Because the vote is heavy toward ending NaNoWriMo 2006 on November 30 (2006!), and because the poll TBOL3 set up was promptly mangled by a.r.dobbs (sorry!), here's a new, pared down poll.
The question: one ending or alternate endings?

I'm not one of the writers, so don't know if I'm allowed to vote, but muliple endings has a taste of a computer game, to me.
My ideal would be that victorian way of ending, where you have an epilogue, giving an idea what happened to the lives of the main characters after the story proper ends.

(Or is that more closures?)

With multiple endings you could have a combonation of closures, and continueations...
