Phew, finally done and I fixed previous mistakes in earlier parts so it'll be better on the yahoo group when I post it. Hope you enjoy it!! ( Read more... )
Well that's an honest comment - and considering this fic doesn't get much of any comments I suppose others either agree, don't care to read it, or possibly just decided to lurk.
Now as for the ending. Actually - it's not really the ending I wanted either. Simply put - I copped out, my characters - or rather McCoy doesn't want to cooperate for now. He decided on a rest. He IS after all the one that got raped, though you could say nu!Spock was raped in a way - and he wanted some comfort before he went running amok and going off to hide in Georgia or becoming a Vulcan colonist or just about anything to get away from the Enterprise and seeing the younger Spock everyday. I decided to give him a time out. But really? The story isn't over. I'd rather hoped a little more interest so I'd know if it is even worth a damn to continue. I do have at least one request. I think reboot Spock has some very unresolved issues with McCoy - remember his jealousy he showed while drugged - he's got some feelings for what happened between this McCoy and the other universe's Spock - the mission where they were abducted interfered with dealing with it. SpockPrime, as you put it, knows full well he needs to deal with it. I ended it where I did because...well, I'm a crappy author that wanted a stopping point. Sorry. Truth is - it's still in my head and I'd been starting on the next part when I found the quiet of posting a signal that maybe even if I do continue writing it isn't worth posting. I dunno - I guess I'll continue just for myself. Just so you know, I know it ended a bit on a sappy note, but SpockPrime decided not to interfere with this universe - at least for the moment - and it is only natural to want to help McCoy heal a bit. Doesn't mean they weren't going to be interrupted when I decided to just stop it. Maybe I shouldn't have said complete - but I did want the people who were waiting for the wip to be finished to give it a chance. Oh well.
So... I've reread this whole thing now. And I'm baffled by the ending that feels like the middle to me. There is so much unresolved. nuSpock's feelings of jealousy, SpockPrime and nuSpock's confrontation, McCoy moving past this. Jim figuring out how to deal. None of that has occurred. So I guess people are confused by your intent to end it here. I get that the intent is to keep people from being frustrated with a lack of updating. But I myself am more frustrated by the lack of resolution. I think I'd prefer to know that you are still thinking about the story... that there is still a chance of more in this verse... that someday there will be some sort of ending to this wrenching story. Your story grabbed me in the beginning, kept me wanting more, evoked feelings, kept me wanting more. I do sincerely hope that you change your mind and continue adding to it as you see fit.
I would like to continue the story. Truth is, so few comments or interest in the story kind of made me tuck it aside for now. Really, fanfic writers live for comments and some kind of positive feedback that there are at least a few people enjoying the story. Kind of deflates your ego when it gets maybe 3 or 4 comments. Having one more comment, even anon does help, though. Thanks.
