Sure!
I mean, there are two ongoing series at the moment (if @catwing is still writing A Catwing Christmas), so you could wait for one of those to end if you want, but there’s always room for more. 🙂
The only thing I would recommend is making sure your story is fairly original. As long as the stories are fresh, they shouldn’t get old.
Good luck! 😉
Yay! Thank you! Don’t worry, I am pretty sure this is original. I am not sure when I will start it. I have to do some “research” first. 😉 I may wait for one to end if it doesn’t take too long. I don’t know. Again, thank you. ☺
@supermonkey42 *cough* Yes, I’m still writing it… Slowly… *nervous laguhter* I have been off and on with it…
@filewriterbase13x Warren is writing one but we have to wait until he comes back to read it, I’m taking forever, and Dekreel just finished her’s. You could totally do a KPA. 😉
Did you you see the character archive topic?
You’re welcome! I look forward to reading it.
