"And so, despite the valiant efforts of our heroes and heroines, they were all wiped out and evil triumphed. The bad guy got to rule the world just as he had dreamed of, and people suffered and died at his hands for all eternity. The end."
"Then, suddenly a bomb dropped out of the sky and killed everyone. Hahahaha! I mean...how sad...THE END!"
or
"Everyone lived happily ever after as rich, beautiful, smart, nice people who simmered in their mary-sueness for the rest of the life because they're immortal."
I hate it! I mean seriously, does a story ever end? Unless some smartie pants author decides to destroy everything so completely and utterly that there is absolutely nothing left- which I don't think happens in many books- then the story simply continues on and on. Just like that sentence .
All 'The End' means to me is that the author cannot squeeze out any more creative juice and keep the story interesting or they are done because they cannot squeeze any more money into their pockets. Retirement, yay!

"at this point I would like to mention that, as I'm self-publishing this book, it's not like anyone's ever going to read it anyway, so it really doesn't matter one bit what I actually write! There is no story! I just enjoy telling people that I'm a published author! I mean, screw it, there's no need to actually write the damn thing (do you have any idea how long it takes to write a novel? I certainly don't, I never bothered!), you just have to carry it around in your coat pocket and use it as a pick-up line! So shove your head in a blender and hope you'll get a haircut, you writers, because I'll be out tantalising the opposite sex with my fifty-buck-a-pop fame packet and you'll be stuck in your dark room with a word-processor for company writing something brilliantly clever that no publisher's ever going to touch!
haha, I like yours Jenna. It reminds me of something I wrote a while back...hehe.
Bob...I love the long one, it's awesome, I just had to read it like, eight times. =D

"Oh my God! Did I kill you?"

But that is not the question. Why we are here, that is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in this immense confusion one thing alone is clear. We are waiting for Godot to come. -Beckett
""Of course I didn't die," said Eragon self-righteously. "Being the writer's alter-ego, I'll never die, age, look ugly, lose a battle or generally make Paolini look foolish!""
Too late, Eragon, dear idiot, too late....
"Oh, in case you were wondering, the moral of the story is bunnies!"

Llama 1:"Shh! Do you hear that? That's the sound of forgiveness." Llama 2:"That's the sound of people drowning, Carl!" Llama 1:"That is what forgiveness sounds like; screaming and then silence."
Then they launched the rocket, people watched go up and up. All the sudden it was coming down. It crashed back into the city it came from creating a huge blast. Nobody made it, or did they?
The End
[Griffinkeeper] 10:45 pm: The guard appears "We have weasels now!" [Firearris] 10:45 pm: askes the guard for the weasel! [Griffinkeeper] 10:45 pm: The guard gives Firearris the Weasel. [Firearris] 10:46 pm: aquires the weasel and renames it "Cat" Take that, Lumi.

Too late, Eragon, dear idiot, too late....
