Wow! Okay, so I’ve received a lot of votes for the subsequent story to Aiden’s first book. Thank you all so much. Others have asked when the deadline is since they’d like time to read stories before deciding to vote for its sequel. Well, yep, that makes sense. As such, tada, the deadline is Camerone Day—30 April 2022. I’ll compile all the votes and announce the top three selections. Then we can all gnash teeth and throw stuff to decide which one should arrive first.
FYI, the current top picks are, in order:
“My First Gig” - Sequel to “My First Fan”
“Aiden Ascending” - Sequel to “Aiden and the Ring”
“After the Highway” - Sequel to “On the Highway”
“By My Own Rules” - Sequel to “On My Own Terms”
“Collateral” - Husband in debt to Russian mob; forced to loan wife until he pays
I admit to finding the first two interesting, since both are sequels to stories that have yet to be posted in their entirety. I guess ya’ll like them enough already, huh? I’m leery, because “Owning My Image” scored well until the end, when it tanked. So, hmmm, I hope you find these endings more to your liking.
“After the Highway” is coming along quite nicely; I found the hook and the plot to pull that into a much deeper tale, so that’ll be fun to finish if it wins.
“By My Own Rules” will also be fun. What did Ryan do next? I know. And I also know Naomi’s plan to get him back on track.
“Collateral” was fantastic fun to build. Yeh, it may sound a bit cucky, but all the characters have their motivations and the husband does just fine.
Frankly, I can’t wait to see which one you decide I should finish first. They’re all so amusing.
Oh, and a timing note. I unpacked all of “Aiden and the Ring” to lay out the prose into new chapter structures. I woefully underestimated its size. As of today, the story has 39 chapters, which at my current posting rate carries us through about this time next year. What does that mean? Well, there is no way in Hell the muses are gonna keep silent enough, so whatever story we select will most likely appear before the end of “Aiden and the Ring.” It’ll be a surprise post like “My First Fan” and I’ll submit as I’m able.
