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?

Keep good notes about important and even some minute details in the first fic because you never know how much it might come into play in one of the sequels later on. I learned this early on and it has helped me out more times than I can count on future scene ideas.

I'm one of those lucky ones that keep most notes in my head, but I have, on occassion, with bigger series wrote it down in a spiral for future use. This came in very handy when I was writing my longer Passions stories because more often than not, they turned into large scale epic series, one of which I'm still working to finish.
