Why can't I write happy?

[blue_underwing]

When I'm reading a story, one of my qualifications for "good" is that it have a happy ending. I don't read, and I especially don't read fanfic, to be depressed. That said, I find it especially irritating that I can't seem to manage to write stories with happy endings. The best I seem to manage is an ending less horrible than it otherwise would have

Who needs happy? ~_^

Need, no. Want, yes.

Of course, if I could pop out wonderfully well written novel length epics on a regular basis like, oh say, you, I wouldn't be that concerned about happy either. ^_^

*laugh!* Happy is all well and good, but there's a lot to appreciate about grim and gritty. *nodnods* Or slow, steady sorrow. Sometimes, you need to read that as much as you need happy. Also, it's easier to hold steady on that course, if you ask me. But then #^_^# Happy takes a roller coaster ride for me -- up and down and up and down. So. Uh. Yeah. *LOVES*
