Sequels
Fanfic PeevesI hate them. I truly do.
I dislike it when authors ask their readers if they want a sequel. The question is, do you think your fanfic NEEDS a sequel??
Difference between spin off and sequel is that a spin off only focuses on one detail from the original story and creates something out of that, like one of the side characters.
Sequel just follows onwards from the ending.
Back to the question, does your fanfiction need a sequel? If everything has been answered in the ending then what more is there to it?
Sometimes I get the feeling that I'm obliged to do more because my readers ask of it. I may not know my readers on a personal level, but I can't help but feel like I should do this for them.
But then, if you and I feel strained whenever writing for the sequel, is it worth it?
