heartless ; 𝐭. 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐤 , 𝟏

...sequel?

hi everyone! this chapter will most likely be deleted once i get a consensus from you guys and i get an idea of where i'm going w my idea.

okay, hear me out:

i have been thinking about how i ended heartless, and i remember originally wanting this story to be more of a connector to haven and salvation, not a book that you must read to understand those, and vice versa. now with all the planning i've done, i'm realizing that not doing a sequel wouldn't do jack's story justice at all. i left it on a cliffhanger with no intention with cleaning it up, which is just cruel, let's be real.

here's what i'm thinking.

since i don't want you guys to feel obligated to read haven and salvation, my bucky barnes books, if you don't want to, then i am open to writing a sequel, just about the same length as heartless, to make a cleaner ending to tony and jack's story. i will still mention jack in salvation because her story will intertwine with bucky's for a little bit, but if i do a sequel, that stuff will be talked about enough to make it make sense, and then i will come up with a good plot to wrap up jack's story and come to a satisfying conclusion. this way, you won't be forced to read salvation to see jack's story end.

what do you guys think? i had originally wanted to leave heartless as a stand-alone, but with the way it was written, that's not really possible. a sequel would bring the cliff-hanger around full circle, and would probably be started in a few months, with the planning process and also to finish some other books that i started this week.

how does that sound? yes? no? please let me know, i'm desperate here!!
