My muse is playing whack-a-mole with my creative instincts

So apparently, when my muse strikes, it hits me in the head with a 2x4.

I wrote Moving Day as a one-shot, but a number of people, particularly over at Illusive, clamored and clangored for more chapters. Now, I realize that I don't have to accomodate them, but I started thinking about all the different places that the story could go, beginning with that one-shot as the first chapter.

And came up with at least 5.

So, I'm not just writing a story off of that one-shot. Oh, no. That would be too simple. I'm writing a series. Probably five different stories, each one 5 or so chapters long, that begin with "Moving Day" as the first chapter. The stories themselves will have nothing to do with each other, but it's just an exercise in storylines to see how far down completely different paths the same beginning can take us.

Which means that I'm going to be stuck in the minds of Rory and Logan for a very long time. I'll definitely need to write something else in between, just to keep myself from going too crazy!
