The only one who can decide whether a sequel would be a good idea is you. Do you have something in particular you want to do in another story? If you're just writing something because other people told you to, it's not likely to be your best work.

Same thing with the length -- it'll be as long as the story requires. And probably longer than you expect <g> or does that only happen to me?

Bottom line... if the calls for a sequel get some ideas ticking over in your mind, and you think "you know, I really would like to see how this one thing comes out...", and you can come up with a semi-coherent plot (or as much as you'd normally do in a story, anyway help -- don't write it

Ditto Labby and Pam!!! hyper

I wrote the follow up of Misty Revelation because people asked and I wanted to do it... But, for example since I was writing the last "The Parent Trap" I had some points to a sequel... but for the moment the idea would remain as an idea... frown Too many ties loose in the plot :rolleyes:

But the parent Trap was a Lois and Clark adaptation of the movie, (SPOILER--->) and when they get together again and have another baby, even that's going beyond. It's an excellent story and I'd love to read a sequal, but that's different. (Don't be discouraged though, I'd love to read a sequal, like I said.)

I'm glad you liked it blush . It was my first long story (and the only one at the moment :p )... and I can't deny I was a bit lost in how to proceed with it. I learned a lot writing it... laugh

About the sequel... At the moment I'm busy :rolleyes: and there are another things I want to explore wink ... however probably I'll be updating the data for the premise and the plot... if I develop something that could use. Meanwhile, some ideas for that sequel had found allocation in the other project.

Jose (waiting that sequel wink )
