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.

I'm glad you have an ending - hopefully it means you're able to write more in between if you've got an end in sight.
I'll be upset to see it finish, but *fingers crossed* that won't happen for a while yet!

I'm sure I'll write tonnes and tonnes of in-between, based on how long it's taking me to reach my major turning point in the story (read: a LOT longer than I thought).
Yeah, that ending isn't coming any time soon. ;)
