Hi guys!

I'm really sorry, but this isn't the long overdue epilogue I said I'd write ages ago. (Hangs head in shame) I couldn't seem to write something that I felt finished the story off nicely, no matter how many versions of it I wrote and not wanting to post anything lame I didn't post anything at all. Hmm. Anyway, I think it was the whole 'ending it' thing that was the problem as I still have quite a few ideas for this storyline and was stupidly trying to squish them all into the ending.

So, before I get flamed to within an inch of my life I want to ask if another story (or two or maybe even three) would be okay? The sequel/second story would pick up from a little while after where I left off in 'Explanations.' Hope that sounds good!

I've already started some rough drafting and will be working on the first chapters very soon.

But before I go off and just write this whole thing I'd like to get an idea of if I'm going in the right direction with it.

For example:

How do you feel about the inclusion of Spike at some point in the story? Should he be evil, chipped or souled? Who might he be in love with? Buffy? Dru? Faith? Willow? Other?

What about Wolfram and Hart? What about Lindsey? Should he be good or bad?

How about Faith, Lorne, Jenny, Tara, Darla, Dru, Joyce, Riley, Professor Walsh and others? Should I include them? If so what should they be like?

Which couples should stay together or split up? For example Willow and Oz? Should they stick together or should she get together with Tara? Maybe even Spike?!

Angst? Fluff? Smut? Humor? What do you want to see more of? Or is the balance about right?

Would you all be okay with the rating rising to R in a few places? Etc.

Anyone with particularly strong feelings about any of these things or something else I haven't mentioned should e-mail me, I'd probably go with the majority vote, or if nobody e-mails me I'll just keep doing my own thang.

Also, if there is anyone out there who has an idea for a plot, a scene or even just a line they'd like to see included and thinks I can do it justice - ask me to put it in. If I can make it fit my general story arc I will.

Thanks for reading,

Mad Kat.
