Sadly, my crying doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with good writing. LOL. Finishing an epic is often a great relief, especially when I’ve been stressing myself over one storyline for what feels like forever. Who knew a hobby could cause gray hairs? But in truth, I have been playing in this AU for so long (like a year or more?) that it hurts my heart a little to let them go. It’s great when you finally make that connection with the characters, where they are as real to you as the canon versions of themselves. I think it’s a blessing to discover your own little ‘verse where everything just seems to naturally come together and tell a story clearly. You know that, though, because you’ve done it too!
