Whatever happened to....
« on: September 15, 2013, 09:45:57 AM »

This challenge will be our fall one!

The Whatever Happened to... challenge.

How many times have people asked or even begged you to write a sequel to a story because they loved your characters so much they didn't want to let them go? How many times have YOU decided to write a sequel because you loved your characters so much you couldn't let them go? Okay now how many times have you regretted it? LOL

This challenge will give you and your reader's a great opportunity to catch up and say goodbye to some of your most loved characters without having to commit to writing a full blown sequel.

Your goal!

Pick one of your stories and write a one shot telling us what became of the characters. It should be set at least five years after the original story ended and serve as a wrap up. Think of the epilogue to "Harry Potter" or the VH1 show "Where Are They Now?"

Remember we don't want an entire sequel just an update.

It can be anywhere from 1 to 3 chapters long. NO LONGER!! We don't want a real sequel!
No word count limit
No banners!!
Make sure you let us know which story this is the wrap up to.
You can write more than one as long as it's not for the same story.
When you are done, post the link in this thread!

You have until Thanksgiving (USA) for this challenge! :)

Have fun!!

And when's Thanksgiving?  ;) I know,  I can look it up,  but I am lazy like that. ;)
Love this challenge,  though it is a tough cookie, since I have only written one long story and that was a collaboration.
I have to think about this..

Good idea, even though I've never been tempted to write a sequel to any of my stories, I may have a look.

I don't know any characters that people would want to see more from 5 years later. LOL ... but I love the idea for this challenge and will be thinking of what to do with this one.

I'm trying to get better about participating in these challenges.

I would suggest you guys maybe opening polls in your update threads so people can vote and you can keep a more accurate count that way. Not saying you have to or not to use twitter lol just in addition too...just to clarify.

I love the idea of this challenge!  I'm not sure if I have any stories it would fit, but it's a great idea!

I love it too! It's so interesting, but I don't think I have any stories that'd work with it.
