The way I see it, fantastic literature is the dirge of our civilization, a final retelling of our most ancient and primordial songs. The song ends when our voices fall silent. No one knows what follows the song. We can only hope that we’re somehow stronger for the singing.This is what the best storytelling does, I think: arms us against what we cannot understand. Given my themes, ending any other way would be a betrayal.
But this rich, and now good looking, fans that keep getting mentioned, someone needs to send them this way.
He also names delavagus the authorial successor should the worst happen.Writing-Conglomerate stand down. We have one buffer between us and Herb-dersoning TSTSNBN .I really wish delavagus still engaged here.
I don't pretend to know what he means by "ending any other way would be a betrayal."
Glad to see you back around, Callan S.

No neat moral, perhaps. Expect a plot finished, but questions the plot raises about life to be left way open ended.
