Hey guys! I’ve decided that I’ll be posting a “fun facts” chapter to Pyro in honor of it hitting 20k+ reads and close to 2k votes, which is insane. I’ve said this before, but I never thought Pyro would get even 100 reads, let alone this many. You guys are the best <3
I’ll be posting the fun facts when I hit 100 followers. That gives me time to write everything out :) The fun facts will include abandoned plot lines, the writing process, and some information about the characters I never put in the book, as well as some other cool stuff (like my ideas for a sequel). So look forward to it! I know I personally love it when authors share cool things about their story, so I hope you guys enjoy.
I’ll make an announcement when I post it! See you all then, and in the meantime, stay safe and healthy!

Is it just me or did Wattpad remove the Newsfeed tab? Don’t see it anymore & don’t know if it’s a glitch lol.
Anyway, would you guys be interested in some fun facts about Pyro? Wanted to post some cool tid bits about the story and plot lines to celebrate 20k reads, but idk if that’s interesting lol. It would include abandoned storylines and original directions I planned to take it, as well as what I would’ve (or might do) with a sequel.
Also, LEBRON KILLED IT TONIGHT!

@CosmoWriter Alright, thanks for letting me know. I knew this kind of thing happened, you're right that it'sa bit unnerving to see my story posted elsewhere >.> Might report it to wattpad, found a ton of other wattpad stories that were taken too. Whole thing is kinda annoying but not surprising.

Wow. Pyro was so much fun to read. I felt all of the emotions of the characters and was very invested in everything you had to say through it. I thoroughly enjoyed it so thank you very much for a wonderful story!

Warning: sorry, but this is a long announcement, so be prepared to read...
With Pyro hitting 10k views in January, 1k votes in February, and my second year of being on Wattpad having come and gone, I thought this announcement was long overdue: a potential sequel for Pyro.
I just don't think it's in the cards for now. I'm very busy and haven't had much time to write anything, but I'm also satisfied with the way Pyro ended. It wrapped up the story, Henry's character arc, and all in all, while it's *definitely* rough around the edges and could use some work, I don't think a sequel would contribute to what I wanted to say. There's so many superhero universes and stories out there, and so while I always felt that Pyro wasn't a superhero story—rather, a story *with* superheroes—there's a million stories out there in this genre.
What I believe perhaps made Pyro a bit different, for both you guys as readers and myself as a writer, was I focused on the characters rather than the universe it was set in. I wanted to tell Henry's story, because in a way, it was my own. A sequel would focus on the opposite, which isn't a story I want to tell at this moment.
Sorry this is so long, lol. I just feel like I should properly explain this.
To put it short, at this point in time, there won't be a sequel. I apologize if this is disappointing to you guys, I hate to let people down.
However, I have thought about editing Pyro. I've tabled the story long enough that I can go through and edit it with a fresh pair of eyes. Pyro is 120k words long (dang) and 100% could use some work. If I went through and edited it, some chapters might be edited or cut, interactions cut and replaced, more succinct and dynamic scenes. We'll see, though. I will definitely let you all know if/when Pyro undergoes editing.
Anyway, thank you all so much. The best part about having 10k reads is knowing people enjoyed Pyro. You guys are the best :) <3
Have a wonderful day everyone!

So did you ever deside if you're going to write a sequel or not

@shatteringworld @infernoblaze6 I've just put out an announcement that addresses this :)

Hey DawnFaye. Thanks again for the help with the flashback scene from Phantom. I've posted the chapter with edits made based on your feedback.

Hey all! Something really cool happened the other day-- Pyro got added to Wattpad's Adventure profile under the Super Crusaders reading list!
That's so cool! A big thanks to all of you for supporting Pyro and thank you to @adventure for thinking my story was good enough <3
