Dear Readers.

Let's get to point : I believe that any story whatsoever must be appreciated by at least one other person than it's author for it to be considered a good story. I am considering writing a sequel to He Can't Be From Berk Right ? ( or HCBFBR? ). But my dilemma lies here :

- I long to write an adventure story. I seem to be taken by an obsession related to ' Hiccup runs away ' stories. I am already trying to write another story, The Curious Tale of a Pair, though I must admit it doesn't seem to be doing to well. Ideally, it would consist in a long series of smaller adventures that will slowly carve out the new Hiccup and Toothless from the point where they run away. It will obviously be very different from HCBFBR?. So far the only comment I have received on this story reads a single word : 'Stupid'. So It definitely doesn't fit my criteria of a good story, and like any author, I want to write a good story.

- Many want a sequel, but I'm not sure if I want one...I have no ideas and I have no clue what general shape it would take. And I don't think I would be comfortable writing about Embla, she isn't a character I ever planned on developing. For me, the interesting one is Hiccup, and probably always will be.

So here is my question :

Should I persevere on The Curious Tale Of A Pair ? If so, what's wrong with it ? Should I start over and write it better ? Are some details annoying you ?

Or

Should forsake The Curious Tale Of A Pair and start the sequel ? If so, what general shape should it take ? for example : Should Embla run away and return, or should she stay and struggle to return Manarfell to it's former glory ect...?

Note that if I am to write the sequel then I need to know what general type of story you would like to read. From there, I should get my internal creative machine to iron out the actual detailed plot-line. If you have any specific suggestions for either possibility then PM me so as not to spoilers.

Note also that what I suggest are merely two possibilities, that means that if you want an entirely different story or something else, then know that I am absolutely open to suggestions.

Your feedback is much needed and entirely appreciated in all it's aspects. ( Even if it's a single comment that just reads 'Stupid' )

Thank you.

Elliot.
