I've been pondering this. I just finished my first novella (41000 words), its set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe (I don't how many people know this.) Anyway, I just finished it, and all the while I've been planning for a sequel. However, the ending may be better as a stand alone. I can't really decide.

Basically, it is about a soldier on Earth in the 29th mellinium and a man called the Emperor is coming into power (This is set many mellenia before teh actual game universe). He defends his country and saves his friend from being kidnapped and 'brainwashed' kind of.

As the Emperor inevitably wins in the end, I decided to have the MC's country go out with a bang. The country detonates all of its nuclear reactors in a final effort to destroy many Imperial forces. In the very final paragraph, the MC leaps onto a taking off plane as the count down reaches zero.

I wanted it to continue to have him go across the world to finally confront the Emperor himself by the end (and die dramatically). What do you guys think?

This is fanfiction? Then I assume you're writing it just for your own amusement.

If you've written your 40,000 words, found the experience engaging, and have a lot of ideas still floating around, by all means write a sequel.

If, however, you're bored of doing the same old thing and have pretty much said what you wanted to say, just wrap it up and move on to something else.
