Here's my two cents: as IntellectuallyHonestRhino has pointed out, The Congressman may well have no intention of coming back to the site, in which case we will never know for sure whether or not he would be okay with a Part III. However, as I stated in an earlier post, I think it would be a shame for the final legacy of this timeline to end on such an unpleasant note, with all the associated issues unresolved. I think our best option would be to pick a date, perhaps a month or two in the future, when we will start work on the sequel. If The Congressman does come back onto the site during that time and gives us our blessing, then great. If he comes back to say he doesn't want us writing a sequel, then that'll be the end of it. But if, by the time that date comes, he hasn't returned to the site (or he's returned to the site but hasn't stated his opinion on the matter), then we start writing; and if at any point while we're writing, the Congressman comes back and asks us to stop, we stop. If anything, this kind of plan would give us ample time to work out the disagreements we have on what direction to take the sequel. What does everyone think?
