Well, now that The Seventh is finally finished, I am sure at least some of you are wondering if there will be a sequel. Certainly return visits are very much a possibility as the ending stands. Well, good news! I have already begun plans for a follow-up story, to be published later this year, and I think you are all going to like it!

Real life kept getting in the way, but I can now give you the news that the final two chapters of the seventh have been written! I am going to go to sleep now, then tomorrow morning I shall proof-read and upload them.

By the end of tomorrow, the story will have its conclusion. Cue party cannons.

A quick word about the question that is inevitably being raised at this moment.

I have no plans for writing a sequel to RotSG. It's a very open-ended story that does a lot of world-building, so the potential for one is there, so if a plot comes to me one day and I have the time, I might do so. But fire the moment this is where the story has always been intended to end.

YES! I've done it!

That was quite a ride, all the way from initial planning in summer 2013 through writing it last november and through the last three months, and I'm glad to finally have that story out in the open.

So, now it's all there, feel free to spread it far and wide so that it can become the most popular fanfic ever and earn me dozens of lucrative publishing deals!

Or something.

Advance warning: the next update may take a while. The next few chapters really need to be posted together, so I will finish them all and then publish them.

One of my favourite things about posting stories is watching people try to guess where it's going. It's interesting to see how other people react to the events, as of course I write them with a full knowledge of what is going to happen, so I don't really have the luxury of speculating.

And in the interest of fairness, I'm going to say that you are all completely wrong. *cackles*

I bring good news! For the first time in - actually, I'm not sure I want to look at the datestamp - I have opened up the Google Docs folder containing The Seventh. The final chapters are now that little bit closer. It's actually embarassing how close they are. I could have the thing done within a week if I put my mind to it.

So, yeah. Watch this space.

Not true. I just wanted to say that for some reason.

On a more true note, the next chapter of RotSG is on its way very soon. Be warned, s**t is about to get real.

Story updates have slowed because I'm at my parents' house for Christmas. And also because getting characterisation right can be hard. The next update is coming, and I'm aiming for today or tomorrow, but there are still creases to iron out.

With my sudden return to the site, there is a particular issue which I think I need to address: The Seventh.
