Happily Ever After...

[kerrilee]

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?

I wouldn't say a happy ending makes up for a poorly written story, but I think I see what you mean. I've not yet read something where the happy ending appeared to me to be contrived or forced. And if I did, would I feel as let down as I do now? I suspect I'd feel a little disappointed, but not like I am feeling now about this one. So, yeah. I can see where it would bail the author out a bit.

Maybe I'm changing my stance a bit. ;)
