Online Child (A Dil Howlter Phan Fiction) [Watty's 2015]

I want to chat (Will be updated as the story progreses)

I want to chat for a while before I continue:

Ok, so far, this is the forth book of my phan series. I didnt expect this to happen as i thought it was a trilogy (Silhouette, Identity and Secret) but i love Dil so much so this happened. As you now notice, Im adding characters that seem out of place. Like for example: the fact that Elisa Pancakes is the niece of Dan's friend Sophie.

And you guys might be thinking 'Who the fuck is Sophie'. Like seriously, one of you guys thought that Sophie is Preston's ex. Just to clarify... In the previous books, Sophie is just a university student studying medicine to become a doctor!!!

So before i talk with you for a bit, i just want to say, to understand some parts of the book, you need to read the previous books. The most popular is the first book 'Online Silhouette'.

This is not self promotion, rather than me telling you guys to at least know who these characters are.

Ok, now is the time where i chat with you a bit.

One thing i want to talk about is Brian the Irish Cameraman. Some of my friends and you guys asked me why did i name this minor character Brian the Irish cameraman if Brian isn't really an Irish name.

I dont know why exactly but i just did it for fun. But i didnt know that he will be like my most Favorite minor character.

Next is the people that used to be in Dan and Phil's life in the 4 books...

Liana Sheppard (aka: Me in this book)
In previous books, Dan and Phil are straight and soon realize their feelings towards each other. I really want you guys to read the previous books to understand more about these characters but it would be unfair to those who doesn't want to read 3 books consisting of 24 - 26 chapters (w/o the notes, authors notes and extra fluff).

So Liana is Dan's ex-girlfriend who lives in Dan and Phil's building before they moved out. And as you saw in previous chapters, She's now Dating Adrian Howell (Dan's real life younger brother).

I know i mentioned that Liana is basically me in the story, just to clarify: I don't have a crush on Adrian or Dan. I like Phil ok! I wasnt involved in the Adrian incident where there were these Dangirls harassing Adrian since i joined the phandom last year in May!!!

So the question is: Why is Liana dating Adrian?

Between where Phil moved out and Dan being depressed in the third book, Adrian started to arrive and as time progressed, a bond was formed. And i know Adrian is younger than Liana by 4 years i guess... Hold on:

Math:
Dan: 23 years old (irl)
Adrian: 16 years (irl... Thanks tumblr)
= 7 years

Dan: 23 years
Liana: 19 years (debut age)
= 4 years

Adrian: 16
Liana: 19

Ok... Sorry if i left my maths notes... But Adrian is 3 years younger than Liana. Hence: they're still dating.

Eliana 'Ellie' Summers
Yes, Ellie is Phil's ex wife in the book. Read the books on how they broke up. All i can say, she is Phil's ex girlfriend from the Breakup video (well in my book --- thats her name)

Sophie (Pancakes?)
Sophie was first introduced in Online Silhouette (book 1) as a minor character then became a Reoccurring Character in the second and third books. She was introduced as this party girl/medical student who Dan thought may have a shot at till she wanted to date someone who is in the same situation as her (aka, a student).

Yes, the two kept on meeting and eventually have a night one stand. SHE IS NOT DATING PRESTON OR HAVE ANY INVOLVEMENT WITH HIM!!! What? You guys thought of that... So what, Dil's birth mother is a 20+ year old woman who had sex with Dan after giving birth to Dil....

Whoa... I'm now confused... Thanks a lot Nicole____idk for making this weird messed up family tree.

Officer Ian James Helia
Ian James Helia... Ok... In Phil's Break up video, James is the guy who Phil's ex dated and cheated with (last name is fake). In the book, James is Chris's (Crabstickz) second cousin. Odd enough, they have no idea that they were even cousins.

Man I love making complicated family relationships!!!

Adrian Howell
In real life, Adrian Howell (according to Tumblr) is Dan's real life younger brother. He used to be online till a shitstorm came, telling Adrian that he's no better than Dan and all that crap that he's now hidden all over the Internet.

In the previous books however, Adrian goes online but with a different username and thumbnail image and nobody know it's him except for Dan and Liana. Adrian took Dan's place for 4 years when he went offline due to university.

Now time to talk about Dan and Phil in the book...

Dan the lawyer:
I read some of your comments and discovered that you guys are astonish to figure out that Dan works in a law firm. Yes... Dan is a lawyer. I don't want to spoil my previous books so to understand this concept, read Online Secret (book 3). Just to simplify this... Dan went back to university because he was alone.

And I found it funny that you guys think that Dan may screw up.

Who is the woman in the relationship?
You guys think that I made Phil the woman in the relationship.... And it's sort off true. Phil is the one staying at home while Dan works in London which is like 5 hours away from Willow Creek. But to be honest... I didn't intend to make Phil the woman in the relationship till you guys want me to do it. So Phil is the emotional one... Yay me!

The Sims 4 community and the changes in the book!
Another thing you noticed was the changes between the gameplay and the book. Yes, I had to edit the changes between ages, jobs, relationships and others just to match the story. So Elisa and Bob are dating and according to the Phandom, they are not happy together. So to relate to that, I have to make Bob possessive towards Elisa.

The Geography of Willow Creek:
The closest thing I can think of for this is that it's near Lancaster (Where Phil was raised). i dont know why but i wanted a woodland area and Phil stated in his Draw my Life video that he lived near a woodland are so that...

Dil's Genetic Line
The biggest plot twist and controversy in this book... the revelation on who Dil's family is. His father being Preston Chappa (in the Phandom: Dil's sugar daddy) and his sister (sort off) is Erica Pendleton (In the Phandom: The bitch). I intended to make Preston his father but Erica was a huge decider. My reasons for doing this is a secret as it will give away everything I've worked for in this book.

The Backstory between Erica and Summer
In one of the chapters in this book, I stated that Erica and Summer used to be best friends. I needed to add some dramatic rivalry in the story... hence that.

Erica's Ability to manipulate guys
Yes, Erica can do this in the book. Why? Cuz she's evil... literally. And it shows how powerful she is towards Dil's friends and the fear that they have.

Timeline of this story:
This is one of the reasons why you have to read the previous books... But to make it simple, the year is... Hold on

Maths:
Wedding: 2022
Adoption: 2024 (2 years later --- Dil: 5 years)
Debut year: + 11 years
= 2035

Yes... This is after the Predicted Phan wedding. Want to know that story... You know where to go! But yes, this is way way in the future. That's why Dil say things like 'old ipads' or 'from some movie I never heard off'. This is a challenge for me as I want to make accurate suggestions on what the future could be and ever since one episode in the Simpsons where they said that 2010 is where aliens and flying cars come... Not going to make that mistake!

Other missing and changed plot points
Before we conclude the Willow Creek analysis, I just want to point out, I can't add every single detail in the gameplay and I have a copy of Sims 4 so there are some things I could and can't add. I have to change Dil's work into school because Dil is still a child and other things like the capsule figurines will have a new backstory (maybe) in future.

So that's it for now... I will add more stuff in future and hope you guys enjoy!
