Deus ex Machina

I love reading. Even more than reading, I like stories, be it from movies or TV, even games. One of my favorite stories is the story from Tales of Symphonia, a video game. A good stoy doesnt neci-....nesi-.....necce-.....doesnt have to start out interesting to have a grand cressendo of an ending. Thats because, no matter how slow the beginning is, its the ending that ties the whole thing together. Look at The Widard of Oz, it even started out in sepia black-and-white, and its a world famous movie. This is because it had a good ending. Nothing kills a story faster than a bad ending. Deus ex Machina endings are the WORST. When you're reading a book, or whatever, and the story goes something like, "Ha-HA! WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN EPIC FIGHT SCENE! BUT, OH NO! WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF PAGES! AND EVERYONE LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER." Thats a Deus ex Machina style ending. If you ever decide to write a story that anyone else might read, DONT EVER DO THAT. EVER. Srsleh. Nothing good can ever come when you pull God out of Machine.
