I get a little confused, mixing up storylines and such. can someone point it out clearly for me please?
Ta-damm! Här är jag!
As it happens I did a little research on this... To answer your question, here's a small lecture on Fucking Åmål sequels. (Forgive me!
)
All in all, I know of seven such sequels (needless to say, none is finished, they are all fragments, between 2 and 15 pages long!)
I will not give my opinion on their quality, which varies greatly.
There are two types of sequel projects. We can call the first the "5
minutes later"-type, and the other one the "5
years later"-type.
That means, the first type continues the story right where the film breaks off, either literally "five minutes later", or starting again with the next day in school or something. The second type takes the story up again after a lapse of time of five years. As far as I know, there are four texts of the first kind, three of the second.
The oldest script of the "5
minutes later"-type seems to be a quite long text written by one Matic Azman (from Slovenia, I think) in the rebecka-liljeberg.com-forum back in 2002. You can still find it here, , even after rebecca-liljeberg.com has apparently disappeared, thanks to droopy:

Secondly, there's Nemo_me's current text which Ole features, and which is of course of the same type. Let's hope that it keeps growing!
Then there are two more sequels of this kind, both of which however are unavailable right now:
Yvette Boulanger wrote the beginning of a 5ML-sequel in the end of 2005 on this website
http://what-love-is.tripod.com/
but since January 2006 it is down and I doubt if it will ever be up again.
The last is a private thing that was once sent to me. I still hope I can convince the author to make it public soon.
Now, for the second type, the "5 years later" type, of course the most famous of these is Peter Svensson's script which was first published in the rebecca-liljeberg.com forum in 2002 and which Sydney featured on the old fucking-amal.com site. You can find it here:

(Read some of the frantic comments the script received, they're hilarious!)
It seems to have been agreed that Peter's script was of such a high quality that other authors have always tried to continue his script rather than to start from scratch.
So there are two attempts to continue the "5 years later" script, and both were put up in this forum (where you'll easily find them by scrolling down): The first one is by Tiffany (t.a.t.u4ever), which broke off very soon (in September 2005). The second one is by Kolya. It is by far the longest and I am - as everyone knows - particularly fond of it. The latest installment is only a few weeks old and there has been a long discussion about it here in the forum.
If somebody knows of something I've been missing, tell us please!
