4483/4484/4485 – Now We Are Five/Found/Morning – TheWickedHaveMoreFun wrote a nice sentimental trilogy, starting with the Ficlet, Legacy (4306), about a girl who rediscovers her love for a forgotten toy. I started prequeling it to give some backstory. I put a Velveteen Rabbit fantasy element into this story, but the real trick to this series is figuring out the story backwards.

4751 – Wikipedia Jones Gets an Upgrade – This was going to be a spoof of the Encyclopedia Brown series by Donald Sobol. I got as far as introducing the main character, but have not gone about creating mysteries for him to solve.

4762 – A Brief Guide to Coasters – Pens&Feathers wrote a story titled Rollercoaster Addictions (4742), about an enthusiast who got an opportunity to be the first (clandestine) rider on a new coaster. My sequel branches from hers, and details the various elements of coaster design and the infinite combinations of those elements. More story is definitely a possibility to follow.

    I love what you’re doing here. I’m in a dry spell, myself, so I can’t help, but I want to use this to show off my own “orphans” soon… I have far too many.

    I should also mention that if you do decide to sequel one (or more) of these, please send me a note. I’d love to know where my babies went off to college.

    Now I do feel kind of silly that I went on a recent stint of volitionally killing off a series or two (Sweet Departure 27082 & Final Decision 26845).
