Happily Ever After...

In a weekend full of my own fandom "coming of age" I guess it only appropriate that I finally stumble into a disappointing ending. Actually, that's not true. I'm more than a little pissed. But then I'm all, "Calm down, Kerrilee, not everyone has to have a HEA." But apparently I do. Especially after such a promising start. Ah, well, growing up is a bitch.

Tell me, do you have to have a happy or optimistic ending or not that important?
