Book Blogger Hop: Writing a Sequel to a Classic

Welcome to the Book Blogger Hop!

This Week's Prompt:

If you could write the sequel to a classic book, which one would it be? What new characters or plot twists would you bring in?

╍Submitted by Billy, Coffee-Addicted Writer.

My Answer:

I would never want to write a sequel to any classic book for fear of ruining it. While I don't mind reading "authorized" sequels, prequels, or spinoffs, I would never attempt to continue someone else's characters or plots. Honestly, I would just anger the diehard fans of whatever classic or IP I chose to write about. That said, if a publisher offered me a substantial amount of money to ghostwrite under a deceased author's name, I might reconsider and go for it.
