The End of Strangetown, Here we Come.

I wrote the ending of Strangetown, Here We Come today.

I'm really quite pleased that I was able to figure it all out, since I've had it hanging over my head for such a long time. I finally know precisely how it's going to end, and I think the ending ties all the various plot threads together better than I ever thought I'd be able to, and it also gives one of the characters the chance to shine to his/her full potential (a character that I always intended something special for, but had never fully determined exactly what that would be). Miraculously, I think I get to make use of all of the balls that I currently have in the air, and it all goes out with a bang in one big event.

The one problem is that it's a long way off yet. Maybe so far off that I'll never get through it all as I'd like to. I really want to, but I know it's a long shot. For now, I'm going to keep on keeping on, and see if I can make it. If it begins to feel like way too much, I could always compress some parts of it to get ahead faster, and if all else fails, I'll just give you the condensed version of what happens. Either way, I know it won't just stop without a resolution. I have a resolution now.

I'm really happy. ^_^ I was determined to see this huge, crazy project through to the end, and now I feel like I'll really be able to make it happen.

I don't want give it away, but I will give away this one little hint: It is, overall, a happy ending. It's not all going to be pretty, but things will be mostly okay in the end.

For a second, I freaked out thinking it was ending now. But then I read the entry. It's nice to see that you don't have to stress about it anymore. I really love this story and it's going to be a shame to see it end, but I do love happy endings too. ^^ Congrats.

Heheh. I couldn't resist the dramatic title.

It's going to be much easier to get where I'm going when I know where that is. I stil have some details to work out, but most of them are pretty minor and can happen as I go, with the gameplay.

Don't worry about the story ending any time soon. I'd say it's probably about halfway finished, if I write it all out as planned. Maybe a little more, if I end up shortening parts.

Thank you. I'm glad you've enjoyed it so far.
