Secret Project Reveal/ Questions About a Sequel?

Warning: This may sound confusing because I jump around so much. Sorry ;) 

So I've been asked this question several times by different people on the last chapter (technically the epilogue) of "We Won't Surrender. Hopefully." if there is going to be a sequel. No, you're not the only person to ask joshhutersonlover2, others have asked too. You just ask me the most. It's not annoying though. MelissaOdair has asked to rather in a funny and creative way if I am going to make a sequel to this story. 

For those of you who don't know my story on this. It's a Hunger Games Fanfic about Katniss and Peeta's life after the Games and Rebellion. I wrote the entire series in Peeta's POV and then continued the story with "We Won't Surrender. Hopefully." It's one of my most popular stories on here. Actually my entire version of the Hunger Games are the stories that got me most votes, comments, and reads on here. 

Back to the question of a sequel. 

After I finished writing "We Won't Surrender. Hopefully." I decided I was done with the story. I don't have anymore to write on it, so I ended the story in what I thought was a pretty good way. After I posted the epilogue people started asking me on the story, on my message board, through PM, if I was going to write a sequel. The answer I always gave was if I think of something I could continue the story with. I never could think of another plot to go with it. 

I know I replied to everrlark this morning that I was working on a plot. And that's true I've been working on a plot since so many people have asked for sequel. I've been trying so hard to come up with an idea on how to continue the story. 

It's been I think almost a year, maybe more since I posted the epilogue and I still get comments about a sequel. I started thinking about I don't know back in December or early January when joshhutersonlover2 and I were playing Real or Not Real while I was at a basketball game. She asked if I was going to continue the story or not. I told her, at least this is what I think I told her or maybe it was just what I thought in my head and didn't actually text this to her, that I wasn't sure if I was or not. I had to think about yet and find a plot. 

Well, a few weeks later we were texting each other about a Hunger Games Fanfic I think the one I've been kind of helping her with and she told me she had to go to bed and I was laying there thinking about the Hunger Games and I had an idea. 

If you've been following my updates on my message board you know I'm working on a secret project. I've been calling it a secret project because I know it will build suspense. I posted a week or 2 ago, something like that, that I was moving the date of the release of my secret project up from August to the end of May. This still stands. I need to get at least 10 chapters done before I post anything. I like to have 10 chapters ahead so that if I don't have time to write one week or two weeks I still have something to post for my readers. I have 2 chapters done now so I need 8 more and I'll start posting this new story I've been working on. 

Anyway, at the same time I moved the date of the project up I announced the story initials are FIRO. joshhutersonlover2 knew this before any of you guys though because I told her back when I got the idea for the project. 

I think now is a good time to just announce what exactly my secret project is. FIRO stands for "Fire is Raging On". If you have any clue to what this entire thing has focused on before this you'll get why I keep jumping around and talking about the Hunger Games. 

That's right FIRO is another Hunger Games Fanfic. 

But not just any fanfic. It's actually a sequel to "We Won't Surrender. Hopefully." I came up with an idea. I won't tell you guys it because it will give the entire thing away. But I will post the description for FIRO. 

Description for FIRO

Not everything goes to plan. Sometimes things happen. Then, it all comes crashing down . . . and down further . . . and further still. Our past begins to haunt us and ruin our future. There is a war raging in our midst and we are at the front lines. The fire is coming back and it will be raging on.

A/N: This is the long awaited, since early 2015, continuation of "We Won't Surrender. Hopefully."

As I said before I need to write 8 more chapters before I post any of this story. I write about a chapter a week so figure 8 more weeks or so until I post anything. Maybe 7 weeks because I have a longer Easter break than normal this year. I can't guarantee this though because I am in the process of trying to get a part-time job right now. I had an interview 2 weeks ago and I actually am doing job shadowing for this job tonight from 7-9 pm so I'll need to start getting ready for that in a little under 2 hours. After that if I still want the job and they're still interested in hiring me I have to do 2 weeks of CNA (certified nurse's aid) classes from 5:30-10:30 pm. The classes are held a little over an hour from my house. I think the job is worth it though because I need to save some money to buy things like school supplies for college. I start college in the fall of 2017 so it's coming up. This job would pay me around $12 an hour. That's about $4 more than minimum wage here. This job would be less than 20 hours a week but it will cut some of my writing time. Especially during the weeks I would have class. Another reason I need to get chapters done ahead. I already only sleep about 4 hours a night so I should still have time to write. 

Back to FIRO. 

This will be the only actually story I'll be working on. The only other writing stuff I'll be working on is stuff for my English class and outlines for a Mortal Instruments Fanfic series. 

I hope this helped answer your questions and wasn't too confusing. I hope this helped the suspense around my secret project, not so secret anymore. Good suspense because I told you guys what it is now and bad, kind of good, suspense because you still have to wait around 8 weeks to start reading it. 

Any more questions regarding advice, childhood stories, this new story, or anything else you're wonder don't hesitate to comment. 

May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favor!
