I've been considering doing a short story series as a riff on the epic novels you find on some of the overseas reading apps. The arranged marriages, wives who can't seem to find their voices and continuously allow themselves to be played by the husband's first love and/or mistress. Thinking along the lines of "If I wrote the female character as a strong woman who wouldn't allow others to trample all over her, the story wouldn't take 5,000 chapters to get through." These would be written between the Kincaid series books. Any interest?
Also curious if I'm the only one who starts those stories, gets hooked, and about 20-30 chapters in I'm skipping to the end just to make sure the husband and mistress got their comeuppance?! I don't have the patience for novels that go over 300 chapters...and even that's pushing it!
