To Continue Or Not To Continue...
May. 5th, 2013 09:52 pmSomething that sometimes gets to me is when I write a One-Shot fic or a shortfic (like Midwinter Mirage), I inevitably end up with people leaving "this is great so far, can't wait to read more!" comments. I know it's just a little thing, but I make a point of marking my finished fics as finished fics so... idk. Read the description and/or author's notes? =/ (At the same time, it's kind of nice to hear that someone likes my writing enough to be waiting for more of it.)
Anyway, Fire And Ashes is the latest one to get those kind of comments, which doesn't really surprise me, all things considered. I have actually been considering continuing FAA anyway, and the comments to that effect have me really thinking on it. The thing is that Kylla and Piper's story continues to a certain extent in the currently-untitled fic I'm planning with them as well as Singe, Magic, Shiloa, Ripa, Metty and Gwydion. But before I start that one I have introductory one-shots I'm writing for each Chosen-Companion pair. (Actually, Singe and Magic were supposed to have theirs done first, but somehow Kylla and Piper's got finished before them...?)
So continuing FAA takes away from what I want to write later, and the whole thing becomes redundant and repetitive. :P
The other one that people seem to want a continuation of is Zaci VS The Pelagir. While I wouldn't mind writing more with Zaci and Fern, I really don't have anything to... yanno... write, with the exception of Zaci having a guest role in Fearless, which is about her sister, Zephonie. Besides their short little Choosing fic, I don't have any ideas for Zaci and Fern, at least not at this point in time. But then again, maybe I can slot them into another chaptered fic at some point, the same as I did with Rift, Sorret and Divya in Outlander...
