I’m a sucker for happy endings.  I’ll write the darkest stuff I think my audience will accept into the middle of my story, all so I can elicit a mile-wide grin out of them at the conclusion.

    Everything is going to be fine in the end.

    So I believe in happy ending 😀

    I like happy endings too but only if it is plausible. I don’t like fairy tales. 🙂

      True. It’s gotta be believable.

    Happy endings are usually nice to read, however, the most emotional are the ones that seem tragic but have hope – like Romeo and Juliet, where they both die but the fight between the families comes to an end. Bittersweet.

      I actually hate that ending.😆But I really enjoyed “Warm Bodies.” it only took a zombie love story twist for me to enjoy Romeo and Juliet, haha!

        It does feel a little like a cop out but it’s a good example of bittersweet haha. To be honest, the whole thing just brings back memories of secondary school *shudder*.
        “Warm Bodies” is awesome, just in general.

        Yep, I tell you what—I’ll take the metaphorical death over the real one any day. (Also appreciated the fact that Juliet wasn’t 12 or 13 or whatever she was in the original, LOL!)

        Haha, same. Metaphorical death allows for much more in literature and media anyway, I mean, it’s better to have a character learn than a character die for the most part. (Oh yeah, that’s a good point…)

        It’s actually what I’d coin “a productive death,” as the character’s obsolescence dies off, but their ability to contribute does not. 🙂

        That is a pretty neat way of putting it, and I must also thank you for introducing me to obsolescence as a word 🙂
