for answering that one

As I said! Coveted production designer, all the reality shows want her. Muahaha.

No way I'm going to attempt to build a Victorian house. That's way beyond my capabilities. And you can't have her until she finishes all my stuff Don't you know how jealous and clingy I am? You can always check out the Swap Shop, there's some good Victorian stuff there.

As Anna said, Lilygirl, don't worry about it. No one here will blame you for technical difficulties, as they have proven their loyalty and patience as readers through all of mine. Besides, it's giving  me an opportunity to branch out. This weekend, huh? Sounds like I'll have to come up with another interlude. Any requests? I have no ideas at this moment in time, though as soon as I turn my production crew loose I'm sure they'll come up with something.

Besides, you are a very busy lady! Got a lot going on! I can't blame you for having a life outside the Sims.

Oh oh oh! Rosa is a perfectionist! 
I hope you show the team again later on - hopefully when Della is awake - so we can learn more about them/you^^

Ding ding ding! Anna, you are correct! Rosa is indeed a perfectionist. I will show you more of them, sure. I will try to drop more hints as well. But as I said, any requests for interludes? I have a germ of an idea right now, but I would appreciate reader input.

You could do little interludes with the Bachelors while they're waiting, and maybe one with what Marielle's doing in the meantime as well^^

Yeah, Anna right. That will bring more riches to the story.
And also, behind the scene things would be a good idea, Rosa?
Something like bloopers lol.

Every time that I look into new replies post, I was wonder if this story is updated with next chapter ^^
I am still waiting for the next update

Ah, good idea. As far as I know they're in limbo right now, I don't have any idea what they're doing. Sponsors?

Hmmm, bloopers. I don't know what bloopers there would be right now, but I'll keep it in mind for the future. Okay, so I see requests for more behind the scenes things and an update on the bachelors and Marielle. Got it! Thanks.

Aw, thanks Eld. That's nice to hear. Funny, I always check to see if there are any new comments!

[Magz from Oz]

I love that house.  When this is all over, I'm definitely uploading it.

[PrincessMimi]

Okay, so this is pretty random, but you know how on some shows, some of the "extras" that you can get online are the people in the reality show giving tours of their home. You could have the sponsors do something like that. In relation to bloopers, I am sure some of the sponsors had their bachelors do some funny things when they were prepping for the show. They could send you pictures of that. Another possible idea is to have a series of photos from the sims' "childhoods".
Any of these could also work for Marielle. Of course, all of these are contingent on the sponsors doing a little extra work, so if you don't wanna do stuff like that, you could show some disagreements between Rose, Della, Ombra, Rosa, and Friends.

p.s. I should have mentioned this earlier, but Marielle is one of my favorite names. I like all names that end in -elle, and Marie is my "official" name. So basically, it's the perfect name in my mind.
