I've been thinking about this and would it be bad to submit a second story in a series as a challenge entry? It fits the guidelines fine I'm just a little hesitent because of it being a sequel to something.

ETA: Decision made, not doing it.

Is it a Popslash challenge? If so, then I think it's fine 'cause it's within the fandom, no?

If not, can the story be read by itself without having to read the first one?

*shrug*

It is a popslash challenge, the problem I have is you really need to know the first story to understand the second. Which suggests I need to do something new.

Thanks for your opinion :)

I think that would be just fine.

I'm glad you think so :)

I think in this case though I'm going with the new story option. At least it gives me the chance to write some threesome sex ;)

If there's threesome sex to come, I'm totally changing my opinion :).

AHAHAHAH

I love a woman who can be swayed by hot sex ;)

If you link to the first part, it would be alright, wouldn't it?

I was thinking that, but at the same time I'd hate anyone to think that I was making them read the first story, which they'd have to do really if they were to understand what was going on in the second.

I think in this case I'm just going to have to suck it up and write something completely new. Which I do have an idea for, it's just the words won't write themselves, damn words.

Maybe you understimate people's desire to read your work, sis, cause I don't see how reading the first part before the second one would be such a hardship *g*

I'd like to think so, but you know people, they're always difficult.

No, I'll stick to the new story. That way I can write some threesome sex. All I'm thankful for is TS one is so short.

Thanks for the compliment though :D

Hm. I guess it's okay if the second part stands on its own. I'm not sure. Tricky.

That's exactly what I'm wavering on. See, I could still write a story for the Honey challenge easily. But at the same time I want to work on the Boxes sequel which is already 24 pages and I'd love to get it done and this would give me a push.

But, the thing is I don't think it does stand on it's own, in fact it doesn't because it references stuff from the first story. I keep coming back to the fact that challenge stories should be self contained, which probably answers my own question...sigh.

If it has references to the first part then no, I wouldn't submit it. Suck it up, woman. It's what you get for taking on more than you can handle! ahahaha

You know it's times like this that I feel the love so strong *g*

But you're right.

*Goes back to the Nick/Chris/JC story*

ahahaha!

Want me to sugar-coat it for you, honey? ;-)

Man no!

I rely on my friends to tell me the truth, I'll let everyone else sugar-coat things for me ;)

Boxes! Oh, I was so hoping that's what you were talking about!

It was, I'm always tinkering with it somehow :)

I've seen it done.

Yeah, so have I but it doesn't feel right in this case.

oh. um. well.

It's a shame because it would have saved time.

But what the heck, new story. YAY!

I'm all for new stories. it seems to be kind of dead-ish in that area, right now...

Well. I've done it, and wasn't villified to my face. Is it absolutely necessary to read the previous story? If not, you can probably get away with it.

It probably is necessary to read the first as it's an AU.

Oh well, that's one more avenue to be lazy gone ;)

I would honestly prefer if the story is in some way at least self contained. If it's a part of a series, is it a WIP or a simple sequel to a first story?

No. It's not self contained, which is why I was hesitating about using it. I knew it was a bad idea, I just needed to be shown that by other people but me ;)

I'll be something new and self contained, don't worry :)

Alright. ::is relieved::
