On my big bang

[alwayseven]

Later I have plans to tell you all about how I drove to Wilmington (NC, not Delaware) yesterday and spent the afternoon walking along the riverwalk and I went to the beach and then spent the night in the most adorable bed and breakfast

When I'm putting stories on my iPod, I name them and then add "1 of 3", "3 of 4", etc, because I just dump html files into Stanza rather than making anything look pretty.

On occasion, I've had to make a "5 of 4" when I'd missed an epilogue or sequel. So to finish your story AND not mess with what got posted to bigbang, you could just add a "part 4 of 3" when you've worked on all the other stuff that you had in unfinished form. I don't think anybody would yell at you for giving us a continuation... more to read is always good. =)

Hey

So you don't know me but I've just REALLY enjoyed that story even as it stands (though I'd love to read what happens next).

But if you are unhappy, seems to me there are two options. Either a sequel -- and although it ends abruptly, it does have an arc to it so a closely linked but technically separate sequel should work; story 1 about Jon's own self identity, story two actually being in a relationship, admitting the word gay (or bi), effect on other people or whatever else you had planned.

Alternatively I'd say leave the current story posted but rewrite it as you want and post the new story as the "Improved and Extended verion" or something.

I don't normally offer gratuitous advice on other people's writing, but I really feel that this story's good enough to be worth making into whatever you wanted it to be. It's very real and immediate and I suspect one of the reasons it overran is that you haven't taken short cuts to make any of it easier for Jon

I agree with all these comments, at first I thought the story was a little slow starting and now that I see you had/have more it does seem unfinished. I can fully understand if you're not willing to go any further but I also have no doubt that there's plenty of others besides me that will be happy to see more of this. Also, the scene with Jon and Spencer on Jon's bed was just about the hottest kissing scene that I have ever read, I'd love more of that I'm not gonna lie and your characterisations are awesome. Ultimately it's up to you and no one has a right to pressure you either way.

Hey bb, I just finished you BB, and I have to say it was lovely and sweet, but I see how unfinished it is, and I feel you on that. It was a great read regardless, but still, if it isn't the story you wanted it to be, you should totally make it so. I would absolutely read an Extended Edition for more Tom/Jon, and Brendon/Ryan goodness. Also, I'm pretty pleased I figured out Bden's secret love for Jon, and that really would be a fantastic sequel or whatever.

So yeah, I loved it and would read more of it anytime ever.

I really liked the story, and I agree with the people who say that you could write in your extras or write a sequel to it. I'd definitely like to read more of it, and see a little more of the Ryden, and also why Brendon is so pissed at Jon sometimes, but it works well as it is now. I definitely enjoyed reading it.
