Prompt

[psuedo_catalyst]

So I know the floor was opened to prompts about a year ago, and it looks like no one has mentioned it since, but I'm currently utterly mad about this fandom, dying for more fics, and floundering as I try to write one of my own. Also, ever since the idea fell into my head, I've been dying to know how you ("you" here being everyone who's bothering to

I've never really thought about a post-film fic... But now I think I will.

I'm so glad -I've been toying with a few ideas myself, but I'd love to see another perspective, especially since I think the movie (and the book) left off in a really interesting place.

I just noticed this post, so please excuse my late reply.

Personally, I've never done anything like that out of respect for the book's sequel, which I enjoyed too much to disregard when writing Trainspotting fic.

I've toyed with the idea of writing something post-sequel, but I haven't done it yet because I really love the ending and can't quite convince myself that it needs to not be over, you know?

I actually haven't read the sequel (it's been so hard to track down that I've resorted to ordering it on amazon, with any luck I should get it in a few weeks), and at the time I posted this I had only just read the first book--I didn't even know there was a sequel.

So I'm not sure whether I'll end up agreeing with you about the ending, I guess I'll see when I actuallyread it. I felt like the ending to Trainspotting wasn't neccisarily all that could be written, and apparently Welsh didn't either, but at this point I suppose that post's a bit out of date.

Your comments on the sequel make me hopeful, though (I'm generally slightly distrustful of sequels), so I can't wait to read it!
