User blog:WikiBuilder1147/The Sim's Pen - 18th August 2015



Hello everyone, and today, we're going to do something a little bit different. For one, it's the first anniversary of The Sim's Pen! To celebrate, we're going to release a special edition this week, presented by our principal writers, TheTimMan, k6ka and Auror Andrachome! We also have a shiny new logo! (It was already unofficially revealed by k6, but we're officially launching the new logo today!)

Dominate is a game of survival that revolves around the concept of, well, dominating all other players. The basic idea is that you play as a person living in a certain world, using money, alliances, crime and everything else you think of to ensure the survival of yourself or your family lineage! The current game is set in Sunset Valley. Join now, and dominate all others!
 * The Dominate Game needs more players!

(Shameless self-promotion) Yep, so I got "Part 8" released after working on it for some time. Daniel has run away from home, the Pleasant twins are getting together, and Mary-Sue's struggling to keep herself from falling to pieces. Daniel's sister, Jennifer, offers to help Daniel rebuild his life. What will become of the Pleasant family now that they are divided? (This part isn't finished, but I'll definitely add to it as time passes)
 * Part 8 of Fanon:Pleasant family (K6ka)‎ released!

Must-reads
''Want your fanon to appear on this list? Please nominate it! We are always looking for excellent fan fictions to feature here!''
 * By TheTimMan

''Who will have the honour of having their fanons featured in the first anniversary special? Only the best of the best, of course! So we'll rewind through the previous 46 issues' Must-Reads and showcase the most well-written of the lot!''

By far one of my favourites on the entire fanon namespace, The Life of Bella Goth is an epic masterpiece capturing the special (and not so special, but equally entertaining) moments of the life of one very special Sim, Bella Goth. Following her life from adolescence to her untimely demise, this fanon story is surely deserving of being on today's Must-reads list!

Alternative title: An Unusual Week. Genre: Thriller. Involves a party celebrating the birthday of a...slightly unhinged teen. I love it!

...

Need I say more?

I simply cannot get enough of this guy! He's absolute perfection! ...Well, not really. He loves to rip off Sims with easily breakable stuff though - that's always a plus. Anyway, Mush is a famous repo-man, and a corrupt, womanising CEO of a 24/7 (not) Wedding Chapel! Totally living the high-life with the Mushes!

SPECIAL — Horoscopes!
We bring back a feature from the old Newsletters just for this issue! We present the one-and-only Auror, the famous psychic and astrologist, who will read the stars and tell you what is to come for your star sign this week!

Thanks to our biggest authors!
We'd like to take this opportunity to thank users who have contributed greatly to fanon over the years:

SPECIAL — Comic captioning contest!
We are running a competition this week! Below are a series of images depicting children from TS4 doing random things. Try to create text to string the images into a flowing comic strip!

The best and/or funniest ones will be featured next week! The creators will also get a shiny medal, and virtual hugs from us! Get a-captioning now!

SPECIAL — Guess the fanons!
'''Another competition! Yayyy! If you take a really (and we mean really''') close look at our new logo you can see fanon images on the newspaper! If you can guess which fanon at least one (or all, your choice) of these pictures (or even what they depict, that'd be even better :D) are from, you'll get a shiny medal from us! And a virtual hug if you'd like one (Pretty much same stuff as in the previous one, but pshh, whatever). Get guessing now! Leave your answers in the comments section below!
