Writing a Series

[snogged]

Hey Flisters/Writers:

I've never really written a series before but I want too. I have an idea for one floating around in my brain that was inspired by a plot bunny I saw over in the feedmykink list.

So for those of you that have successfully written series, are there any pointers you can give me?

Most of my series have been accidental. I'll decide after finishing a story that there's still more to tell, so I write a sequel. Then that sequel gets a sequel and low and behold, a series! (I define a series as three or more stories that follow each other but are complete in and of themselves.)

Or, with the Adam/Claire series, I decided that I wanted to give the backstory to the one already written, with plans to write more along the same vein.
