Parkinson apparently did not have an issue with Ward's sequels:

==Summaries==
In 2000, two fans Cassie Ingaben and Dagger compiled an index of many of the circuit stories. They also wrote brief summaries:
[And Memories Due I]: Cassie: Time has passed from the interlude in the Mirror universe, and D still has not remembered his month spent as a hustler, and even B's anxiety over the possibility is fading. The lads are still together, and all goes well—in a series of flashback B remembers how they got through revelations about their past traumas (D's mum killed by his father; B's father kicking him out for having an affair with his stepmother). Then D remembers, and goes into a crisis: but their love eventually pushes them through this one as well. All is happy in this universe: but in the Mirror one, the Mirror B has just lost his Mirror D to death, and cannot deal with the end of their stormy and dysfunctional relationship. So he starts planning ways to get to the Other universe to look for the Other D... "
==Background==
At the time the stories were written, many of the paper circuit stories contained no author name, so when Ellis Ward wrote her 'sequel' to Felicity M Parkinson's Looking Glass World, she had no idea who to contact to obtain permission. In the 1990s Ellis Ward explained that her two stories were not sequels per se, but more "inspired by" Looking Glass World. The original story by Felicity M Parkinson was a take on the Star Trek Mirror universe where the characters are unpleasant (as in the Star Trek Mirror 'verse) and gay (not in the original Star Trek Mirror 'verse.) In "And Memories Die I" Ellis wanted to explore what Doyle might experience when he finally remembered what he had done (and what had been done to him) in the mirror universe. In "And Memories Die II" she wondered might happen if the Mirror characters were to once again come into contact with 'our' Bodie and Doyle. Ellis later explained in a letterzine that Felicity M Parkinson was not pleased with the sequels as she (a) had not given permission and (b) would not have taken them in the direction that Ellis had chosen. In her letter, Ellis explained that as far as she was concerned Felicity M Parkinson's "is the only "authorized" version and should she ever write a sequel, it will be the "official" sequel." Ellis also apologized for failing to obtain permission.Source: Morgan Dawn's personal notes, accessed June 6, 2013.
