maple street (kiwisimming rebuild).

it's been a year since I built anything in the sims, and I wanted to do something easier so I could refamiliarise myself with it. looked at some old kiwisimming speed builds, came across this house and decided to rebuild it and make it better. she gave me full permission to do so, don't worry! (get it lol the joke is that she is me)

Lia, OMG I love you! I’m gonna say “confirm” because I hope it’s true!

(why, yes, it might be wishful thinking and i don’t care. #comeatmebro)

Oh, are you?  Hadn’t noticed ;)

1) The fic was inspired by the characters of Argel Tal and Raum from the Horus Heresy series; the notion of a friendly, almost symbiotic daemonic possession stuck with me and The Other Thing is basically my spin on it.

2) For all that it seems obvious now, I didn’t actually decide that the other thing was the demogorgon until comparatively late in the game (read: the tail end of the daydreaming/brainstorming session that turned into the outline of the introductory plot arc)

3) El is in complete control of her body, and can only be influenced or changed by the other thing to the degree that she allows it.  I decided early on that El’s will takes precedence as the ‘native’ inhabitant of her body.  (Of course, the other thing can talk all it wants, much to her constant annoyance.)

4) The part in Chapter 2 where they play D&D together was one of the least fleshed out parts of my initial outline, which is why it took me by surprise when it ballooned into ~5k words of a ~7k word chapter.

thank you for the ask!!
