practicing this writing nonsense
After that little dissertation on theme and payoff, I finally buckled down to figuring out why I just *couldn't* write the ending to Backlash Girls. I had to talk it out with myself I guess.
Been dilly-dallying for weeks now.
I started trying to write a new synopsis, which has the effect of drawing out the thematic elements for me, and also skimming over some of the scenes toward the beginning. These actual activities did not help, but having taken out the wireless card in my computer so I couldn't turn to the distraction of the Internet left space between the two have the answer occur to me.
I had been planning an action sequence as the final flourish.
This story has had a certain amount of action, because it IS a superhero story, and I'll still go ahead with the scene, but that's not the end.

Because the core of the story is much more about the heroine learning to make herself wonderful, to master being something her abilities have made her.
The answer is obvious, when I sat and thought about it. Something I should be doing more often, obviously...
It's the media response she has to conquer, not the actual attack from the people who would kidnap her. Which will be harder to make satisfying, but more interesting to me...
