Thanks to those who have stuck with me through this particular book. It was a challenge. My thanks to the late Comicality for all his support. He will be dearly, dearly missed!

If you ever wanted to branch out from Billy and Brandon:  I don't know if it's possible or appropriate for someone to write Ariel and Tyler (from New Kid and Angel) out of the anxiety mess that Ariel's in on that terrible Monday,   but if there's someone for it, it's probably you @MrM  .

They deserve the relief,  but maybe it's not true to Ariel's character that he ever gets relief.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, @Mattyboy. However, I’m up in the air about how to do a fan addition to any of Comsie’s stories. It’s a tall order to follow up on any of his stories! His voice was so unique. As I continue reviewing his archive, I become more and more sure of this.

I’ll keep it in mind, though. I’d love to see how many of these stories end! ☺️

New Kid  seems like it might have a proper ending, that girl that's been after Ryan but saw him dating Randy on Saturday outs them AND  accepts them,  and they proceed out and happy together.  The last episodes seemed to be trending that way. Although time was dilating in that series,  sort of.  I think the last 30 or so episodes  over the last decade are all in the extended Spring Break- it's almost as if it was narratively finished  but the characters were still living. 


Ariel  seems more of a problem;  his whole almost-supernatural kinetic discharge thing maybe is so part of him that he's just meant to be a pure embodiment of teen anxiety.  One narrative path out of that problem:  Tyler comes clean about Sam and Matt and tells him about his history with Randy,  and then Ariel demands to catch up to Tyler's body count over a couple of really porny episodes.  That'd be one of the natural conclusions  to the narrative arc . . .  but would it be corrupting the story's central idea? If you take away the crazypants bundle of nerves from Ariel, what'd be left ? 

Comsie (who I'm sure you knew better than I did) seemed to be more interested in savoring the tension than in resolving it.   So maybe it's right to just leave it poised where it is, sad as that may be.

Seeing how he’s finished some of his stories, particularly his short ones, I think Comsie did want to come to conclusions for all his stories. He just never got there unfortunately.

Yeah, I think kissed by an angel had one more drama part before it could conclude. The Tyler, Matt, and Sam angle would be a natural path for that just as you are referring to.

The one that seems to be getting the most requests for an ending is GFD. That one I believe Comsie had a definite ending for.
