There's got to be thousands of people writing fanfiction. The chances of finding a magic lamp in my back yard might be better. I hate to sound cynical, but people shouldn't write fanfiction in the hopes of having it become sequals. <br />Besides, I know one writer of a TV series I like who refuses to read fanfiction. I never asked her why, but as a writer, I would guess it's because she doesn't like to see the characters she helped to create given personalities and traits that were never intended. <br /> <br />~Hikaru</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>AladdinFan92</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon May 01, 2006 1:55 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: No Aladdin?

Because it was RoJ that actually made me a fan and the whole idea of sequels is what got me thinking about Disney in that way, imagining that the characters have lives outside of the story (I'm probably not explaining this well <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> ). So probably TLK because it was the next one to come out and if there's no Aladdin there's no RoJ so TLK2 would be the first sequel... but, then TLK2 would probably have never been made if RoJ had never done so well and... argh, so confused! <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> I love what-ifs but it's much harder with real life than it is with fiction. <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /></td> </tr> </table> <span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />...*smiles and nods* <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> Nah, I get what you're saying. <br /> <br />Hercules and Tarzan are my third favorites, yet Hercules came out before Mulan. Even though I watch the series and I am familiar with it, I still wouldn't quite be in the fandom. There's so much backstory wth the myths and catching all the references that it would be too much work to be hardcore in the fandom <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> .</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
