Today we have an interview for you with winner1017, author of The Hangout’s Featured Story of the Week #68, Champagne Supernova. Champagne Supernova is one of a kind on the Sims 2 Exchange; winner1017 does a brilliant job of telling the tale of an already complicated teenage life through the eyes of an autistic boy, Brad, and a girl, Alba who copes with obsessive compulsive disorder.
Overview from the author:
“At the beginning, Brad was a total outcast, labeled only by being autistic. After making a deal with Alba about overcoming her OCD, he meets another friend in Ava Monroe whose lies end up becoming much more than anyone could have imagined. Facing a doctor whose certification certaintly doesn’t amount to a soul, a distant mom and an even more distant dad, Brad’s life gets a lot more complicated.”
Exclusive with Outstanding Member, Slice!

During our last super-secret staff meeting, one of the things we discussed was bringing some of the interesting articles and interviews featured in our newsletters to our new website blog. This way we can get information out to you quicker and on a more regular basis and aren’t stuck in the “waiting” period and dealing with difficult deadlines.
One of my favorite things to read in the last newsletter, was the interview with our last member of the month, Avalonia. Ava was our Member of the Month (MOTM) for March, I think. So as you can see, it’s been a little while.
Our most recent MOTM for August is Slice! Slice is one of those people who is always willing to lend a hand. A while back, I made a thread expressing my concern that we were just all out of ideas for the Hangout. Slice was one of the first people in there suggesting great new ideas and offering her help. In fact, she is the driving force behind one of our newer contests, The Hangout’s Fashion Trade!
