OK, while I am still trying to advance Shattered Innocence towards its conclusion, I don't really mind any of you coming up with your own conclusions on how the story will change. Now, what I had mentioned in that one blog was the most likely way the story would end, but keep in mind, it's subject to change. Now, when making your own take on the story, I do kind of take a few grievances with some common endings to stories.

For one, I absolutely despise the "it was all a dream" or "it was all in this character's mind" type of endings. Besides the fact that they're lazy, they entail that the entire story was pointless. Say if Requiem for a Loud ended up being a nightmare that Lincoln or one of the sisters were having. Not only would that destroy any sense of levity that the story had, but it ultimately retcons the entire story, basically saying that none of it mattered because it didn't actually happen. Dream theories....I hate those because they aren't disprovable. Any story or TV show that has weird stuff happen can easily be explained away as just the results of this character's delusions. From theories like the Rugrats are all figments of Angelica's imagination, to Ash is in a coma, they all aren't disprovable because surreal or strange events take place in both. Heck, you can even say that the Loud House is all in Lincoln's head. Either he's an only child believing that he has ten sisters (say that they lived in the house at some point but died) but it's really his drug-induced delusions. In summary, I don't encourage a dream ending for the story because it ultimately makes the story pointless.
