Dear fanfic author

I ... don't usually do this, but... I feel a need to vent that isn't through an unfair comment, so:

dear fanfic author,

I see what you did there. You ran out of time for your challenge and just kind - handwaved the ending. I understand that - as a writer. But as a reader I feel kinda cheated. You were building up to something quite interesting and then, wham bham, thank you Sam, all resolved neatly in time for the deadline.

Disappointedly.

As a reader I agree. For me it feels like reading a fic at a steady pace and then someone hitting the fast forward button and wham... it's over. Resolved, done but missing something ineffable. *shrugs*

As a writer, I do completely understand it. I may have (to a degree) done it myself *refuses to review own fic just in case*. And it could even be that as a writer, you had no clue how to end it, got some help from a beta and voila - ending. *shrugs* Still annoying... :)
