The Literal Booker Legacy - Generation 8, Chapter 4: Moving On


Welcome back to The Literal Booker Legacy!

This is the last chapter of the 8th generation before they go to college! How exciting!

I am also putting an heir poll up for this generation because I am genuinely torn between who to pick as heir. I'm leaving the choice up to you, lovely readers <3

The Literal Booker Legacy - Generation 8, Chapter 2: Closer


Welcome back to The Literal Booker Legacy!

Previously we lost all of my progress due to corruption and had to start over again. Nothing of total importance was completely lost, we still have our Booker graves and our heir portraits and Eliot and Christie are still intact.

When we left the last chapter, Christie was about ready to pop her first gen 8 baby out!

Let’s continue to see who our potential heir or heiress could be!

The Literal Booker Legacy - Generation 8, Chapter 1: Ch-ch-changes!


Welcome back to The Literal Booker Legacy! We are finally at generation 8!

A quick recap for everyone:

So, Yvonne Booker was our beloved founder and she married her college sweetheart, Andrea Benson. They had two daughters, Wynne (Diana Wynne Jones) and Austen (Jane Austen).

Austen was chosen as heiress and she married her high school sweetheart, Cherry Tan. Together they had four children: Bronte (The Bronte Sisters – Emily, Charlotte, Anne), Hardy (Thomas Hardy), Lawrence (D.H. Lawrence), and Atwood (Margaret Atwood).

Bronte and Atwood were tied at the heir poll and Bronte was ultimately chosen by me. Bronte ruled her generation singlehandedly, giving birth to Ellis (Bret Easton Ellis) and Shelley (Mary Shelley).

 I chose Shelley as heiress and she married her high school sweetheart, Heath Butler, and they had three children: Angelou (Maya Angelou), Morrison (Toni Morrison), and Baldwin (James Baldwin).

Baldwin won the heir poll, becoming the first male heir of the legacy! Baldwin married Serdar Shaikh, who he met at college, and they produced the first all-male generation – Dickens (Charles Dickens) and Wilde (Oscar Wilde). Unfortunately both Wilde and Dickens were face clones but Wilde won the heirship anyway.

Wilde married Lilly Do after having difficulty in finding a wife. Together, Wilde and Lilly brought another four Bookers into the legacy: Gaiman (Neil Gaiman), Eliot (George Eliot), Du Maurier (Daphne du Maurier), and Ryman (Geoff Ryman), the only alien to appear in the legacy so far.

Eliot won the heirship poll by a landslide and she married her college beau, Bruce Shweber. They had three children, Joyce (James Joyce), Alcott (Louisa May Alcott), and Christie (Agatha Christie).

Which brings us to this chapter, introducing Christie Booker and her fiancé, Blair Thorne, as they return back to the house to bring in generation 8. Are you ready?

Let’s go!
