What love story ending is most appealing? ?

Question

is it the happily ever after or the tragic ending like one or both lovers died?

Answer 1

I can't help it. I need a happy ending. I need to know things will be okay. that doesn't mean they have to be together but to know they know everything is for the best. Like for me Romeo and Juliet was okay because they were still together in the end.

Happy, definitely.  

Answer 2

beauty and the beast....

Answer 3

It depends on your mood. When you WANT to cry and be mopey, the death one. In most cases, I find, people want the couple to live happily ever after.

Answer 4

It depends on what you can write. You should write what you feel, what you want to write, not what other people want you to write. There are amazing love stories with either type of ending, but there are terrible ones of both as well. You need to pick what you can write well, because the point is  to write a good quality story that people will want to read. If you don't write what you want, your attempt will seem forced and it will ruin the joy of reading it. It may sound like a cliche but listen to your heart, in this situation it will not let you down!

Answer 5

I tend to lean toward the happy ending ( i realize the cliche but when I get to the end and its an unhappy ending, I'm like "I read the whole book for this?!"

However, happy or unhappy, I want an ending that answers everything. It's really annoying when a book winds down and they answer all the questions and solve all the problems... but one or two - like they forgot about them. That's annoying.

Answer 6

Neither. They're both terribly cliché.

I just like endings on stories I read, ones that nicely round things up but aren't necessarily happy or sad.

Answer 7

'And they lived happily ever after...'

Answer 8

All the Jerry Springer love stories come to mind.
