I don't usually do this, but I thought that this story needs a type of Introduction. It's not so much an introduction to the story as an introduction of what to expect from the story since it's a little different than anything I've done before.
It needs to be said that this is the Part 2 to Sweet Junction. If you haven't read Sweet Junction, then you'll probably want to stop reading this now and take a trip to Sweet Junction before you continue.
I will be completing Sweet Junction before long, and then I'll be moving here to continue with the second part. I wanted to give everyone a chance, though, to start thinking about things they might be interested in seeing in this second part of the story. All of this will be explained below.
After you've read Sweet Junction, welcome, and I'm glad you decided to join me as I continue with this saga.
The sequel will be a story, but it will be a rather slow moving story as far as stories typically go. It will be almost like a collection of one shots or, as I prefer to call it (and as Dixonrocks, I think) called it, episodes.
The story takes place in the small Georgia town of Sweet Junction. It explores the lives and experiences of the people that live in the tiny town stuck somewhere off of a quiet highway in the middle of nowhere. The main couple that I focus on is Caryl (Carol and Daryl) and I also strongly focus on Mandrea (Merle/Andrea). With the sequel, I'm opening the door to have episodes dedicated to other people in the town as well.
That's where you, dear readers, come in.
I'd like to do the story as somewhat of a request/prompt story. So many people asked for things that they wanted to see and wanted more focus here and there with Sweet Junction. I'm opening the door to those possibilities.
As you read, if there's something you would like to see, then please PM me a request for it. It can be some kind of thought out episode topic, or it can be just a little something here or there.
Please note, however, that I will not be able to work everyone's requests in. The story is still a story, and that means that I will be working behind the scenes to make all the little pieces actually fit. If something you requests fits with the story or can be worked in, then I'm going to put it in there. If, however, your request doesn't show up for some time (because maybe I'm working it in later), or it shows up a little altered (because it fit better some other way), or even if it just doesn't make it in (because it's not something I felt I could write or that I felt would really work with the story), it doesn't mean that it was a bad idea or that I didn't care for it. It simply means that for one reason or another, it just wasn't right.
I'll read, consider, and record all requests that I get, though, and I will do my best to honor most of them.
I know that people are fond of "song" requests, and I understand that music moves us to certain feelings and makes us see things in a certain way. If you have a certain song that inspires you in regards to someone in Sweet Junction, by all means, suggest it. That being said, however, I'll be writing no "song" chapters (in that I'm going to be doing those chapters that people write with lyrics and such in them). They're not allowed on the site and there's a chance that I might not feel the way that you felt when I hear a song, after all, our experiences and our taste in music change how we hear things.
For the most part, this story is going to be my story, and it's going to follow in the same grain as Sweet Junction. I did, however, want to open the door for anyone who had something they wanted to suggest or something that they'd really like to see. If you've got something that you'd like me to consider for somewhere down the line, drop me a PM and I'll see when and where I can work it in.
I hope that you all will join me here when Sweet Junction is finished and marked complete, so that we can continue our story. I'll be posting the first chapter of this hopefully before too long, I simply wanted to get the introduction/premise out there for you so that you could start thinking of anything you'd like to send me to consider.
I welcome you all back to Sweet Junction! It's nice to have you there! As always, thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy the story to come!
It should also be stated, as a general disclaimer, that I do not own the Walking Dead or its characters. This story is completely and totally AU. I own Sweet Junction and I own what I do with the characters there, but I own nothing from the Walking Dead and I make no money off this story.
The only payment I receive are the reviews and comments of my readers, which I greatly value and enjoy.
The cover artwork is an image from Google. I don't own that either. I really own very little besides a cat, a few things of little to no value, and a deep love for writing and for the Walking Dead.
