This is the Open Ending

I'm afraid that I won't be continuing to the next generation of The Second Time Around.  I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to read and leave comments!  Your feedback has never failed to put a smile on my face.  Creating this story has been a blast, and I had an infinite number of ideas on where to take it next.

However, my priorities in life have changed.  I have decided to quit the Sims.  Seriously.  I'm uninstalling all the EPs and deleting all my saves after I post this.

I've been thinking about this for several months.  I second-guessed myself a few times partially because I loved this story and I really wanted to continue.  But ultimately, I decided that this is what's best for me.  I've lost far too much time to this game that I really want to use to pursue other things.

I'm still planning on keeping up with all of my favorite stories, so this isn't quite goodbye.  The sims community is a really talented, creative group of people and I had lots of fun being included among you for the short time that I was.

As a parting gift, (and to burn just a bit of the creative fuel that I'm tossing out) I've made a few (a reaping plumload, actually) lovely pictures for you to enjoy!
