Never start something you can’t finish. It’s advice I try to live by, but can’t always do. Over the past year, I’ve started a few series that for some reason or other I’ve strayed away from and never completed. They’ve always been open for others to sequel (and maybe complete), but I thought I’d bring them to attention here, to make them easier to find, so maybe someone can adopt them, nurture them, and help them grow and blossom into the stories I know they can be. Won’t you please give these Ficlets a good home? And if you’ve got your own series you’d like to give others a shot at sequeling why not list them in a sequel to this Ficlet? *4453/4458* – _2:00 AM Purgatory Diner_ – This was supposed to be a mood piece, a sort of neogothic _Canterbury Tales_ type anthology, where odd characters congregate and spin their tales of woe to their waiter. I’ve set up the setting, now I just need stories. 2008-04-16T16:50:29Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/27660 <p>Funny, the whole orphanage analogy for the lost ficlets and series. Bespeaks our emotional attachment to our work, I think.<br />LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/27660?basename=56856 2008-04-16T16:50:29Z THX 0477 http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477 <p>This isn&#8217;t a challenge per se, so apologies in advance for sticking a &#8220;newchallenge&#8221; tag on it. I just wanted to get some traffic here to create visibility for my orphans, as well as to encourage people to sequel this Ficlet with <em>their</em> orphans&#8230;</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/27660?basename=56833 2008-04-16T13:54:06Z BARomero http://ficlets.com/authors/baromero <p>Oops, forgot to rate.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/27660?basename=56710 2008-04-15T21:59:03Z ChrisWDP http://ficlets.com/authors/chriswdp <p>I like the idea of a central &#8216;orphanage&#8217;. It can help lead to new ideas for others. At this time, I have only one to add, but can be great for future entries.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/27660?basename=56690 2008-04-15T21:29:12Z ChrisWDP http://ficlets.com/authors/chriswdp
