Hey all!
I wasn't going to post this until the lastest chapter was completed but honestly, I have had zero desire to write lately so I thought i'd post it now and maybe it would help motivate me to get going on the ending to this story. I do have Word opened and have about a page and half written at least, that's progress, right? :-X
Ever since I started it, I knew it was going to be a pick your own ending story and I have been really excited and couldn't wait to get to this point and here we are, almost!
So above there are three different options which will change the course of the ending depending on which one you choose.
Kevin makes a decision that will greatly effect the outcome of what happens to the boys. Choose what you would like Kevin to do and whichever option gets the most votes will be the way this story will end.
Of course, I will also go ahead and post the other two optional endings as well. Not saying it'll wrap up in the very next chapter. Depends on what you choose.
I hope that people who aren't reviewing but reading take the time to vote as well because if I went by reviews I would only have maybe 4 of you (sometimes 5 or 6) to have input and that would make me sad since writing all these endings is a lot of work and not worth it if no one cares but me lol I already know how it ends.
Thanks and happy voting! ;D

I'm beginning to feel like an idiot for thinking that people would care one way or another lol
-
Well I always review :) I also told you in your story that I would like to see Kevin take the other Nick back with them. I feel the same way sometimes, I want some feedback (not for review count) but just feedback and I'm not really getting it. I would love to see the other versions of the ending :)
-
I vote that Kevin takes the other Nick back. I've put it in my review too :)
I like that you're letting the readers decide what happens, it's very different. Can't wait to see what's decided and also read the alternate endings too.
-
Thanks guys. Getting reviews would be great but we already know how that goes. Seeing only 3 people care enough to vote is disheartening. I sometimes forget that people don't really read my stuff as much as they used to. I should have remembered that before concocting this idea up in my head. We'll see what happens. I'm not going to bother to write all these alternative endings if no one cares anyway lol
Just so you know though it's 2 votes for Other Nick going with them and one for dead Nick going with them.
-
Sorry Mare, I haven't been keeping up with this story, so I can't make an informed choice. I love the idea of alternate endings and letting the readers choose, though.
-
Mare, whenever I attempt to submit my vote to the poll I get an error message. So, I choose to have Kevin grab the other Nick's hand and pull him through the tear. A big part of me wants Kevin to grab Nick's body because, well, it's Nick and he's Kevin and I see Kevin always taking care of Nick. But, I just couldn't see the other Nick alone in this world without his "big brothers" when he has the chance to have them back.
I really like that you gave us the opportunity to participate in this story, Mare.
-
I voted, but I had to catch up first before even coming in here LOL.
-
Thanks for voting guys. I think your vote did go through Pam. :)
-
Hey guys, i'm going to be closing the poll this week so I can start to write the remaining chapters. Just so you know, right now there is a tie between bringing Nick's body and bringing the other Nick, counting a vote that was given off of this poll. I will write both of those endings but i'm not going to bother with the third one since no one wanted it. lol
-
*whistles* whoops I tied it up.... but really any way you end this will be fantastic and I can't wait Mare!
-
Thanks, Lore. You actually broke the tie and now bringing the other Nick is in the lead.
My next question to you guys, after this chapter they will start splitting. Would you like reading one entire outcome first? Or posting them simultaneously? I've never done this before so just trying to figure out the best way to do it.
After 38 everything will turn into 39 a 39 b etc... I could post a and b at the same time or just do all the a's and then all the b's. Not that there will be that many chapters once we split. There might only be two. NO idea yet. lol
-
Hrm, I think that I might like reading them simultaniously! that might be intriguing to start one, start the other, continue with one with the other. Makes it really seem like they are going on at the same time which they will be right?
-
Yup, if I do it that way it would be parallel just like the story I guess lol I'm just afraid it might be confusing.
-
I think I would like to read them simultaneously . I thougt think it will be confusing if you label them A and B.
-
I agree with Pammy and Lore :)
-
Well since what I voted for is apparently losing, I'd like to be able to read both simultaneously . lol
-
Thanks for your input guys!
I think i'll try to do it at the same time, this way there's really no winner just two alternate endings. I already have 39 a done and am in the process of writing 39 b. I'll try to post them both tonight and then if it is too confusing i'll do one then the other. :)
Thanks again guys! It's because of you i'm on a roll!
-
I don't mind how you do it :)
