Oh yeah. As a reader, it's awful. It's like, stories demand closure. I don't mean necessarily tying up all the loose ends or solving every mystery or even having a definite, unambiguous ending. I've never really been able to successfully pin it down, but it's like an incomplete story is a nagging, maddening hole where something should be. It's a question with the wrong answer.So very frustrating.

On the other hand, as a writer, I am more than guilty of that, especially as most of my fic were for challenges. Sometimes it's more obvious (The story I wrote for a reverse bang, about Dean and Cassie) sometimes I think the incompleteness is mostly in my own head (the fringe/spn story from summer gen) because I know where it was supposed to go. I hate it almost as much as a writer than as a reader, because running into that problem as a reader doesn't lead to guilt, hah.
