Hello again!
Another HUGE THANKS to everyone who have read this book, commented and voted. I can't believe I actually finish the entire trilogy. When I started the story, all I wanted to do was to write my version of the post apocalyptic world, something that involves the entire world with new concept of how life forms would be like if a nuclear war did break out.
The Originals has always been part of the plan, but along the way we also encountered the mystic powers, the time traveller from the future and my 1000 story at scikick of what the future is like another 300 years later. I have fallen in love with the POE world myself and have no intention to stop exploring every possibility of it, and I hope you guys feel the same way.
So what is in the future? Some of you might ask. A few things:
1) Novellas/one shot - I will be writing a series of short stories, more like chapters really of numerous other characters in the POE chronicles. And I will be updating them at key dates from the POE universe. They will be updated in either one of the three books depending on when in the timeline they happen - so make sure you keep the books in your library to get the update!
2) The Dark Ages - it's time to move onto the Originals' story, even though you all know how it ends, but there are a lot you still don't know ;) especially since you are only familiar with half of the members. As I have said before repeatedly, their story will be much darker - and I might even rate it as mature. I am not sure when I will start it - I am trying to figure out editing schedule for the POE chronicles, which leads to my next point:
3) Editing the POE chronicles - I will be doing a complete rewrite + edit for the trilogy and hopefully pitch it to an agent. However, I suck at grammar and I hate rewrite, so this will probably take forever. If you are a grammar wiz - please PM me, I will need as much help as I can get!
4) Romance story... - It's been a while since I have written a romance, and the first story I have ever published and finished on wattpad is a romance. This one that I am hoping to write about is the sequel to my short story Forgetting Us, if you guys are interested - let me know!
5) Q&A - a few of you have expressed interest in this - so I will be accepting questions and answering them in a week's time in a new chapter - just drop them below before next Monday.
6) Competition time!!! - so I have said I'll run a competition at the very end of the trilogy, and here it is!
The competition: Pick a character who is not mentioned in the epilogue and write a 1000 word story on them - it can be what happened during the trilogy, before or wayyy after. BUT IT HAS TO BE SOMEONE WHO IS MENTIONED IN THE TRILOGY (e.g. Iago, his girlfriend, Evanna, Oscar)
Rules:
i) A new book - it has to be a completely new story including the phase POE Universe competition, and listed under fanfic
ii) Dedicated to me - it makes it easier for me to find
iii) Tagged #poeuniverse - ditto
iv) Deadline: 30th June 2016 - Gail's birthday!!!
Prizes:
I am not one to limit the number, so there will be AT LEAST THREE WINNERS BUT NO CAP
i) A character named after them in the Dark Ages - as always, my stories are full of characters and the Dark Age will be no exception!
ii) Be included in a reading list on my profile - because good stories are meant to be share!
Grand prize: I will be picking one and make it an official 'what happened to X' story and put it in one of my story (unless you don't want to), dedicated to the writer and made explicitly clear that you wrote it!
If you have any questions, comment below or PM me, I am excited to see your work (hopefully there wouldn't be zero entries!)
