[Glamily]

luv it!

[Stelio Kontos]

Another epic update.
I really need to consider asking Dr. Phil to take Shirra and Ileeya onto his show.
Although the drama between them might be too much even for Dr. Phil.

[Glamily]

lol.. that might be true Rock Justice. I really do love this story.

[mpb4l1fe]

Oooh, I feel kinda bad for Shirra.

Anyways, I can't wait to read more! Loved it as usual

[steelguy]

*Shakes head* Yet another evil meglomaniac warlord loosed upon the world through parental neglect. *Sigh* When will people learn?

Great update!

[discowhipped]

Great update! Can't believe I missed it on Friday. Ooh witch persecution is really interesting lol. Shame on their father! I kinda still feel sorry for Shirra... Then I remember she's a totalitarian psychopath who's carrying evil spawn and trying to ruin other people's lives!

[Astral Faery]

Oh my!  I'm so sorry for not responding sooner.  I feel horrible - sorry about that, everyone.  And look how many fabulous repsponses you all gave me.

Vicky - aw, thank you.  Yes, this story is coming toward the end, now.  Just a few chapters left to go.  Thank you for your comments!

Damon - thanks, Little Man.  I'm very happy you enjoyed this chapter.  The actual fight will be coming very soon.  There's a little more backstory to cover first.  Keep that popcorn handy.  And you can gladly pass over any spare chocolate you may have laying around

Terri - I feel bad for her, too.  Thanks for reading.

RIP - thanks

RJ - I think Dr. Phil would be just a teeny bit over his head with these two.  Still, that would be kind of funny for a parody sometime, wouldn't it?  Actually, maybe the twins should go on the Jerry Springer show, lol!

mpb - thanks!  If you feel bad for Shirra now, wait until the next chapter - believe it or not it gets worse!

steelguy - thanks.  Not just parental neglect, though.  More bad stuff happens to her, first, before total megalomania takes complete control.

disco - yes, yes she is.  All of the above and rotten to the core, lol.

Did I catch everyone?  I hope so.  Thanks for reading!  You guys give the most awesome support!

[Devomuffins]

I think Shrirra needs to stop trying to rule the world and ask someone for so help. I think she needs a hug.

[Stelio Kontos]

I think Shrirra needs to stop trying to rule the world and ask someone for so help. I think she needs a hug.

I tried that once.
I have:
-the marks to prove it.
-not been allowed to make any sudden movements due to blood loss
-reduced eyesight
-reduced hearing
-lost both thumbs
-astronomically high medical bills

I smell a novel writer in our midst... Just spent 9 hours reading straight through...sounds like a good book to me...eye strain....omg...it burns...lol  Even paused in starting my triple layer fudge to read...and forgot all about it. More, more, more..the fudge is depending on it....

[Astral Faery]

Ack - sorry - missed comments again.  It's been a hard week  Sorry for my late reply.

Lola - thanks for reading - glad you enjoyed it.

egghugger - lol - that probably would have helped, huh?

RJ - LOL - you always crack me up.  

Rosebud - Why thank you!  That's quite a compliment.  I was actually going to try to turn it into a novel, but it was kind of short.  But then I felt pulled to make it into a sims story.  9 hours!?  I guess it's plenty long enough then, isn't it?  I'm glad that it kept you reading for so long (that's what every writer wants), but sorry about your fudge.  I'm a chocoholic, and there's little more tragic than ruined chocolate.

[Rosebud1773]

LOL...didn't ruin the fudge, just never got it started. White chocolate, butterscotch and regular chocolate....I think I'll have some sugar overload.....and more story..hehe. By the way, a novel need only consist of 100 pages to be classified as a novel, but a good rule of thumb would be 200 pages to avoid the much feared 'short story'.. You've got a nice start..keep up the great work..

[Astral Faery]

Sugar overload always sounds like fun, especially when we're talking about chocolate.  I was really stressed out yesterday while dragging my kids around grocery shopping, and picked up a Ghirardelli fudge brownie mix (with fudgy icing).  I can't decide if I want to make it today, or wait until Monday when everyone is back at school so I won't have to share, lol.

I think it topped out at between 130-150 pages after I finished the ending.  I could probably lengthen it if I went back through it and put in more detail in lots of spots - especially the beginning.  I wrote that a long time ago and it could use some polishing.  I probably should have done that while posting it, but I was too lazy, lol.  But it's something I'll definitely keep in mind.  Who knows, in a couple of years maybe I'll have a hardback copy of it sitting on my shelf

Not forgetting the fact that, without the pictures, you'll need extra text to describe the scenes taking place Depending on the pics, you might not need to compensate in some places, but in others where you let the pictures speak, you'll need your thousand words to replace them
