FIN!

Author’s Epilogue

This completes this episode of Costumed Chaos: Halloween Hijynx. Thank you so much for sticking with Paul/Vyki, Molly, and all the rest of the gang. Hopefully it was as enjoyable for you as it was for me to put it out there! Many of you were so gracious to send me notes, feedback, & praises and for that I am completely grateful for every one of them. I am especially indebted to those of you who allowed me to use your likeness and namesake in the universe; I truly love the interactions! I know there were also many of you who simply silently enjoyed it as well, and I am very glad you made it to the party as well. I look forward to you all enjoying the next round.

I know there were some re-used tropes from the genre, but I tried to be at least a little novel in the application. I was aiming to keep everything in the general realm of realistic possibility and hopefully not completely stretching reality.

When I got the inspiration to put this to ‘paper’, I realized there weren’t many (if any) stories based on a couple that somehow found a way to stick together and not completely alter or ruin their lives; this is fantasy after all. ;)

Also, this is a “Choose Your Own”... I know I haven’t made many alternate paths, I hope you can see where you could add your own if you didn’t like the way it went. I am still living it “Managed” at the moment, but that’s just to ensure no one goes totally off the rails, but I’m willing to let people make their paths their own.

Public Service Announcement

If you will grant me just a moment of reality, I’d like to take moment to remind those of you who somehow find yourself lacking or wanting because your life doesn’t live up to these ideals, please remember these are all our fantasies; no one is achieving them. Even this author who most people see in the “real world’ think they’ve got it together or living in paradise; it's not. No one has it perfect and nothing is ideal, but that’s okay. It's the bumps in life that can make it interesting. And when those bumps turn out to be mountains, look for a party and find a crossing.

If you find darkness and alone, please know you are loved, whether you realize it or not. Don’t let the loneliness consume.

This might sound trite, but I’m promise you it’s not easy, but I faith you can do it. If you need help, reach out for a lifeline:

Plans (this way be spoilers)

Also, while this episode is done, I have plans and ideas for this universe; there are lots undelivered punishments and lessons to cum. Many of these revolve around holidays, but here are a few that have plans already:

• Christmas Quandary - OUT NOW!

• New Year’s

• Valentine’s

• St. Patty’s

• Easter

• Renaissance Faire

• 4th of July

• Labor Day

• Guy Fawkes Night

• Thanksgiving

• Superbowl

• Spring Break

• and many more....

Some will be darker, some will encompass characters other than just the core set, but pretty much each main character has been introduced. I will try to keep this universe rather ‘real’, but I might push the limits occasionally.

I do have some ideas for other universes that might be at least more techno-magical if not outright magical, but those will fall outside this universe mostly.

Small ask

Finally, I ask this as just a bit of self-indulgence but by no means expected. If you enjoyed these 200+ chapters, consider maybe tossing a few coins my way for a soda or a smoothie; the encouragement helps. However, do NOT think I’m needing this for my livelihood; I’m doing just fine at the moment, so if you are not in a position, please take care of yourself first and know I’m just glad you enjoyed the story.

Vyksin on Ko-Fi

If you don’t feel like supporting me directly, that’s fine, but also consider supporting our host: CHYOA. They provide this platform and allow us creators to share our kinks and ideas without persecution or judgement; and they make it pretty easy, too. Thank you again to the CHYOA team!

And, lastly, did you know CHYOA also has Forums? There is lots of great discussions and topics out there; even occasionally ones about stories you might like. ;)

Thank you all again and enjoy your life & reading!!!
