Shall I continue Decagram past Family Matters?

[akk]

I'm thinking about whether or not I continue the Decagram past FM. While I have quite some plot I'd like to tell, I'm not sure it would still be a fanfic.
36° was about their connection & Seishiro's past as Sakurazukamori.
Family Matters is about how they continue & the past of their clans.
Additional plots would be (in no particular order):

• Yue's story
• Setsuka's story
• Seishiro's life around the time of making the bet, between the making of the bet and its execution, until the beginning of X
• what happened with Subaru's parents
• and the continuation of Family Matters would tell how all that affects their present existence.

But I'm pretty far from the canon already and the distance would increase necessarily with the next part.
So far, 36° & FM are seen rather positively, but I wonder if I don't "overuse my stay" if I stray that far from the canon into original territory.

What do you think?

I don't shoot my leg, because the side stories don't have to be read in order to have fun with the main story/ies.
I already try to make each main story halt at an end where it is bearable to stop following the Decagram arch in case one looses interest. (One=reader; not author!)
Writing side stories is essential for me to ensure congruent & conclusive plot. They almost always light up specific background details which influence character behavior or plot. I usually develop them until I am sure how the character(s) would have handled the specific issue. If the side story is close to completion at that point. I finish & post it (For example: teeny!Seishiro's fisticuffs with Suoh) if not, the written snippets get shelved "for further reference (example: Seishiro secretly healing Suoh after he was stabbed by the TS in 36°-X; Subaru was asked to do that, but Suoh rejected help. The Sumeragi wouldn't go against explicitly expressed wishes; Seishiro doesn't give a damn about that). The latter might at some point being turned into a story, or not. But not anytime soon. The main plot goes first.
Yue's story will be independent (mostly). But I will prepare the 3rd story of the Decagram in connection with Family Matters. Like I prepared Family Matters in 36°. There is definite main chara plot left to be told. No reason not to do that. :)

"No reason not to do that. :)"

All in the hands of the author :) *bows with respect*

BTW: I love the way how you list the facts, and the way it shows how much you love it :P

Partially, I'm nervous because I'm going to turn certain issues upside down with chapter 16 ff. Hence... :)
