Sequels, Like Weights On My Shoulders

[Stella_Omega]

I was thinking of doing a story that involved two character from previous, unrelated stories. For authors who have combined storylines or involved other characters how much do they worry about timeline sequence? Do they worry that what one character does in this story isn't accounted for in their others if they stories are out of sequence? Or shouldn't I even bother worrying about it since I have no interest in trying to create a world with a coherent time line that is going anywhere.

I look forward to see what others think.

I wouldn't worry about it. For myelsf, I like things to be a little disconnected, a little surreal.... And a character as seen through one set of eyes may be completely different from another point of view.

Thanks for your opinion Stella. I think I'll opt for a middle ground, a compromise if you like, between Stella's and oggbashan's positions. I'll try to keep the stories as consistent as possible but I won't let one not get written because timelines don't quite mesh or all their time can't be counted for. Thanks again.
