Even though it's not as complete as I personally would have liked, it's still a funny story. You've got the villan's speech and mannerisms down perfectly. Perhaps if you don't feel you can continue with this story perhaps someone else will pick up where you left off. Really good work though!

It's a shame you wrapped this up so quickly, it was just starting to heat up. :(

This chapter provides emotional closure to a story that attempted to flesh out scenes most readers thought they already knew. And, like the Epic Sitch stories “Best Friends” and “A Very Stoppable Holiday,” it demonstrates that the writer has a gentle and inspired touch in depicting our heroes in their advanced years.

I really enjoyed the descriptions of the elder Stoppables and their granddaughter. I especially thought the laugh lines around Kim’s eyes were a nice touch.

And who could NOT like this exchange:

“So true,” she agreed. “When it comes to losing your pants, you’re most definitely in a league of your own.”
“I thought you liked it when I lost my pants,” Ron said with a leer.
“TMI!” Annie interrupted, waving her hands theatrically

True, all narrative threads are not resolved. In addition, many readers might be disappointed at not having seen certain events played out on their computer screens (i.e Ron training at Yamanouchi to learn to control his new powers). That said, this short chapter helps the overall story fulfill its main objective: to answer the questions that “Graduation” left open. And I feel this chapter answered the most important questions.

I can understand having time shortened for Fanfiction, and I really appreciate the ending, which works well, to give a feeling of closure. Life, after all, goes on much longer than the writing of it.

You wrote in first passage "all that mattered to her was him and to her, him." I belive you meant "all that mattered to her was him and to HIM, HER."

Well darn you saying you were quitting the story made me reread it & want to know the real end =0 May I suggest filing this away somewhere & consider restarting it? Either way good stuff.

I don't know, MrDrP. I have mixed emotions about this.

It was a touching ending, but not a great ending. You left a lot of loose ends. You didn't give us any indications of what became of the villains, what became of Middleton and its inhabitants afterwards, etc.

Good story, not so good ending. I'm sorry, but that's how I feel.

Pretty nice ending. Cool job with Annie here.

Keep the good writing.

Terrific, this is a ending that I can enjoy, I am glad that you decided not to delete the story. Thank You.

This was a great finish to a great story.Thank you for finishing it.

Thanks both for not taking the story down and for giving it a completion chapter. While not a perfect ending, I'll grant you, it does give it enough closure to be satisfying, for me at any rate.

Keep up the good work.

A sweet, life affirming chapter with plenty of warmth and humor. Looking forward to your conclusion of LnD and your next project.

By way of explanation, I'm a retired Reference Librarian. One of the things that gets hammered into people like me, in Library School, and at workshops on caring for historical records, rare books and suchlike, is: Never do anything that cannot be undone!

Now, I respect your decision to stop adding to this marvelous story. I can understand how life gets in the way of writing. (I'm retired and I NEVER have enough time!) But for the sake of those who will find your other stories in the months ahead, don't deny them the enjoyment of "So Not The End of The World."

And even if you remove it from the website, please don't throw it out! Save it on a floppy disc, or a flash drive, or your hard drive, or make a printout copy. Even unfinished stories have a value, and you may find yourself wanting to come back to this in a year or two. Who knows?

Even an unfinished story is worth reading. Ever hear of "The Mystery of Edwin Drood?" Charles Dickens died when he had only finished writing the first half of that book, and people are studying, debating and suggesting endings for it to this day.

In any case, my thanks for writing as much of this as you have, and for telling us in advance about its possible removal.

That sucks...but I respect your decision. Truly sad thou, since I really enjoy this story. At least we have "Law and Disorder" :D

sorry to hear that your ending this buddy, but I'm wishing you good luck on your future endeavors. Like you I'm finding my time has to be concentrated more and more, and because of that, I hardly ever visit this site anymore. But whenever I do, it's always to you and Molloy that I turn. I know it sounds corny, but you guys have brought a lot of joy into my life, and I want to thank you for that.
