#SFFChat Q4: Spoil an element of the ending of one of your stories with a .gif or image (try to obscure it a little so it doesn't genuinely ruin the ending, haha).

#SFFChat Q2: How do you approach your endings? Do you know the ending in advance, do you decide later and then go back to foreshadow? Is the ending a small or big part of your stories?
No need to answer all these--just talk about your approach however you like. (:

#SFFChat Intro:
Good morning, everyone and happy new year! I thought it might be fun to save the beginnings for next week and talk instead about ends.
Introduce yourself & share an accomplishment from last year--big or small! Surviving is more than good enough!
