Lauren D.M. Smith I'm happy you liked it! For right now, I don't have any real plans for something with the same characters as Arrow was always intended as a stand-alon…moreI'm happy you liked it! For right now, I don't have any real plans for something with the same characters as Arrow was always intended as a stand-alone. I do have a half-formed idea, but nothing I'll be pursuing at the moment. (less)
