A series are made up of several stories, usually with multiple chapters. All the stories are somehow connected to/takes place in the same plot-verse. It can, for example, consist of a main story with prequels (takes place before) and sequels (takes place after).
roads travelled ~ out of the blue series
A rewrite of the Out of the Blue Series (find below). Roads Travelled is better written with more realism, better developed characters and plot along with a slightly darker tone. That's not to say it lacks friendship, romance and humour, because it doesn't! The further I get into writing it, the more I find it drift away from the original, which is only a good thing. My epic tale, and is currently my main priority when it comes to writing and updates.

Road of Loyalty (4/7), Road of Endurance (5/7), Road of Recovery (6/7), Road of Destiny (7/7) - NOT YET BEGUN.
The Out of the Blue Series was my first major undertaking when it comes to fanfiction, just because of the sheer length of it. However, I had a lot of inspiration and ideas, so the first fours stories got done relatively quickly. However, since starting part five, I've found most of my energy have gone towards the series rewrite, Roads Travelled, which is, in my honest opinion, a lot better. However, I am going to finish this series as well, even though updates are slow, because I am not going to abandon something I've spent years working on: That, and I could never disappoint readers of the series!

Starting over is something that definitely falls into the 'easier said than done'-category. Buffy and Remus are doing their best to move on, and get used to the changes and the new turn their life has taken, but it's not easy...especially not when living on a Hellmouth.
