Okay, so what is with all the epilogues in the Big Bangs this year? In a couple I've seen they tend to start a second after the last part ended and don't actually round any of the story up. They're not stylistically different from the rest of the piece either.

Is there a point besides the author trying to be "literary" or something? Which I find ironic because most of the agents and publishing sites I've been looking at seem to gag at the mere sight of a prologue or epilogue.

I don't have enough time or desire to read everything posted. Seeing 1) twice as many LJ posts as necessary for the word count and/or 2) an epilogue makes me awful leary and more likely to pass on reading a story. That's just my two cents though, and I'm sure that other people feel the exact opposite. I just wondered what other people thought about it.

I'm going back to my big bang as quick as I finish up my remix assignment today. I'm kinda looking forward to it being over.

No, I definitely get where you're coming from. I can think of a handful of fics... maybe - where it works. For the most part, it's done poorly.
