What Comes After Sanctuary 2?

​That is undoubted the question that many of you have since I've been teasing this.  It's actually something that I was unsure of. I knew there were so many questions left unanswered, which I could have put in Sanctuary 2 or in The Fell, but I realized that this wouldn't work. Or rather Kat showed me it wouldn't work.  That I had enough material for a whole other serial that would answer the outstanding questions and really give everyone the proper "ending".  Which is what has led to the following announcement! 

I am creating a serial called Dark Magic, which will combine Winter Haven Country Club and The Pact.  So in this story, I'm going to answer the following questions:

The Necklace

Cole thinks to give the necklace to KC, but worries what it will do to her. What is the deal with this necklace? Is it more than it seems?

Eighteen Dates 

I really thought of WHCC as a series of vignettes with us seeing characters from other stories we love and then we had our main couple. That... went off the rails. Suddenly, it was all a part of the Winter Haven Universe and I couldn't go back to the Cole and Stephanus romance, because the story was simply pushing forward. Now, Dark Magic is not going to be vignettes. It's going to connect the witch and demon universe more tightly together. But its also going to give us more of Cole and Stephanus' love life as it should, along with Emrys and Nate!

The Uncle 

At the end of The Pact 2, Nate's mysterious uncle appeared. We don't know where he's been. We don't know why he came back. We don't know if he's a good or bad addition to Winter Haven witch community.  

When will Dark Magic start?

I think May, but maybe June. Why? I didn't plan all this out and I want to make sure that I have everything in order, at least as much order as I can (and your comments of course change everything!).  

What about The Fell?  

​Dark Magic still takes place before The Fell, I think, or at least alongside it. But here's the thing, you won't have to read Dark Magic before continuing on with The Fell.  Dark Magic is really to answer only those questions left unanswered for Cole, Stephanus, Emrys and Nate in the witch world, while the elven world is different. So you can go straight from Sanctuary 2 to The Fell again. So The Fell should start posting again next month.  I'm not going to update the calendar yet as I consider how I want to do things.

What am I missing?

​What am I missing? What am I forgetting? This is where you come in. I want you to remind me of any plot points that aren't here or, even if they weren't left hanging, things you would like to see. Please tell me in the comments!
