And so it ends. Some of you may have recognized Sheila in the first chapter, and I really enjoyed the callback. This story was tough for me to be honest, because Worm is a fandom I got into through fanfiction, and I prefer the fanon sources pretty much exclusively.

I realized about halfway in that I didn't really know Worm well enough to support the story, and research didn't bridge as much of the gap as I'd have liked. A lot of my stories take place in YJ for that reason, I know the DCU really well and it gives me room to explore and stretch my legs without losing my way.

That said, my next story, Call of the Void (which will start posting tuesday), is set in Naruto, a universe with which I am exceptionally familiar, so I'm looking forward to having some fun with that. The story is based on the concept of an SI in Naruto realizing he can use the summoning jutsu to summon fictional characters and how he uses that to survive and thrive in the ninja world, and it's been a blast to write so far.

I hope some of you are excited to check it out, and that you enjoyed A Novel Approach. Secret Ending, of course, remains ongoing and is still picking up steam. I expect it to continue for quite some time.
