What story or story line would you most like to see finished or extended?

TestSubject001 ๐Ÿšซ

Doesn't have to be incomplete. It could be a story that the author left room for a sequel.

For me it would have to be colt45's Sea King saga.

I would be interested in additional stories set in that reality as well as a "post apocalyptic prequel" to that story.

Edit: 24 October 2025.
I suspect I was confusing the aforementioned "Collar my Heart" with another story - "The Collar Around the Heart" by "Old Softy"

"Private" from Random Writing ...

I just read this one and absolutely agree I'd like to see it continued.

The problem is, I make bookmarks of various stories that are recommended as I'm reading various threads on various forums, and for some reason I had it in my head when I started reading this one that it had been completed. When I got to the end and realized I'd come across it because of this thread I was steamed.

Grey Wolf ๐Ÿšซ

@hambarca12

As someone writing a multi-volume epic, that's been my intent all along. If I can't finish the story the way I want to finish it, publishing some sort of epilogue, road map, or what-have-you is the next best thing.

My characters have a way of blowing up my plans, so such a document would be ever-changing, which means I don't have one ready to go in case of being hit by the proverbial bus. Perhaps I need to keep one up on a rolling basis.

But it's the peril of writing an epic. I doubt many authors would write a multi-volume story (currently minimum 8 books, ~500,000 words/book) without seeing how earlier books were received. And, once you're off on an epic, it matters less whether any particular book winds up unfinished, since the end of a book is also the start of the next one.

Two stories I have read with decent/good epilogues. Robin by John Smith tells what happens after the two main characters ride off into the sunset. It finishes the story you wanted to read more of. Starfleet Carl also has an decent epilogue to his 'A True History' series.

Replies:   Grey Wolf
Grey Wolf ๐Ÿšซ

@zitqhile

Starfleet Carl knew he needed one (sadly). I'm not sure about John Smith. There's a good epilogue to the Wynter series ('Wynter King Obituary'), also written because the author knew he needed to. If I knew I had X time to live, something along that line would be the goal, with as much information as reasonably possible.

I feel strongly that it would be 'wrong,' in the sense that, had I actually gotten to write the story, things would have turned out differently. But, if I was never going to write the story, providing the 'correct' ending matters less than providing a 'satisfying' ending.

True lonely dad, but they are really extraneous to the story. I am talking about reading the story of Cassie Charms or Ashley Malibu for example, before they started in porn. Jay gives us some info about the early lives in the story, but just about any of the characters could have a prequel that tells us how they got there that I would find interesting to read.

But I know Jay has pretty well mapped out his writing for the next several years, and has expressed clearly no desire to continue the storylines. Though I think it would be fun to see the crew from Unforgettable Weeks meet up with the Daze in the Valley crew when they head out to Stanford for college. Although with them heading to Stanford, it would be hard to make the connection to LA.

#2: https://storiesonline.net/s/69439/future-distorted*
#3: https://storiesonline.net/s/72759/anomaly-of-the-fates*

*These stories include codes that would typically stop me from reading them (snuff and cannibalism). But first the snuff code is not fully accurate, it the "distorted" post-apocalyptic world, lots of people die, including during rape, but the death is not for a sexual kink. Celtic Bard's writing is so griping and the worlds he creates are so engaging that the codes warn of content but they are side scenes that add to the tapestry but do not dominate the story.

I miss CB. I know he had some health issues, but I would love to see him return to finish these!

I'd actually like to see a finish to "Alan" by Julian Coreto. It was the first story that got me into SOL and I find myself rereading it every few months or so. I'll go ahead and admit that even if Julian Coreto could not finish this story for whatever reason, I'd be willing to pick up the baton and try to finish it myself.

I can't think of a better compliment to and unfinished story than "as a fellow writer, I'd love to try and help you finish the story."

The best compliment for a completed story is and always will be, "I wish I had written that."

my story I would like to see continued is
They That Have Power - by hermit

great story and it was ended on a completed book, but it is obvious the story was ment to continue. but after 8 years I think it is not going to go on.

The author even commented on a post that he was working on the 4th book, but it never came.

I always wonder what happened in a case like that. I don't mean to be negative, but did the person just lose their way(writers block), did they get busy with life, and the worst is - did they die? I hate to think of the last being true, but such as life. I often like to imagine with it being easier to get your ebooks put on Amazon that some authors went on to write books for a mass market.

In some stories, the Universe or setting is so interesting that the reader likes to know what happens after. And it is not unheard of that writers switch protagonists in between novels.

That's what I'd gathered (after readers kept asking for a sequel to "Singularity", where the lead characters dies and becomes an 'energy being' living among aliens. However, in my case, unless I can build a complete story (at least 18 chapters) I typically won't start another story (especially with a new cast). In one case, where I did return with an new cast (plus some characters from the original), the story never got much traction.

After complaining about readers demanding a sequel for a story where the lead character is either dead or in a far, far distant place, I've recently decided to continue just such a story, Singularity, where the character is both (dead and moved on).

It was a classic, and it was going hot-and-heavy for a long time, but it's also an example of a story in need of an endingโ€”as the author lost his way in his never-ending parade of adventures. If you aren't building towards an eventual ending, you've got few satisfactory ways of tying up loose ends. I can count numerous examples of great running serials (70+ chapter stories) which petered out with a weak 'they got married and lived happily ever after with dozens of partners each' endings.

Sheridan man to serve five to 10 years for sexual exploitation

Huntly Rinck, 53, of Sheridan was sentenced to no less than five or more than 10 years in prison by Judge John Fenn in 4th Judicial District Court on Tuesday for sexual exploitation of children.

Rinck was arrested last year after police said they found sexually explicit photographs of minors and sexually explicit stories describing sex with minors on Rinck's USB drive, which had been left at the Quality Inn, where he was a night auditor. Investigators searched Rinck's home and found additional sexual images and stories involving minors.

According to testimony Tuesday from Bruce Dexter, the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation agent who performed the forensic search of Rinck's computers and external drives, more than 1,360 images that would be classified as pornographic were found. In addition, 25 videos of children performing sexual acts with each other and adults were found.

Rinck, who has been defending himself throughout the case, said he did not believe all of the images found were pornographic. He also
stated in court Tuesday that he knew having porn featuring children was illegal but insisted that just because he collected the photos and videos did not mean he is a child molester.

Rinck admitted that while he was collecting the photos and videos he felt no remorse for his crime, though said he feels remorse now.

"I did not feel bad when I was doing it, I feel bad that I got caught," Rinck said in court Tuesday. "At the time I did not have empathy for the kids in the pictures. I did not think of them as real. They were pictures."

Rinck added that later he started to feel bad for the children in the photos. He said he did not feel he was ever a danger to the community or that he would be in the future.

Fenn said he felt probation would be inappropriate for Rinck, because it would "unduly depreciate the seriousness of the crime."

Rinck pleaded no contest to the charge in April with the condition that he be allowed to appeal the use of search warrants to gain access to his computer and USB drive. He has 30 days to file his appeal.

Sounds as if they convicted him mostly on the basis of a policeman's opinion that the photos on his computer met the legal definition of being pornographic. I would have thought that an impartial judge (not just a policeman, who is an advocate for the prosecution) would have to make that judgment.

Generally speaking, in the US (where he was charged), purely textual stories are protected, and they do not count as 'child pornography' (you can see what does constitute it on the DOJs site). I'd wager the real issue is the images and videos. No need to open the can of worms that is the First Amendment (for the stories), when you have the man dead to rights on something the US Supreme Court has said may be declared contraband.

That said, you better be damned sure the story has a) social, artistic, or political merit; b) does not involve ANYTHING explicit relating to pre-pubescent children. Otherwise you might just be the example case for some crusading prosecutor looking for higher office.

As for convicting him, he pled 'no contest', so the government need not prove anything at that point. And I'll point out that he wasn't charged with being a child molester (as he says he is not), but for possession of contraband. And possession of contraband in the US is generally 'strict liability' - you don't have to know it was against the law to be charged (i.e. 'mens rea' does not apply).

You are correct, that in the US, a story or even drawn images don't count as child pornography. However, a few people have been prosecuted on criminal obscenity charges in the US for pedo stories.

Now the stories that resulted in obscenity charges weren't just basic adult/child sex. The few cases I am aware of all involved stories about the violent forcible rape and torture of prepubescent children, in some cases as young as 5.

On the other hand, I would be very surprised if some authors hadn't done exactly that. We've seen authors delete stories and even leave SOL completely in response to adverse criticism, so the idea of the lesser response of just abandoning a story shouldn't be that incredible.

However, how low do you need to be to denigrate an author of an unfinished story? The whining of anyone with a bullshit feeling of entitlement demonstrates that it is possible to sink to new depths.

It isn't akin to Oliver holding up his bowl asking, "Please Sir, can I have some more?" Those who post stories on SoL do so for free, those who read them do so for free, readers are entitled to get what they pay for, which does not include bitching about an unfinished story, especially when the reasons are largely unknown and when they are known, those bitching don't take the time to find out why.

Vulgus was the king of making me fall in love with his characters and then ending the story a little too soon for my taste. I was always like "Okay, but what happens on the next day after that? Did the brother ever bring up his blackmail again?"

I even wrote to him and received his blessing to do one sequel. I still have it in the works too!

The other one is "HOA" by Mister Archie. Four chapters and then a dead story. I wrote a story heavily inspired by it that has been perhaps my most popular story to date. It was about a BDSM couple that moves to a kink friendly community - but with their family and how that affects the vanilla members of the house.

While some of what you say is true Joy but let me give you the viewpoint of a reader who gets so much joy from reading the stories you authors write for us, who wait with bated breath for Saturdays installment from Gyounger or Dualwriter.

While the author has invested their time and emotions in writing the story the reader has done the same thing by being transported to the world the author painted for us. Many of my world views are thanks to the writers on this site. I have pushed my friends to read stories that make so much sense it will blow their minds.

It's not a feeling of entitlement we have but a feeling of being letdown by our hero who can do something we can only dream of, who bring joy and fulfillment to our lives. Yes it sounds batshit crazy but that is how it is.

Using your Oliver analogy when Oliver asks for more he is asking to help feed his body. When a reader asks an author for more he is asking to feed his soul. And how Oliver feels when he is denied more food that is also how the readers feels.

You are right the authors don't owe the readers shit since we don't pay any money. But just know this when a author drops a story they are letting down so many people. People who had gained so much joy in their lives thanks to the author who shared their imagination with them.

From one batshit crazy reader.

Hold that thought. First the Oliver thing. The workhouse has an obligation to care for him, so NOT the same as the writer of free stories v reader.

Ok, so I agree that readers become emotionally invested in stories/characters they follow. That is a given.

Those I condemn are those who deride an author because they fail to complete a story. A quick look at earlier posts in this thread will show that many of those derided are well known, some are clit award nominated etc. Yet a few readers still deride them for their unfinished stories.

It strikes me that those same people would praise a Medal of Honour winner then deride him for not completing his tour, not caring that he lost both legs.

The reasons why stories go unfinished are diverse, few authors complete a story but intentionally stop posting before the final chapter. There are probably authors who have stopped posting as a result of idiot members of the moronisphere but a far more frequent reason is simple inability, be it due to health, family, work, or even 'finding god'.

I too wish that the unfinished stories I enjoy will someday be completed, but I consider it more constructive to be thankful for what the authors did post, rather than bitching about what they haven't.

I'll agree with most of that, but add a few others.

Some don't complete a work because they simply can't. Not due to health, family, etc, but because they lost their way. This is more often in longer stories where they struggle to tie the ending with the beginning.

Then there are those that could, but simply won't. They are easily picked out of the crowd. They will have several incomplete stories spread out over time. That temporal separation makes clear they can still finish a story, they just don't want to for unspecified reasons or no reason at all.

In the end you get you pay for usually. The people complaining, while simultaneously reading for free should STFU. The people who do pay for a service at least have a basis for a complaint.

A good example would be cmsix. As he stated himself he was a story teller more so than an author. Many unfinished stories simply because he wrote himself into a corner or started on a story with a new idea and 'forgot' about the others. Strangely enough many of his unfinished stories are still entertaining reads, maybe because you can just pick another of his stories and get a comparable concept.

Cloacal, please, for snakes, which rather spoils the idiom since it includes both anal and genital functions (and urinary).

Interestingly, (male) snakes have two hemipenes, which are spiked to help them stay in place, and are normally inside-out in the cloaca. A method of sexing snakes is 'popping', where pressure is applied just behind the cloaca forcing the hemipenes to emerge from the cloaca (yes, I've done this).

Humans also have a cloaca as embryos, but this normally divides into the normal bits early on. Some turtle species even 'breath' underwater through their cloaca!

I suspect a lot of authors would have difficulty writing sex stories (porn) if we all only had a cloaca.

Didn't Crumbly Writer have sex scenes between human and bird-like characters?

you guys and gals are being silly.

WE all are freeloaders, the readers and the authors alike.
WE freeload off of Laz's idea of a place for him to make,,,
Er... I mean he gave us a place for us to share our stories.

Not every story has an ending. Even the best authors write stories that do not have a finish once in a while. Or and ending that they can put in writing. It may exist in their noggins, but typing it out and sharing it may be beyond their ability.

WE are greedy. WE, all want more.

The noted unfinished stories, leave a gap in our greed reigon of the brain, demanding for more. not a conclusion, but MORE.

Instead of complaining about it. thank them for what they have shared and head to the next of thousands of stories on the site.

Reviewed: 2016-01-25 - (Review Updated: 2016-01-27)

I hope I have the skill to do justice reviewing a Gina Marie story. But I want to recommend it to the broadest audience possible. I found the story, which I don't believe I had read before, by cruising the 2005 Golden Clitorides awards. This was a winner.

Perhaps that recommendation is an unintentional pun on "broadest." In the sense of "Broad" having dual meanings, sometimes wide and sometimes female. There is a song, "Honey Bun" in the musical, South Pacific with the lyric "And she's broad where a broad should be broad."

There is considerable hot ff sexual activity. And towards the end there are three teenagers, all female 9th and 10th graders.

To keep my union card as a Critic I need something to criticize. Okay, the story is too short. It ends on a positive note, fairly soon, a week or so, after the title characters meet. Almost nothing but their affection for each other is settled. The reader gets to decide what happens next.

The numbers: Plot is a seven, a B. Good but for the seven chapters not an awful lot of twists, turns and surprises. Technical Quality is fine, an A plus. I might have missed something, so I didn't give a ten. I am trying to hold my tens to at most one a month. Appeal to reviewer was hard to decide. I liked it a lot, but I am more heterosexually oriented and the mf activity in this story makes the boys oxygen thieves. I decided on an eight, which is an A.

It's against the author's policy to do sequels, but if she ever changes her mind, I wouldn't be sorry to see her break that policy by continuing this story. I strongly recommend anyone who isn't totally squicked by lesbians making love to read this story.

Plot: 7 | Technical Quality: 9 | Appeal to Reviewer: 8

And there is one other I have been waiting for the conclusion of for over a decade.

Lucky Tickets, by JiMC. 15 years ago he wrote a rare story for here at the time, with great sex, but also great character development. With characters we got to really love.

However, after writing 2 of the 3 books in the series
about 15 years ago, he just stopped. As recently as 2 years ago he wrote a blog post stating he would write the third book, but that has been it.

A great story, and he has even had them do cameos in other stories. But this is another I am afraid will never be finished.

Another one:
"Tycoon" by Raven Soule.
Great story, but such a disappointment to find the writers health left him unable to complete this excellent tale.

This gets my vote too. *one* chapter before the plotlines were (seemingly) going to intersect. So frustrating.

Past that, I'd love to see Fick Suck write more stories in some of the settings they've created, especially Twilight Lands.
I'd also love to see Teleplay by Franklin Delano Underpelt get finished. What little we got of it is both really funny and really hot.

After having my memory refreshed about lordshipmayhem's New World over in Lost Stories, I reread it, and it felt like it was close to an ending but not quite there, as did companion yarn The Election. Does anyone have notes in which LM said how or indeed whether he was planning to wrap them up, before he sadly departed?

@TestSubject001

Its really unfair to complain since he is so talented, but the end of unending weeks by Jay Cantrell felt so rushed and unfinished. The resolution to the major conflict at the end was, strangely incredibly underwhelming for me personally. Id really like to see where he was going with the 3rd book. Jay definitely has 2 or more stories in my top 10 list on the entire site, so I'm not trying to be mean-spirited.

I don't disagree, but honestly I'd settle for another chapter or two that takes place at the planned graduation pool party. If it was written with the idea that this is THE END I think it could be wrapped up in a satisfying way.

This question caused me to browse through my "Active Serials" list that has over 100 stories that haven't been updated in over a year (the oldest was last updated in 2004, damn). Most of them I don't even remember now. I'd have to start over -- which would be okay.

A more recent one that I was really enjoying was Caleb by Pastmaster.

Quick question . Is there any way we can commission or something the story to be finished if we tried to contact the author and have hear nothing? Just wondering , cause there are a lot of incomplete and inactive stories that I've read and would love to finish.

Replies:   Grey Wolf
Grey Wolf ๐Ÿšซ

@wolfpack1967

There are at least three 'yes' answers to this question:

First, Lazeez has the authority to allow continuations. Author Agreement 16, in part: 'We may give interested authors permission to finish any work you left unfinished.' Note there is an implication that three years with no contact must pass first, but it's not formally stated.

Second, one could continue it on another website, particularly one oriented towards fanfiction. A continuation of an existing story counts as fanfiction. Advertising your continuation might be difficult.

Third, you can do whatever you want if you don't publish the results. Sharing is what creates copyright issues.

All of that aside, I would urge caution. Following an author's style plausibly is likely not easy to do, which might make a continuation seem lackluster.

Your last point is spot on. Someone is trying to do a continuation of the DMAN series. The language, style, and tone do not match the original in anyway. I read 3 chapters, and had to bail.

Thank you for your reply. Some of the stories just stop at an interesting points leaving you wondering what happened later on in the story. For ex: Did the government ever figure out who was behind it, intense battles then nothing at all etc. Ya'know.

There are several stories here that I would love to see completed or a sequel.

To be completed:
"Rise of Azkoval" by Jay Cantrell (my favorite story on this entire site)
"Spellman" by K.H.Elms

To have a sequel:
"Lady in Red" by Harddaysknight (He promised a 4th book a long time ago and yet it is still not posted)
"A Fresh Start" by rifi (My second favorite story here. Rifi how about a "Second Generation" centering on Charlie Buckman with appearances by Carl and Marilyn, etc.?)
"Island Mine" by refusenik (This story begs for a sequel. Since refusenik no longer seems to be writing, how about someone taking this on? Read the last chapter and you will see that it is all primed for the next book.)

"Lady in Red" by Harddaysknight (He promised a 4th book a long time ago and yet it is still not posted)

I think it may have been to scifi for him. It was to be about their son Saint vs. Ailan invasion.

While LIR is one of my favorites, the one issue for me was he would take months between chapters.
