Long PWP needs an ending--HELP

[ScarletFrost]

So I've been working on this PWP for...5 years. (Wow, I just counted that out!) Anyway, I only recently started posting it. The basic premice is that my main character, Sydney, buys 3 manslaves. Only one is really into the BDSM game. One is a dream-boyfriend-homebody type. And the third is just the patheically traumatized sort so that my MC can feel good about helping him.

If you want to read it, I've posted 5 chapters already. There's really no plot. It's just a constant narrative of their lives, exploring kinks and some of the challenges of having a really sexy lifestyle. And Sydney is also discovering herself, which makes for fun awkwardness.

Anyway, I need an ending. At least a place to write "and they lived happily ever after." I need a goal to finish this, or I'm going to end up with angry readers and an impossibly long story. Any ideas?

There's really no plot. It's just a constant narrative of their lives, exploring kinks and some of the challenges of having a really sexy lifestyle.

Plot is unnecessary in picaresque journal-type stories. I essentially have no plots in my ALAN, DEXTER and RON series, but they sail right along.

Anyway, I need an ending. At least a place to write "and they lived happily ever after." I need a goal to finish this, or I'm going to end up with angry readers and an impossibly long story. Any ideas?

Why end? Many an "impossibly long story" here gets good scores and comments. RON is a life story so it ends when he does; additions get inserted in the interstices or as spin-offs. But DEXTER could have many more miniseries adventures. I'm kind of tired of ALAN but who knows? I may be inspired...

OK, say you want to end it. But readers may demand continuation, or my may have future inspirations or obsessions or whatever. So end it, but with a happy-for-now rather than a happy-ever-after finale, like I did with LEFT BEHIND and THE BOOK OF RUTH: Here's where they are; more may happen, but it's not inevitable.

BTW what's PWP? People With Pets? Perverted White Puckers? I haven't run across this acronym yet.

EDIT: I just gargled PWP and got PLOT? WHAT PLOT? Makes sense to me.

If you don't have a plot, why do you need an ending? Just stop, Tony Soprano style. If people have already read five chapters with no discernible plot, they won't be expecting it all to be resolved in a neat little bow anyway.

All you need is a memorable last line. Something like "Isn't it pretty to think so?"

Why end?

I dunno. It just needs a goal for all the angst so that the story doesn't trail off into nothingness. Currently, my chapters are just the events of a single day.
