WARNING: This blog contains spoilers for "The Honeymoon".

With re-posting my older stories on this site at the same time as releasing new material, I've begun to think about what changes are really available in writing TG stories. When I originally wrote "The Honeymoon" three years ago, I left it with a very ambiguous ending that implied Roger/Robin became a mindless bimbo who slept with anyone at the Hotel. When revisiting the stories I felt that this was a fairly poor ending, which led me to the new ending where Robin possibly learns a life lesson. Of course, I've also received emails and messages that question ending with Sandy sleeping with another man to get pregnant.

I also once received a comment that stated that "I loved the story until the last line, which ruined it for me." I love inspiring that kind of feeling. Sometimes my stories end happily, sometimes they don't. Once I even wrote a story that even left me feeling distraught and feeling terrible for what fate the protagonist faced. In writing stories that typically don't break the ten thousand word mark, I like to end on a thought provoking idea that sometime is uncomfortable. I want readers to take such a small amount of information about someone and extrapolate what they will. I have a brother that is living in a poly-amorous relationship, so this ending would speak to his experience. I also have a sister who is married and devoutly religious who would see such a thing as an impossible strain on a relationship.

We're all different, and that colors how we perceive the world and the stories found within it. That's what I love about being part of this little community of like minded individuals, yet we approach it so differently whether it be a lifestyle, an idea or a fetish. No one here on this site shares the exact same experience or expectations of what a story should be, and that makes writing and exploring this theme so compelling.

So, is Robin's ending in "Honeymoon" a happy one? Is Sandy sleeping with Ryan some kind of punishment for her? Personally, I'd like to think that it's an ending that shows all of our actions have consequences, and consequences by definition are not inherently good or bad.
