This poll is in response to the BMS sequel idea that popped up in the BMS couples thread. Since it's gotten so much discussion, I figured it was time to make a poll and see what you guys really think. Would you like to see another story based around the plotline Anna (HeathenMaiden) suggested? Or do you think another story would be overkill, too much of a good thing? Be honest. As for me, I have no idea yet what I want to do. Part of me is tempted by the idea, and part of me thinks the series was meant to end with BMS, and that's what I should do. So I'm really just interested in seeing what you guys think. I'm not going to promise anything; I'm just curious. So vote and leave your comments here.

Yeah! Totally! Like I said in the other thread: you could do two different endings or whatever, and yeah it might be a little much, but I see this third story as a "just for fun" type of story. I'd also like to see what happens with Nick & Claire if they get back together. So, I vote yes.

^I agree. But there was one FF that I read that the sequel was very, very short, can't remember the name of it but it gave just tidbits of their lives together after the characters finally got together in the end. If Nick and Claire do end up together, which I'm praying they do, I would like to see how they do together, raising the kids, maybe having one of their own by some miricle, all the nomal things married ppl do, growing old together. I just have so much emotion tied up in this story (almost scary at times) that I'd be interested in seeing it all play out.

You already know how I feel about a sequel Julie ;D Whatever you decide to do though will be awesome nonetheless. I agree with frickfrackgirl, I would LOVE to see Nick and Claire grow old together!

I'm thinking of "Cover Me With Dreams"... if you've read that story, there's a short story that the novel is based on... and then there are a couple of short companion stories that go with it and show the little tidbits of the characters' lives that you miss in the novel. Is that the one you're thinking of, Jen? I could see doing something like that...

I'm 150% for the idea of another sequel. I can't get enough of Broken and BMS as it is and there are so many things I'd like to see happe between Nick and Claire...another sequel is the only thing I can see satisfying my interest. lol

Honestly I can't see another 100+ chapter story sequel. But what I can see is a series of companion stories that wraps things up and tells readers what happens after BMS, including that little kidnapped kids idea.

Yeah LOL, I have no idea what I'd write about for another 100+ chapters. Especially without finding new ways to torture everyone... and really, what else is left? Besides kidnapping LOL.

LOL Yeah, seriously. But I do support the idea of a companion series. It would work and give a nice break for your muse if it has a block on another story.

That actually sounds pretty cool, too. I'd still love another sequel but I understand that maybe it'd be better for companion stories instead. It'd be easier to write that way. Sounds cool!

Yeah. Maybe that'd work better. It COULD work with a whole story, but it'd all depend on what you feel would be best, Julie.

It really just depends. Honestly, I was worried about not having enough of a plot for BMS, and looking back, I guess that wasn't a problem LOL. But I'm just afraid of trying to beef it up and making it all melodramatic and soap opera-ish. After awhile you start to ask yourself how much two people can possibly go through in their lives LOL. It's just fiction, so it's okay to make it more dramatic than real life is for most people, but still... I'm trying to avoid making it read like a soap opera. But the kidnapping plot could make a good novella... and then if there were other bits and pieces I wanted to write, I could do short stories, like Heidi did with Cover Me With Dreams. I'm not saying I'm going to do any of this; I'm just thinking this out on here LOL.
