Further notes in the linked post.

As the divergences - a selection of alternate endings - are in the comments, I ask that if you choose to feedback (and please do) you do so in this post. Right here. 'k?

And now, I really need to sleep.

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.

Extraordinary. And daring. Liked it indeed.

Um. Wow. Thank you!

To be honest, it's more that I couldn't decide which ending to go for. But I much prefer the post-modern explanation. *g*

You really have put a smile on my face here.

The great thing about post-modernism is that it doesn't matter how you intended the story to be interpreted (and what is 'intention' anyway? Way too complicated) the meaning I make from it is just as important (or maybe more so). :)
