The Literal Booker Legacy - Generation 5, Chapter 3: Hello, Goodbye

Welcome back to The Literal Booker Legacy!

Previous we had two boys born into the legacy but they were unfortunately face-clones. But not to worry, we move on and we deal with the hands we are given!

The Literal Booker Legacy - Generation 5, Chapter 2: Did you Know Pirates Had Bedtimes?

Welcome back to the Literal Booker Legacy!

Previously, Baldwin became our first male heir and married his college sweetheart, Serdar Shaikh. They had one son, Dickens, and Serdar was revealed to be pregnant with another child!

The Literal Booker Legacy - Generation 5, Chapter 1: You're in my House!

Welcome back to the Literal Booker Legacy where the aim of the game is breed out the black hair from the founding generation, will I succeed, only time will tell!

Of course, that’s not actually the case. The aim is to get to ten generations, using the naming theme of author’s last names for each child.

Yvonne Booker was our founder, she married Andrea Benson, and the two had two daughters: Wynne and Austen. Austen carried on the family line with her own wife, Cherry Tan, and they produced four children, two daughters, Bronte and Atwood, and twin sons, Hardy and Lawrence. Bronte was voted heir and had two children with a vacation townie, Zeeshan Sims: Ellis and Shelley. Shelley became heir (because I chose her because she was pretty) and married her childhood sweetheart, Heath Butler. The two had three children, Angelou, Morrison, and Baldwin.

And in a rapid turn of events, as I was beginning to get downtrodden and almost turned the legacy into a matriarch, Baldwin became heir!

Shall we follow the adventures of him and his soon to be husband, Serdar Shaikh?

The Literal Booker Legacy - The Spares: Ellis, Hardy, Lawrence, Atwood, & Wynne

Welcome back to the Literal Booker Legacy but not really because these are my beloved spares!

We have a new family joining Everivory Fields!

The Literal Booker Legacy - The College Years: Part 2, Drama-Llama!

Shall we read on to see who won?

The Literal Booker Legacy - The College Years: Part 1, Let's Make Some Music

Hello and welcome back to the Literal Booker Legacy!

We've finally reached the college years of our fouth generation! We are so close to that half-way point, I can almost taste it!

The Literal Booker Legacy - The Spares: Hardy, Lawrence, Atwood, & Wynne

Welcome back to the Literal Booker Legacy, except we're not at the main household this time!

Today, we're visiting the spares as you can see from the title. I was even kind (or narcissistic) enough to remind you who the spares are!

We'll be starting at Hardy's home first.

The Literal Booker Legacy - Generation 4, Chapter 3: At Last

Hello and welcome back to The Literal Booker Legacy where literature is the name and Sims 2 is the game!!

Bronte’s daughter, Shelley, married Heath Butler, her high-school sweetheart and the two had three very cute children, Angelou, Morrison, and Baldwin.

The Literal Booker Legacy - Generation 4, Chapter 2: Same Old, Same Old

Welcome back to the Literal Booker Legacy. Bronte’s second-born child became heiress (because I chose her nyeh). Shelley married Heath and gave birth to three children, one after the other: Angelou (Maya Angelou), Morrison (Toni Morrison), and Baldwin (James Baldwin).

The Literal Booker Legacy - Generation 4, Chapter 1: Forever & Always

Welcome back to The Literal Booker Legacy!

A quick recap:

Bronte, our second generation heiress, gave birth to two children: Ellis (Bret Easton Ellis) and Shelley (Mary Shelley). Shelley was chosen as heiress and I contemplated making this legacy a matriarch but who knows, perhaps we’ll get our first male heir this generation?

Regardless, let’s get on with this chapter!

The Literal Booker Legacy - The College Years: Part 1, Paradise Lost

Welcome back to The Literal Booker Legacy!

Bronte's kids are all grown up now and have gone to college!

The Literal Booker Legacy - Generation 3, Chapter 4: Don't Cry Over Me

Hello, hello, hello and welcome back to the Literal Booker legacy! 

We are starting off with a bang!

So far, Bronte became heiress, had two children, Ellis and Shelley, and Austen and Cherry passed on.

The Literal Booker Legacy - Generation 3, Chapter 3: The Good and the Bad

Welcome back to the Literal Booker Legacy, shall we have a little recap?

Bronte became heiress of the Booker family and gave birth to a baby boy named Ellis after having a whirlwind romance with a handsome young man on Twikki Island. Unfortunately, Austen was the first of the 1^st Generation to pass on, leaving behind a wife and four grown children.

The Literal Booker Legacy - Generation 3, Chapter 2: Tiny Love

Welcome back!

In our previous chapter, Bronte returned home after graduation and took a trip to Twikki Island where she met Zeeshan Sims. There she got pregnant with her first child, a son named Ellis after Bret Easton Ellis.

The title of this chapter is also taken from a song on MIKA's new album, My Name is Michael Holbook, and it's definitely worth a listen.

The Literal Booker Legacy - Generation 3, Chapter 1: You're Going to be Fine

Hello and welcome back to the Literal Booker legacy! We have finally reached generation 3!

A little recap because it’s been so long: Yvonne Booker, our founder, started the legacy with her wife Andrea Benson. Andrea and Yvonne had two girls, Wynne and Austen (named after Diana Wynne Jones and Jane Austen respectively).

Austen won heirship and started the second generation with her wife, Cherry Tan. Between them, Cherry and Austen birthed four sims: Bronte, Lawrence and Hardy, and Atwood (named after the Bronte sisters, D.H. Lawrence, Thomas Hardy, and Margaret Atwood).

Bronte was voted (which ended up in a tie and was ultimately chosen by me) heir and now we start her story!

The Literal Booker Legacy - The Spares: Wynne | Part 3: New Beginnings

Welcome back to the third and final part of Wynne’s side story. If you’ve read all the previous parts and are waiting for the conclusion then here you go! If you have read the side story before when it was part of the original legacy but decided to re-read for whatever reason you may have, thank you for taking your time out to read this.

Honestly, that goes both ways: Thanks to everyone who read this side story. I really hope you enjoyed this – it definitely stretched my creative writing skills as well as tested my storytelling through sim photography.

The Literal Booker Legacy - The Spares: Wynne | Part 2: Ricky

Welcome back to Wynne’s side story! Previously Lyndsay and Wynne went out clubbing to help Wynne get over Amar. Whilst dancing, Wynne meets a guy named Jace. They hit it off right away and Wynne allows herself to indulge in a little naughtiness for her Fortune standards. However, things aren’t looking so rosy for the couple as Wynne is unsure about her feelings for Jace.

The Literal Booker Legacy - The Spares: Wynne | Part 1: Mistakes

Hello! This is not a typical Booker Legacy chapter BUT it is a focus on our beloved first generation spare, Wynne! We will follow her storyline as she goes through trials and tribulations trying to find the one after Amar broke her heart at university.

She deserves a happy ending.

The Literal Booker Legacy - The College Years: Part 2, What's Mine is Mine

Welcome back to the Literal Booker Legacy!

I've been gone a while, right? A lot of things have happened to me... Most of them are bad BUT I do have exciting news to share!

I'll be moving to South Korea next year so I'm hoping that I'll get a significant portion of this legacy done before that. Fingers crossed for me :D

Anyway, recap time! Austen and Cherry brought four potential heirs into the Booker family: Bronte, Hardy and Lawrence, and Atwood. 

Who will win the heirship? Let's read on to find out!

The Literal Booker Legacy - The College Years: Part 1, In the Name of Romance

Hello and welcome to a BRAND NEW chapter of the Literal Booker Legacy! An unseen chapter full of college antics!

So, I apologise for basically disappearing without a trace. In case you aren't aware of this, I am currently an English Literature student and I am on my third year. As you may also know, the further you get in your course, the more difficult it becomes and I had to give up A LOT of stuff to focus on getting through the first half of my third year.

But I made it out alive and I'm back now. Hopefully I will finish this legacy soon, but even if I have to continue this when I'm in Singapore, teaching English next year, then so be it!

Without further ado, let's recap!

Recap: Bronte, the eldest second gen. kid, up and left for college and was soon followed by her twin brothers, Hardy and Lawrence. 

There had been a poll opened to choose the heir and since, their heir has been chosen as it became a tie and thus was up to me to choose. I wonder if you can guess who I chose. You won't find out until part 2, but still...

Enjoy!

The Literal Booker Legacy - Generation 2, Chapter 1: U & I

Hello and welcome back to the Literal Booker Legacy! Chaos and cheesy romantic lines abound!

I'm going to do something different with my titles. For the rest of generation 2, every title will be a reference or the title of a song by the Korean artist, Kim Jonghyun, as a memorial to him.

Previously in our story, Yvonne, our founder, met and married Andrea Benson and brought two girls into the world: Wynne and Austen. Both vying for the crown as the heiress of the first generation, Austen ultimately ended up winning leaving Wynne as a spare to live her days happily and freely on her own in luxury.

Shall we see what Austen and Cherry are up to after leaving college?
