This file is a compilation of scraps, scripts, and notes that would have shaped the ending of the Zistopia AU fan comic.
It includes some suggestions and commentary by @humanityinahandbag, who was kind enough to look certain parts over for me while I revised it in 2017, at a point when I had hoped to try starting it back up.
It’s been several years since we had to go on hiatus. I can not kid myself anymore about ever going back to finishing it. I have responsibilities and a life that the internet is not entitled to interfering with.
I know that any choice to hand this project off to someone else is just going lead to more stress on my part, and I know that ending this here and now is the only option that will give me peace of mind. So I wanted to say a few things before that.
What I have below is the bare skeleton of an ending, that is soon to belong to everyone to reads it.
If you already wrote yourself an ending in your head, then reading this version of the ending might upset you. That version can belong only to you, much like this version of the story can belong only to me. If you desire to put flesh on the skeleton I’ve provided, do this as the purest vision of your own. Don’t make it a project. Don’t market it as “THE LOST ENDING OF ZISTOPIA†or some sensational opportunistic bullshit. Especially if you’re desiring to socially capitalize off of it through the fandom. Nobody’s version of this is better than anyone else’s. If anyone claims I authorized their project, they are lying, and if they try to dominate the reinterpretation of this narrative, they can get fucked. If you are a solo artist who wants to use an excerpt of the dialogue and situations provided here to practice your storytelling, you have my blessing. This is the last time I log into this account. If you want to continue following my work, you can follow me at @artwitt. I deleted my main blog.
I want to thank everyone who helped me tell this story, all of whom were credited during its run.
