The Future of JJ's Foolproof Guide

 

So despite the entire universe trying to prevent it, our hapless JJ finally managed to get his y neighbor into bed. Congratulations, babe!  Somehow, miraculously, your guide was literally foolproof.

This story was supposed to be a oneshot, but you all know how that goes for me. :P Once it started to grow I planned it for 5 chapters. Then everyone was enjoying it so much, I reworked it to ~10 chapters. And that's where we are now. As plotted, there's one chapter left. I mean, JJ's seduction was a success. All that's left to do is wrap things up with a morning-after, right? 

But.

Being me, I somehow couldn't keep from laying the groundwork for a much longer story. I could easily see this next part stretching for another ~10 chapters. And it seems like there's enough interest.

But IDK. I want to work on Fireflies more. It's progressing so slowly that I'm starting to lose momentum. I want to get back into the chapter-a-week routine I had with it earlier this year. At least until I get it to the halfway point. (Which isn't too far off, but feels like it is right now.) 

All this to say, I'm not sure what the future of JJ's Foolproof Guide will be. I'm 95% sure I'll continue it. But I think I might call this section complete at Chapter 11 and start a fresh new fic in a month or so. JJ's Hot Tips for Keeping Your Man or something like that.

This blog post is super-rambly, but I just wanted to let you all know where my thoughts are, since some readers get VERYemotional about this fic. ♥

If you have any strong feelings about any of this, I'd love to hear them in the comments. ^^

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts on this. IDK why I struggled so hard with this decision, but I did. :P

I slept on it and woke up today knowing what I wanted to do: I'll wrap up JFGtS and take a break from it while I get Fireflies caught up, then start a new fic to continue JJ's story in a couple of months. JJ's Hot Tips for Keeping Your Man or something similar. ^^

Although I love this fic and wished for it to last longer, all good things must come to an end. I'm happy since jae's got his hot and steamy moment. Haha whatever your decision is, I will stand by you. ♡

I guess this post was even ramblier than I thought. It's not so much a question of "will the story continue." It will. ^^ It's more that I'm trying to decide if I should make an entirely new fic with a new premise or just let this fic languish for a month or two while I work on other stuff.

But I'm so happy that you all like it enough to want a sequel. ^^
