Good evening everybody! This is Aifos coming to you alive from a little town in the middle of nowhere called Bismuth! I would say it’s lovely, but frankly it’s something of a wreck!
But anyway, I’ve got a question for you! It can be from books, movies, games, whatever, but what is your opinion on timeskip endings?
A timeskip ending, for those unaware, is when the final chapter/epilogue/etc. jumps a significant amount of time into the future—for example, let’s say a year—after the conflict has been resolved, showing how things have gone since then and whatnot.
Be as in depth as you can please; what do you like/dislike about them? If your opinion on them differs between different mediums, please elaborate. So on, so forth.
[b][u]Tl;dr? Here’s my point![/u][/b]
What do you think of timeskip endings in books and whatnot? If you don’t know what that is, please read above.
Thank you for your input in advance! Jambuhbye!

5 RepliesI tend to like them as they often give a sense of closure you can't get in the immediate aftermath of the climax. It's reassuring to know that while their "story" was over, their lives weren't. It's like saying goodbye to a friend who's moving away vs seeing that friend years later. It's hope vs knowledge that they're OK.
