For clarification:
-Yes, this is an MLD sequel (Strike one)
-I have written no previous works (Strike Two)
-And did I mention this happens to be my absolute first fic? (Strike Three)
According to Sports Law, I’m dead. Baseball, Zack Morrison references, and feeble attempts at humor aside, I just wanted the audience to understand I was not unaware of depravity of my deed. MLD sequels are notorious for being bad and I cannot possibly claim what I have written is good. That is up to you, dear reader.
Understand that I have read many of the sequels while writing this, and please realize I have done my best to exceed the average sequel in story and in development. But I must stress I have only tried to exceed the garden variety MLD sequel. This is not arrogance, nor is it because other authors are inadequate, but because ROB has taken enough flak just for being generous enough to allow others to use his work as a springboard.
I have done my best to make sure it is not only well-written, but also to expand upon the original as all good sequels should. (If only because it is entirely rude to the author of the original piece if you soil his name and reputation with a shoddy fic)
Hate it if you wish to hate it, like it if you choose to like it. It is here, it is done, I am done. Come what may, I do hope you enjoy some part of it. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll find it a good MLD sequel.
