Hey, can I make a suggestion/throw out a thought for a future challenge? I've written a couple fics where among the usual "You rock" and "This was teh hawtness" were cries of "But you left poor [insert name here] all alone and angsty! You're going to write a sequel where you fix that, right?" I've also read fics where this was my reaction, even if I didn't say so in the comment I left. I'm sure it's a common reaction. But, alas, not everyone writes sequels. Which is where the challenge idea comes in:
No One Left Behind
Take a favourite story where someone was left lonely at the end and write a sequel where said lonely person finds love or at least comfort elsewhere. You should 1) Not undo the events of the story you're following up (i.e., If Rodney ends up with Weir leaving an unrequited Radek, you can't just break Rodney and Weir up so Zelenka's not lonely), 2) Try to keep to the same rating or less than the original fic so that those who could safely enjoy the original can also read yours (i.e. if the original fic was PG, you should avoid R or NC-17, but PG or G are okay), and 3) Ask permission of the original author.
