you could do a sequel to Broken but told fomr the POV of someone other than Clare or Nick? lol like in the small space of time between when Broken ends and BMS starts

Yeah, I thought of that.  I'll have to see if I can think of anything interesting that might have happened in that space of time LOL.

LOL!  For mine?  Hm... that's a good thought, maybe trying one from AJ's POV.  I'll think on that one - thanks for the idea! ;D

Okay this one isn't a picture challenge. Since the story of the month is a sequel, your challenge is to write a short story as a prequel or sequel to any of your stories you have out there now.


Perhaps a continuation or a whatever happend to...type story.

Whatever you like.

It can only be one chapter though but there is no word limit.

And it can also be for a short story you have written. It doesn't have to be from a longer novel.

I hope some of you do this, it'll be fun.

Also use this as a place to request certain authors to write on certain stories that they might not have thought about.

Like for me, Mersey if you write one I want to know what happened after Stay With Me ended.

Have fun guys!

lmao i think you just gave me a homework! :)

Okay since I keep going back and forth between two different stories, I have decided i'm goign to write two this month! lol

So i'm going to do a prequel chapter for one and a sequel chapter for the other. Maybe it'll get me into the writing mode so I can finish my Why chapter sometime this century!

Ooh, I think I've got a good one that I just might finish by month's end - though I'm not sure, considering I didn't finish in time for the June and July challenges.  It was one I'd had an idea for, but uncertain if I should actually write it.  Maybe I will now.
