As you've probably noticed, I have finally finished ALiCE (a good three years after I started it), but the story itself is far from over. The last chapter ends with a "To Be Continued" and that's exactly how it's going to be. The story of ALiCE is actually a four-part story, so if you finish this first part a little confused, don't worry. It's okay.
I did write the last 12 chapters all in one sitting, and without any real forethought beyond my own general idea of where the story would progress, so chances are, the ending and the chapters leading up to it feel a little odd. There are probably times in the story where you, the reader (as well as the characters you're reading about), have no idea what's going on. Chances are, I didn't know what was going on either while I was writing it. :-)
I tried to tie up as many loose ends as I could, but there are several parts of the story left unresolved - mostly because they are going to be further addressed in the sequels. (Other loose ends may be edited in their own way, in that I'm considering doing another draft or version of the story, but that might be after I get the sequels up here first.) So, in closing, I hope that the story is enjoyable, even if it is rather odd, and I hope that everyone is excited about what's going to happen to all these crazy characters next. I know I am.
