Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

If I did a serious overhaul, I'd post it as a director's cut or something, rather than just updating what's up there. I mean, spelling errors I'll fix. But whole section re-writes? Nope.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

I'm sort-of that way too. Once it's posted, it's "published" in my mind. Changing that changes the story that I put out there.

I'd feel like I'd have to put up some sort of notice if I did a full overhaul of a story that's posted. I'm ok with fixing a typo I spot on rereading, but I'm lucky enough to have copies in various places, and those copies wouldn't get fixed, so I pretty much leave stuff alonel.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

At this point, I'm thinking that Plei's "director's cut" label might suit my purposes quite well.

In this case I was fortunate to have two very, very able betas look over it and catch some potentially serious errors before I sent it out, but with this fic I really wish I had timed things so I could have had another week to flesh out some ideas/characters.

Isn't it amazing? No other Ellen stories need be written.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

It's really true.
