Has anyone read a book & when you were finished you felt sad b/c it was the end?
You wished the story would go on & on & on!

Pretty much every Terry ?Pratchett fan cries when (sometimes at last) reading “The Shepard’s Crown”. It is the last book he ever did or ever will write and his estate has forbidden anyone else to use his Discworld universe. Th Th Th Th that’s all folks.

I was very sad when I read Terry Pratchett's last book. His books had always brought me so much joy, and the knowledge that there would never be another one brought me to tears.

But I wasn't ready to leave your world yet!
Only all the time. Why do you think fanfic exists? Of course, some of it sucks, but a lot of Marion Zimmer Bradley's contributors to Darkover went on to develop full-fledged worlds and careers of their own.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was like that and was always pleased to discover the "trilogy" had more than three books.
Like, every book.
Specifically the Sackett series by Louis L’amour, he died before he could complete it.

@pthomas59 i’ll check’em out and add it to my ever growing list. I swear I’ll end spending a quarter of my life reading.
Yes, but fortunately I like Series books, so there is usually another one coming in a year.

Personally I am glad they is not allowing anyone else to continue it. I don't remember ever seeing a series continued by somebody else that was anything except dreadful.
@GeorgeRocheleau zelazny’s Amber series is a case in point.
When that happens look for something else by the author.
