There's only three chapters left in my fic, but the one I'm on now is really complicated. Just trying to figure out how to put new spins on unavoidable "Stations of the Canon" moments. I'll definitely do a second series made up of short fics of scenes that should have been in this main story but aren't. Like the development of Silas and Dianna's relationship, Dianna's relationship with Michael, maybe Jaqui's attempt at marrying Kurt Ghent, how Jaqui and Abigail learn to get along, definitely a stand alone Jaqui/Josephine fic... This is not The Newbie's Guide to Kings, I don't have to retell every second of the entire thirteen episodes but it's possible that following the fic at all requires knowing that plot?
I should have done more with the conflict between Rose and Jaqui. Queen Rose, on the show, basically had Katrina (Jack's first fiancee) die in a “car accident” because she couldn't handle the thought of being supplanted by a younger queen. She makes sure that Lucinda, Jack's second choice, won't even think about making a power grab. She's much harsher with Michelle than with Jack, throwing her to the media wolves to protect Jack's reputation. And in Queens, the struggle between queen and princess should be explosive, so maybe look for more of that.
