Hello! If you’re reading this, you’ve managed to stumble upon the central hub for my Sim lit story, Helena Zhao Is Dead. I began this story in April 2023, shortly after I joined Simblr, and as of now it’s still going strong with no end in sight. Well, there is an end, but it only exists in my head for now, and it’s not really an ending but more of a launching pad into something new. If I ever get to that point, this will then become the central hub for the Zhaoverse in general, but it’s yet to be determined if that day will ever come.

Anyway, I post the story over on my Simblr, thebramblewood, and I’m lucky to have cultivated a very engaged and kind and intelligent community there! But I wanted another place to gather everything in a neat, organized and easy to navigate way. If you’re already following the story on Tumblr, it might be easier to reread a particular section or find bonus content here, and if you’re not on Tumblr, this might be a more convenient place to keep up with new chapters (though I may be slower to post them). Just as a note, they’re organized a bit differently here, with some scenes that are split across several posts on Tumblr merged into one, and I don’t always give them snazzy titles on Tumblr, so a lot of those are new too!

Whatever you’re here for, I hope you find it. I’m so glad to know there are enough people out there who appreciate the story for a thing like this to be useful to them. But it’s also useful to me and honestly just makes the story feel a lot more “official” in my mind to have everything compiled in one place. Since you’re not here for my rambling, I’ll let you poke around now. But if you have any suggestions for sections or content you’d like to see in the future, my Tumblr asks and private messages are always open! 🥰
