What confused me was the blacklisted subjects page. It says: "Due to the excessive similarity and general lack of quality of these types of stories and to the fact that the community at large is fed up with the constant posting of subpar spinoffs on this site, we no longer accept spinoffs, sequels, prequels, knockoffs, or fanfics of stories or creepypasta entities the author didn't create of any kind."

I think it means that in regards to things like Jeff the Killer and author created sequels are fine. I'm not sure though, the wording has me confused. I think your best bet would be to ask an admin. I'm sure you could appeal for a sequel if the rule is no, because you've got a super long story which means you've put effort into it.

If you can't make a sequel even with an appeal, then I'd recommend breaking your story up into chapters and/or parts (maybe have part 2 come after 6,000 words). Authors can create sequels to their own stories, is effectively what it's saying.

Sequels to pages the author didn't write can be allowed onto the site via spinoff appeal.
