I AM SOOO SORRY!! I'm going to start getting the picutres for the next chapter ASAP and hopefully I still have at least 1 fan? I know I lost a lot of you and I'm sorry D:
(PS-Expect at least 2 chapters this week cause its SPRING BREAK!! :D
Keep you up-to-date
Hey everyone. No, I'm not going to start writing again just yet, because I've got alot of concerts, after school projects, reharsals, adutions, ect., ect.
I have written the next part of The Telescope, but I haven't got the pictures and I know they're going to be hard to find. Oh, but I do have some exciting news about why this might take a while to finish.
At school today, a proffesional author (I'm not sure if you have read any of her books, but her name is Vivian Vande Velde. she wrote the books Remembering Raqueal (reaaaally good book!!), Stolen, Now You See It..., There's A Dead Person Following My Sister Around, and a ton others. here's her website: http://www.vivianvandevelde.com/bookLists.cfm?BookCategory=3 ) talked to all students who had an A in Literature (Yaaaaay im special! And in advanced literature! :D) about her books, making books, ect., and while she was talking, she came told us about a publishing company who publishes books written by people 18 and under. As soon as she said that, my adreanilne pumped in and I started thinking about the book I just started writing, Cooper Island. I was thinking of maybe puting it on TSR, but it'd be a lot of work-even more work than The Telescope!-because it involves a plane and a plane crash. (You can probably guess where my story has gone with this, but I tried to add originally with to it, so don't judge me!) I know I'm being ambitious, but I am going to give this all a shot. And don't ask me for the name of that publishing company because I don't know the name. She's sending my school library a list of publishers like that and I'll try to get anyone whose interested in that the names.
So yes, I'm very very busy now but I will try to squeez in as much time as possible for TSR.
Thank you so so so SOO much for being patient and being understanding in this.
You are all so awesome. :)

Sorry everyone, but I've got bad news....
Hey everyone...well I'm sorry to say it but I'll be takinga break. Not for long hopefully, but I really can't post anymore right now.
And before you go all complainy on me let me explain why.
First of all, I have school.
Second, I have piano practice, play rehearsals, and FFA stuff to do afterschool.
Third, My grandfather just died, so I'll be busy with that. So I'll be gone for probably 1-2 weeks.
Sorry everyone. Thanks for reading though.
Take care and don't kill eachother in my absence :P

REJECTED!?!?
Oye. Add this to my problems list.
So last night, I sent in Part 6 to be published. I was so happy and excited, I had finally got back on track. I even have half of Part 7 done! This is great! Nothing can ruin this!
WRONG! So apperantly I had to remove some parts due to violence (no murder or suicide or death, I swear!!). Which really ticks me off because now the dramatic effect has been ruined. And everyone who knows me knows how much I loooooove drama!!
Just kidding. I actually tend to stray away from drama ang gossip and all that crap, but I do like suspense, which is what was taken away.
:'(
So now I have taken out those parts and added a lil bit more to make it sound a bit better, but I'm still steamed that 2 DAYS OF MY TIME WERE WASTED ON MAINLY THOSE PARTS, AND NOW I HAVE TO GET RID OF THEM!!!!!!
Whatever I guess. Ya win some, ya lose some. Hopefully in a couple years when I can actually have a job, my story can be published as a REAL book and maybe then you can all read the real suspense.
Yes, I am a huge dreamer and too ambitious for my own good. ;)
Thanks for being patient, and I am really sorry.
You guys are amazing :)

What's up with The Telescope (Part 6)
Hey everybody! I'm sorry that I didn't get it posted....uh...last week(was it last week?) like I said, but I have been working on it the whole time.
It's sort of a longer chapter and it's harder because I have to edit a ton of the photos. Why? You'll find out...
And before everyone asks how I edited those photos or how I got it to do that in the sims game, let me tell you that I edited them using an online painting site called sumopaint.com . It's sorta like an advanced, harder system of the Paint operation on most computers. It takes a long time to get these photots to look good and look like they're supposed to, so I'm sorry that it's not yet posted.
Also, I have to find time to let the others in my house use the computer, so I'm usually only getting about 2 hours to do this, which is about how long it takes to edit the photos, clear them, and all the other junk I have to do to make them look normal. So thanks for being patient.
I'm hoping to send it for publishing tonight and seeing it posted on Monday, but it probably will be longer than that.
Again, really sorry but it's hard to find photos for this!
-Allyson
Everything is OKAY! ...I hope!
FINALLY, everything is back to normal with my Sims game!!!!!!!!! I will post the next chapter up tomorrow so hopefully it will be up by Thursday. I would do it tonight, but I have 2 projects to finish, a new fish I have to tend to, and a boatload of other things.
Thank you SO MUCH for your patience and for the comments. (Thanks to those who whished me well, I am better, just sore from inner tubing this past weekend :P)
I am getting new ideas for stories everyday, so excpect much more after The Telescope is done. But don't worry ( I say sarcasticly) I know how much you LOVE to wait for my story, and there's much much much more to come.
I have to say, when I first started the story, I thought it would be easy. But it's harder than I thought (not that I'm complaining or that it's rocket science). I never knew how much time it actually takes for someone (is it only me?) to think of an idea and then edit it to perfection.
So thank you everyone for being there for me. Thank you for the support. My life is so crazy lately, in between piano practice, school, studying, homework, swim practice, play rehersals, concert rehersals, and my other activities, I'm suprised I get time to play sims anymore. Hopefully by October my life will slow down and give me time to breathe. And of course, finish my story.
So expect the next chapter out by Thursday and more to come after that.

Happy (not) Birthday!
Okay, so yesterday was my birthday. And what do I get now? A horrible case of the flu/fever, a crashed sims game, and a huge party mess I still need to clean. So exciting.
Anyways, I'm really sorry you guys. I actually have the next couple chapters typed and ready for my story, I just need the pictures. But my sims game has crashed so I am going to buy a new hopefully by later tonight. Well, if I start to feel better.
I'm really sorry for making you guys wait so long. It seems like I always have another reason I have to wait to post my story, and believe me, it gets annoying to me too. I know some of you are anxious to finish the story and find out what all is happening, and I won't leave the story with any doubts. I'm even thinking about making a sequal about her soon-to-be sister/brother (I'm pretty sure you've guessed the gender and the baby's name from the telescope visions). I will get to posting and finishing up my story as soon as possible. Which will hopefully not be long. Again, really sorry everyone! Thanks for the support!! -Allyson
I'm back!!!
Oh god I'm so sorry you guys! I totally forgot I had a story to write!! Dx *facepalm* Dangit!
I am so extremely sorry I stopped posting. Again-I just completely forgot about it. But I just finished typing up Part 5 and I'm starting to type Part 6. So hopefuly it will be posted up soon.
Well I don't have anything else to say. So I'm incrediblly sorry for making you wait...what? A month? I don't know a long time okay?
SOOO SORRY!!!
Allyson
OHMIGOSH!!! Where'd the time go??
Oh wow. Look at that...I haven't posted Part 5 yet! Okay, here's my explination.
I have the story typed and edited so I don't have any mistakes (hopefully)...but my sims game is glitching like crazy! So I just did something that should help (long story) and Part 5 should be posted by tomorrow, if not, Tuesday definitly. And you guys are going to hate to hear this, but the story might have to start being put out only once or twice, MAYBE three times a week. D: I am really sorry! I just have a lot going on now. I just recently got 4 new pets (fish, but they are hard to take care of...ESPECIALLY without the filter!), school is starting, I'm taking piano lessons back up, my chorus concerts are about to start pilling up, bla bla bla bla bla........You get the point! I'm extra busy right now, and once things settle down and I can breathe again, the story should go back to normal. That might take a while, but still. So thank you everyone for being so patient. And PLEASE if I get on the homepage, someone tell me! Because I could be on it for 3 months and not ever know. I forget to check it as much as I should. Anyways, thanks and I'm really sorry for the delay! And I probablys should of posted this a while ago, but again-i am extremely extra super ridicilously busy, and sims is something I just dont have time for (which sucks cus' I love this game!!)
Sooo sorry!!

The Telescope (Part 4) MAJOR MISTAKE!! D:
Hey guys! I JUST realized that I'm missing 2 SLIDES on Part 4 of The Telescope, so I edited it and sent it back for aproval. I'm also finishing up Part 5 right now, and sorry it took an extra day. I've been having sleep issues (Don't worry I always have sleep issues. Especially before back-to-school...). So I hope this doesn't cause a bunch of confusion, but I was missing 2 important slides! Okay, well 1 was important 1 wasn't, but still. It bugs me. :) Thank you everyone for your support and comments!!!
