The End... Please?

Sometimes, a story, no matter how good and how much we want the story to continue, just needs to end. It's another reason I don't like WIPs - just when you think a story is about to draw to a close, wrap everything up, leave you satisfied with the plot and everything that happened... the story keeps going, and going, and going and you're knee deep in scene after scene of torture and someone's obsession with the chest and abdominal region :P

Thus killing my enjoyment of the story until said story is dead to me.

I like whump, but not whump for the sake of whump, especially not torture for the sake of torture. Stories that drag also make me nervous since you never know the directions they might take. Case in point was the story that led to this post. It was going strong, had a perfect place to stop, then took a big old whopping turn into lots of squicky torture (yes, it squicked even me) and, suddenly, I was skipping to the end because I wanted the story over all ready. And I have no desire to read this story ever again.

Sometimes reading fanfic, as enjoyable as it is, can also be scary :P But I suppose that can be said about anything we read ;)

ETA: The story in question was from another fandom, not SGA.
