With the recent announcement of SocialDummy shutting down on the 30th, I felt it was needed to say how grateful I am for SocialDummy. I personally used it to show my OC’s (original characters) stories, and show how they would act in my favorite show’s plots and so on.
Before downloading SocialDummy, I had no way to confidently tell those stories, but with SocialDummy, I can proudly say that SocialDummy is what truly motivated me to tell those stories.
It especially opened up an intriguing way of writing stories. I used the Twitter option to do small tid-bits, to provide information, to pass the time by in my story, or to just transition into the main written portion of my stories. I used the messaging option to write out important conversations between my characters and I used the Lock Screen option to add some sort of tension to certain situations.
For all the bugs I had to deal with, it was ultimately a very gratifying adventure of finally being able to write out my OC’s stories in a way that was comfortable to me, and for that I thank you, Ashley Richards!!
If anybody has their own stories and are currently worried about losing all their progress, I suggest finding a way to store those posts/texts/lock screens/ etc. via screenshots, iCloud storage, google photos, or hard drive.
For anyone that’s ever wanted to use SocialDummy, I suggest using it while you can! It’ll be off the stores by December 30th so use that remaining time wisely!
