Wow, you're actually going to make a trilogy out of it? Color me even more intrigued. 👀 You don't have to go into detail or anything, but do you have basic outlines written out for all three stories, or is it just general notes/ideas? I tried writing a full outline for my own TRM rewrite/sequel, but I got maybe like, two-thirds of the way through before my inspiration gave out lmao

That's the goal! Or, perhaps it's really more accurate to say that I've always felt like TRM was being set up for a trilogy (but unfortunately didn't earn any sequels) and I've wanted to write out the story as I anticipated it going.

It's entirely different, however, to tell a whole story arc over a 15-17 chapter VN as opposed to a who-knows-how-many-chapter novel-esque fanfic. 😅 A lot more needs to go into the latter than the former. So I have strong ideas for where I want the story to go beyond the original, and I have a lot of the major steps along the way planned out. But it would be wrong of me to say it's fully outlined.

I need to get in there and fill in the gaps, which might include pestering my "focus group" for things they'd like to see. Because it really shouldn't be all about me and what I want, right? 😁

Assuming I don't die before I finish this project, if all goes well, there'll be three books for it! If the second and third act don't really fill out the way I want them to, it'll probably be two and a bit of an epilogue.
