I found this utterly intriguing. I like it as a *whole* - not for any particular ending, or a preferred ending (although, naturally I'm partial to the whole sex slave thing *g*), just as a post-modern demonstration of the incompleteness of the story. Let me elaborate a bit - possibilities are inherent in a narrative, they're not explicit. When they are explicit the narrative is inconclusive - and as readers we like conclusions. But this does not mean the possibilities are not there, it's just that they have the appearance of conclusion. What if we defy the conclusion? The narrative becomes permeable and flexible. In other words, fanfic.
