As long as the original fics stay up in their revered spot on the old database so I can peruse them for the umpteenth time over fall and spring breaks in the future, I sustain this.
Actually, I'd kind of like to see how you would update and change them. They're quality stories (excuse me, Mr. Styles, that is not to say that your presence makes a story low-quality) with heart and humor, a good plot, and enough of that interconnectedness and emotional story telling that they far outclass all of the cheap, mindless movies and shows that are getting massively pumped out today. Putting it out there as an independent story would be fascinating - I'd love to see how that journey goes.
But that being said - I've always wondered if you ever considered adding more to the story? Your style is very Checkov's armory. You set up a lot and you deliver on all of it. Until the last few installments - where you set up the most tantalizing plot lines and points and gracefully drew it all to a close with a Christmas special - still leaving about fifteen doors in my mind open for me to wonder about. Did you have any plans? Would you consider adding to them today?
I fell into the same hole that I think a lot of fanfic writers eventually hit -- you are using a company's copyrighted characters, so while a lot of fanfic is harmless, you don't want it to blow up for fear of getting some sort of legal action, but you still want it to blow up because hey, why not? Accolades are nice!
At this point, I am trying to work on my own original works, so while I would be fine with going back to RR fanfic, I tend to want to focus on my own stuff because then there is at least the possibility I could make a living from writing, and there are some stories that just don't fit in the RR universe.
That said, I'm not ruling anything out. Maybe one day I can go back to the stories and wrap them up. It would fun, I admit.
