Pengi's Popsicle Stand - now open for business!

Pengi:
So I decided to pop in here and open up my own thread for updates (I won't spam the crap out of this thread, promise!!). I'll be noting updates on my twitter also: http://www.twitter.com/writerbrat

Anyway, as of right now the fictions I'm currently working on are: Fix, Time Watcher.
Fix was updated today, and includes some pretty funny scenes in the Prius with Zoe and Nick! Time Watcher should be receiving an update within a week or two as I've almost got it ready to roll again!

But also I just wanted everyone to know that I have just completed the introduction to a sequel to Something Beautiful, which is entitled There's Us (I haven't posted that yet, but if you peek at the Something Beautiful page you'll notice it's listed as a series now). Let me know if there's any thoughts on where you guys would like to see that story go, I know Something Beautiful gathered a lot of attention, and while I have my own ideas for the plot line, I'm interested to know what you guys think, too!

Ok, I have to ask... what would be the motivation behind a sequel? It was kind of a perfect story, with a perfect ending. Is there not concern that a sequel would tarnish the image of the original?

I second this question. I feel like a sequel would destroy the beauty of the original.

Pengi:
I was thinking that at first, too, but when I started writing out a plot line, I realized there's a lot that could still be said. There was a lot that I put into an unpublished epilogue that I think benefits the story. If I was just starting Something Beautiful, I would have found a way to work it into an introduction-like piece. I'm not so much looking to continue the story as much as to compliment it, if that make's sense?

A companion piece does make more sense than a sequel for sure. I guess I would have to know what the plot was about.
