Coming Soon!
Welcome to After The Calling, and thank you very much for passing through.
After The Calling is a modern sci-fi story enhanced with shots taken during Sims 2 gameplay. The story will follow the lives of a group of psychics whose abilities are at risk of exploitation by higher powers. The series should begin within the next few days, and there will be one or more updates a week.
At the moment, I am working (unwisely) between 2 computers: one with a crappy graphics card, but amazing everything else, and one with an amazing graphics card, but crappy everything else. The computers aren’t compatible, so I can’t switch anything around, and I’m being too stubborn to update the hardware of either. This basically means that the quality of my shots will vary between posts, outside of any tweaking I do, but I’m hoping that it won’t mess with the continuity. Hoping.
I want to thank the entire Sims 2 community for inspiring me to do this, as well as the many brilliant Sims 2 machinimist and story bloggers out there (particularly Decorgal, Atomic Space Kitty at Worlds Apart, goodbye_sun at 100 Days of Sorrow, and Mao at Knock It Down and Wings Of Steel), not to mention all of the talented custom content creators who make game play that much more awesome. (I will be putting up a custom content page in the near future.)
Again, thanks for visiting!

PS – Any feedback, good or spirit-killing, is always always always welcome.
Okay, I found this via WP’s built-in linking blogs feature thing (what is that even called, anyway? it has to do with technorati… or whatever…) I am the worst person with a PC degree ever… er, anyway ((coughs))
Thanks for the link! It always shocks me when anything of mine gets referenced anywhere. There aren’t many Sci-Fi stories I’ve seen with The Sims 2, so I am looking forward to what you’ll come up with! Good luck and welcome to the love/hate relationship that is sims 2 storytelling.
Oh, and I am currently working between OS’, so I can kinda relate to your quandary. It is a PITA… but a necessary evil at the moment.

Wow, I’m pretty much star struck. Thank you so much Mao for your post! I do hope you enjoy what I have to offer, as novice as it may be!

haha! I found your site the same way as Mao. Thank you so much for the link. I’ll be keeping an eye out on your site as I’m a huge fan of sci-fi. Good luck to you!
