OK, I hate to break it to everyone, but this story is most likely not going to have a sequel—or at least a good sequel. Think about it: the principle bad-ass is sorta dead, and the principle hero is quite literally untouchable. I'm not very good with coming up with alternative stories, I hate to say, so I can't easily pull a Dragon Ball Z and have new villains, all more terrible than their predecessor, suddenly appear our of the blue. What I may be able to do—assuming inspiration comes up and bites me again like it did that fateful April night last year when I couldn't sleep and kept thinking about chapter one of this story (you know, that's all the longer it was supposed to be, just "The Sign of Primus"). One day I might take suggestions and write about Sirius' pardon, or maybe the hunt for Wormtail, but in order to do these things I need some kind of plan and at least two scenes to build on (for this story it was the wand shattering in chapter one followed by Abjicereum and Harry turning into the Griffin in chapter 6). So, unfortunately, as I already said, "The Fall of the Dark Lord" probably won't have a good sequel if one is ever written. However, if one ever is produced, I'll stick a note on the end of this story so you all know what to look for. Is that OK? I hope so.
Now, if all of you are just dying to read my stuff, I do have another story called "Sins of the Father." "The Fall of the Dark Lord" was almost—no it was a warm up for this story. I originally wasn't going to write "Sins of the Father" because I knew most people would write it off as a Mary Sue, and so a lot of the ideas went into "The Fall of the Dark Lord." If you want to read this story I'd really appreciate it because it's my true master piece. It is also a view of how Harry survived that fateful night, but the only way to get at this view requires a new character, and Harry has to be interested in the character enough to go digging up stuff that leads him back to his own past. (And yes, the Sign of Primus returns, but it means a slightly different thing in this story.) If you don't believe it is a good story, just go check out my reviews—they should be good enough proof.
Alas, I would like to talk more, but I'm going to be late for class if I don't go NOW!
