Story you wish to see a new chapter/sequel to the most?

[topace]

Hey fellow residents of the AH!

Which story are you looking forward to seeing a new chapter/sequel the most?

Personally, I'm watching for a sequel to "Threads: The Island". It might be 42 pages long and one heck of a long read, but it was excellent and demands a sequel IMHO. Too many possibilities left at the end to not try and tie at least a few of them up!

There are others, but that one has my attention the most - though it looks like the author has disappeared.

Two incest series that the author never finished.

John and Melissa by Naughty Misty

A Mother's Revenge- One Sick Bastard

I wouldn't even start reading a series I didn't know was already finished. I see no need to expend the time and energy rambling around in something the author doesn't even have a clue where it's headed or when/if it's going to get there with woven threads and a coherent resolution.

I keep getting told not to finish my latest series, EVER!! Many have commented and PM'd me asking to keep the chapters coming and never stop, they like my characters so much. I'm still fixed at 25 chapters in total, but I'll see when I get there, if I'll end it or do a few more.

I've been toying quite a while with writing a sequel of sorts to "Who Cares What I Wear?" but I just can't quite figure out the angle.

Although I've read many stories where I enjoyed the characters and/or the plot, I figure the author knows when to end it, so when it ends, that's okay with me.

I've reopened a couple of series here when I've thought about a new twist or two I wanted to give the series.

 

[lovecraft68]

I've written 5 mother/son stories and everyone of them people clamor for a sequel.

Thing is for me, especially with incest, its all about crossing that taboo line for the first time. Once that's done for me what is there?

I've read series where every chapter is literally the same two characters fucking in another setting or "next in chapter three mom tries anal"

Once the ice is broken so to speak, I lose interest writing about the characters.

In the story I mentioned, the guy never knew the girl was his sister until he found out that they were sibling triplets of rich guy who had passed away.

The other sister fucked him in his bed late at night, and he didn't realize it was her.

Plus he had his assistant as a GF/fuck-buddy. He couldn't get them pregnant cause he had gotten injections that made him infertile until they were stopped.

In the end, his sisters were interested in getting with him, but they were splitting up as part of their duties as the heads of the family empire.

That's probably the key in just about any genre. I've had people say they want more of a story but my reaction is usually, "But I finished it!" I write romance, obviously, and my goal is not even to get them to be married or anything. It's to get past the obstacles to realizing and admitting they love each other, which usually means they're realizing something about themselves. Once that's done, I'm content to leave the rest up to the reader's imagination.

In the one story I'd consider continuing, it would be because the characters are moving on to something else.

I dunno. I'd like to see more stuff about couples (or trios or whatever) that stay together and stay in love. Given the preponderance of new romances in fiction of all stripes (even action movies often have a love story), a stable couple that keeps their spark feels really original to me.

 

[lance gt]

I've been finding the more chapters I write about my couple, the more story development comes out of it. I originally just wanted them to meet, have lots of wild lesbian sex and be done with it, but the romance and relationship developments have turned it into something completely different. I could write chapter after chapter about them and find something new and interesting for each one.

I think what makes me keep going, is developing plots and characters more for my own writing practice, than for the readers. I'm seriously thinking of finishing it and re-writing the first several chapters over again and see about pubbing it.

I agree with you and have toyed with ideas along those lines. But you need conflict in a story and I'm not sure what conflict I would use.

One series I like that uses this device is JD Robb's ...In Death series. As the series has gone on, the main character has married, and so a theme through the entire thing is the issues they encounter in their marriage even though they're very much in love.

Stable relationships have plenty of conflict. Much of the comfort in being in a relationship is that you have someone there with you to face whatever challenges arise. There can always be plenty of conflict external to the relationship.

Similarly, relationships often have plenty of internal conflict--anything from serious "ohmygod you're cheating on me" or "we need to face your problem with [blah]" to fun stuff like "how do I spice things up between my partner/spouse and I?"

I totally agree with that Bashful. It's the human drama of everyday life that makes things realistic to a reader and not the utopia some writers create, where nothing ever goes wrong. Shit happens, partners deal with it and life goes on. I believe that is what makes a story plausible and enjoyable to read. We can all write sex, but not everyone can write life.

Bashfully Shameless and Penn Lady-- thanks. I like what you've said about married conflict. I keep wondering about where to go with some of my couples.

Elianna's The Last Descendant series. I guess it was finished, since it's listed as a 6 part series, but so much was left hanging, and I was caught up in it. She hasn't posted here in ages, and I enjoyed both her stories and the few PMs we sent back & forth. Nice lady.

Quite welcome.

And Bash has a good point -- the conflict doesn't have to be internal or intrinsic to the relationship. Even so, I haven't been able to find an angle or plot that I like for that kind of story. I want to, and perhaps if/when things slow down (haha, I crack myself up), I'll be able to get a better handle on it.

External conflict can also lead to internal conflict. But I don't (necessarily) want to write about a couple that's together, then might break up, then gets back together. I think I'd rather write one where the couple deals with obstacles and turns to each other for support in handling the problems.

Condemned

It had some writerly issues, some odd grammar, and there was no real sex even after six chapters, but it was a very intense and exciting stories. The only 'vampire' story on the site that I actually like.

It's been almost six months since the author has posted ANYTHING. And about thirteen since he has contributed to the series. I don't like any of his other stories, and I just wish he'd finish condemned. It was one of the first stories that I ever read, and it gave me a lot of inspiration for one of my stories.

SA Penn Lady, I'd love to see more about Emily from "Who Cares What I Wear?" You know I became a fan of yours the moment I read that story. But it's your call; if you've said all that you can say (or want to say), that's it.

And of course if Grandmaster dweaver999 wants to say anything more about Charles and Valerie and Sally, I'd be the first to cheer. I started a Charles and Nadine follow-up to "A Thug on Ice Skates", but it's nowhere near ready to go out for licensing (if it will ever be).

But I have to mention the ultimate end to a series. J.K. Rowling wrote "Deathly Hallows", and that was finis. Even though she could have written another Potter novel, trashed the brand and still made millions, she stopped when her artistic conscience told her. A classy lady.

Considering my swb series went 51 installments and totaled out at about 920k that was all the character development and plot line I'll ever need (on here anyway) that thing covered two decades of a sibling love affair.

So now for me everything is a one and done and I'm happy with it being that way.

I have several stories that need finishing, or sequels written. And then there are the serial/chaptered stories that could go on and on...

I've just submitted Ch.14 to Shelacta. There could be hundreds of Shelacta stories from the plot bunnies multiplying every time I revisit Shelacta.

I get around to some, eventually.

My priority ought to be: Fiona, the sequel to Miranda the Witch, and what happens before and after The Nunnery.

But the Muses are sometimes fickle and want to start a new series before I have completed the last.

And Jeanne's Laundry Tales could run and run. She might add another for the Halloween Contest.

I have an idea, I'm just not sure it's enough to support a whole story, even a short one. I could start writing, I guess, and see what happens, no harm there. But there's always something else to do...

I still am in disbelief at how much replies this thread of mine has gotten... I've never had a thread take off like this before!
