NFE home stretch?

So, I basically feel like I'm done. Although I can always do more tweaking and fine-tuning, I have a solid draft, 5000 words, I'm pretty happy with it, it does what I need/want it to, etc. 

But...

(You knew there was a "but," right?)

But I don't have an ending. I feel like I'm done, but I don't have an ending that will satisfy anybody else. The only way I can think of to end it is to write a lot more that won't really add anything, just to get it to a point where I can hook it back up to the main canon story arc. Bleah.

I'll figure out something. It's just frustrating because I'm just SO CLOSE.

Me too.

I've been thinking about how I jumped into writing fanfic with no plans and no expectations and no method whatsoever, because I didn't feel like I had to take it seriously because, well, it was fanfic. And then of course I realized that it was worth trying to do it well, and therefore I had to take it seriously if I was going to do it at all. And it was all downhill (or, depending on your perspective, uphill) from there!
