No, I believe both of those. One in the service of your work, one because I think you know every story that's been written down, nearly, which is why I've got to keep inventing new ones to tell you and continue to be unable t' write 'em down.

What I don't believe is that the ending was unlikely. 'Cos it seems likely, as an ending. Not with you as its star, that's not a requirement, just in general.
