Yeah that sounds like a good plan! There are so many stories that I need to catch up on 
I wish there were more competitions on Tapas for writers. 
I guess this is the time for that. I just finished my story and although I have a few ideas of what I might want to do, no real direction.
I've got one started that is set in Japan between a white kid from the US whose parents just moved there to teach and a Japanese kid who just returned from NZ where his dad was an Ambassador. Both end up at this semi-prestigious international school.
Second possible project is this kid whose mom takes off for reasons, and he tries to cover for the fact that she is gone in the hopes that she comes back. But eventually he and his boyfriend take off together when stuff gets too complicated (like facing possible eviction).
But all I really want to do is keep poking the project that I just finished. BUT it needs to sit there for awhile and think about what it has done before I should be allowed to touch it again.
Do you have any ideas of what you might do next?
I love your ideas they sound really interesting, especially the second one! 
Aside from writing a sequel for my almost completed story, I have a couple of ideas that I'm tinkering with right now for my second title:
First one was light-hearted rom-con BL where two exes fatefully meet again as new neighbours in London.
My other idea was a feared assassin being entrusted by his secret crush to be a bodyguard for a bratty rich kid who is being targeted. Ends up becoming some sort of love triangle (or not, haven't decided yet).
I have a third one which is like a dystopian sci-fi BL but...that one needs a lot of work and world-building.
So I will probably focus on my sequel first...after taking a good long break, of course. I've been posting daily chapters since end of September last year 
Sequel is good 
I am working on a sequel atm as well, but I don't plan to try BL again, because I think I blended in too much fantasy or whatever, or otherwise didn't get it right. So, I need to understand where I am going wrong before committing to the genre again. It was a good experience, but I didn't reach the wider readership like I've hoped to.
Thanks! 
Aww, I think you've done really well considering how saturated the genre is to break into. I love your writing style. 
If only there was a magic recipe to get everyone's stories successful on Tapas! There's some real gems out here (including yours) that don't get the reads they deserve 
It's great to hear that you're working on your sequel though. I hope you'll have another try at BL in the future, I would love to see it!
