Serena Steele asked M.K. England:

I LOVED the Treasure Planet twisted tale in A Twisted Tale Anthology and I was wondering if you could tell us more about Jim Hawkins' future after going pirate? And I have to ask is there any possibility of a full-length Treasure Planet Twisted Tale, because I think you would do great with it! Thanks for writing!

M.K. England Ahh, what a lovely thing to wake up to this morning! Thank you! I LOVED getting to write this short story. I prefer to leave things open-ended for readers to imagine their own way, but I think it's pretty safe to say that an ideal Jim future involves eventually getting his own ship and making his own way in the universe, free to be his own man. I don't think a pirate's life ultimately jives with him (too violent), nor the Royal Navy (too restrictive).

I would absolutely be down for writing a full-length twist on Treasure Planet, but I doubt it'll happen; Treasure Planet the movie isn't very well-known, so I'm not sure they'd be willing to do it. If they ever ask, though, my answer is yes! Thanks again for this. <3
