Thank you guys so much! You make writing more than worth my while!
Now, I will take a little break from writing to recuperate the mind and focus on other projects, like my music. I'll still pop in every day to read and comment other awesome stories, monitor the notification counter, and answer the rare PM. But as far as a new story project, I'll give it a few weeks before I start. What will come next? I'll give you a hint...it'll star one of the mane six.
Oh come on, you didn't think I'd reveal more than that, did you? :)
And as far as a sequel to OTTB...I don't know. I think it can definitely be done (the prospect of undertaking such project makes me excited!) as lots of questions were left unanswered in the series. However, I know that for some readers, being left to imagine the next step is part of the enjoyment of reading. What do you think? Feel free to leave me a comment or drop a PM if you feel the need. If I do make a sequel, though, it'll probably come after my next big project.
Well, happy reading! And thanks again! Kisses and hugs!
PS: Shameless plug for downloading my one song here.
My personal vote as of now (it may change as I take some time to settle on the ending) is to leave OTTB as a standalone. It just had one of those really great bittersweet endings that hit me in all the right ways. And part of me feels like having a sequel would somewhat impose on that. I mean, it's your story, and as long as it's just as well written as this one was, I'll still read, enjoy, and support the sequel; but if I had to give an answer right now, it'd be a 'no'.
Just my two cents. :)
Did you listen to the song I left in the comments section of the final episode? I found it rather fitting to the story, and I thought you'd enjoy it. Also, it is your choice, I think Octy has had enough drama in her life, and should be left to live out her days with her new friends

No you're amazing!
I'd like a followup with lyra that's for sure, or pretty much anything you can give me! :D
Oh most wonderful of nights! I am glad to hear that you are thinking about a sequel to "Octavia Takes the Bus". I think you should do it if you think you can pull off a whole new story that will answer the unanswered questions. The ending of the story was kind of like those endings you see in a movie where it blatantly screams sequel. Love your work and as a side note I am listening to your song as I write this comment. Thank you for the great reads, well done!
Aint no thing.
I will look forward to both the squeal and your next stories!
I'd be fine with a sequel, but I think the ending as it is now is fine. I'd say to just do whatever you feel like, or listen to whatever fan feedback you think significant.
