I'm SO sorry about taking forever to update! :(

And since it took me so long, I've decided...it's time to end this fic.

I know, I know, I said I'd make it, like, ten chapters longer.

But I can't.

I could put it on hiatus...

But I don't want to do that, not really, because it would be like a trade-off, since I just took IMing off hiatus.

So I'm ending it.

Once and for all.

I could try and continue it.

Really, I could.

But after not being able to to write a single chapter in SIX months?

I couldn't.

I really, really couldn't.

It would just be "trying", and the trying wouldn't be near good enough.

I really did think about this decision, and think about it a lot.

But I can't continue it.

And since I already had some of the ending written...I'm ending it, instead of just leaving it hanging.

The chapter that was originally going to be this chapter? Yeah, the one that all of the leak quotes my besties have been getting?

Chances are slim that will ever see the light of your computer screen.

It's buried deep in my harddrive. I might do a contest or something someday, and someone might get the entire chapter... I don't know.

I do know I will probably never be able to end that chapter.

I don't know why. I just...couldn't make it work, y'know?

Or maybe that chapter just hated me.

I don't know.

I really, really don't.

I'm also sorry this chapter's so short. It's what I had written for the ending...I just can't make it longer.

I could try, if I wanted to, but it just wouldn't feel right.

Y'know?

And I know I said I was going to make the last chapter 10,000 words long.

I really, really wanted to make it that long.

And I still do.

But I can't.

I don't know, maybe...maybe sometime in the future, I can write that 10,000 word chapter.

I could remove this chapter, post that, and then post this chapter as an epilogue.

And I could include the thing about Nudge being dangled by her designer jeans over a flaming pit of alligators, because I never even mentioned that in the story, just in the thingamajig.

I could also have them go to the "dreaded Quidditch field", because, again, that was mentioned in the thingamajig, but not the story.

But right now?

I can't.

So I leave you with this short chapter.

I'm sorry.

On a brighter note, St. Fang of Boredom (OMG YES THAT ST. FANG OF BOREDOM!!!!1111!!eleven!!!!) FAVED this story.

Wow.

That's...

Epic.

And now, for the final chapter of Matter over Mind...

I blinked, and suddenly realized how totally insane my life was. Green and purple hair? A fight with multicolored fruit? Five people named John, one of them a girl? A funeral for a decapitated marionette? A foodfight at Wal-Mart? A teleportation device gone haywire? A giant Jeb dartboard? ACPLNCAAWMIFDISISMAM? A McDonald's that grows cherries on its roof? The McNational Mall of the Steaks of Americanian Canadia? A millipede growing farm? A twig mentoring station? Some guy named Yuki? Pink elephants? Raining gumballs? Da Llama Show? At first, I'd thought this was all just really random, but...

"THIS IS TOTALLY INSANE!" I yelled. "WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH US!? WE'VE GONE CRAZY!"

Everyone, excluding Attalia, suddenly realized that I was right, this was crazy. We all looked at each other, with similar WTF!? expressions on all our our faces. Then everything went black...

...and I sat up in bed. "Wha..." Then I realized something. "It was all a dream..." I whispered. Everything that had happened, from going swimming at the pool, to having that pre-Thanksgiving dinner, had all been a dream. I couldn't believe it, but what other explanation was there?

I'd finally realized that my life had become insane, and then I woke up. It almost made sense. Almost.

That's when things got weird.

Way back when I started this fic, I'd been planning on making this an infinite FF, like Nutty. But, one day, I realized it needed an ending. So I wrote this. I feel like...well, I feel like it works.

Do you guys like the ending? It kind of encompasses the entire "Nothing Is Sane" theme. It also expresses Max's insanity.

Yes, if you didn't realize it (which you probably didn't, because I don't think anyone did), this was based around Max's insanity.

And I don't mean my type of insanity, either. I mean schizophrenia, real schizophrenia.

If you guys want, I might write a currently untitled sequel. It'd have a slightly... different approach than this fanfic.

In other words, it wouldn't be random. At all. It would be completely serious... it would, for lack of a better word, explore Max's insanity, and the attempt's to cure her. It'd be depressing, to say the least, and completely different from this fanfic.

It would also be angsty, really angsty, and I know it'd have some horror, too.

So, do you guys want a sequel? Or do you think that this is a good ending to it? Because, if I do the sequel, it would get rid of the happiness vibe. Completely destroy it.

Sudden subject change alert, but I would like to thank all of my readers who stuck through to the end. Can you believe I got 574 hits for this story!? Wow. I expected way less than that, heh. Also, I would like to thank my reviewers:

Thank you all so, so much! (:

And what do you guys say on the uberdepressing sequel? Yes? No? (Poll on my profile.)

Also, if you want more details on what the sequel would be about, PM me, and I'll tell you as much as I'm willing to reveal.

Oh, and one last thing:

Way back when, long before I'd decided to ditch the chapter, Nat (Natvv) wrote the next epii of Da Llama Show, for the chapter that this was originally going to be.

So that epii doesn't go to waste...

Her lines are longer than mine normally are, heh, and I did edit it...but most of that, Nat wrote.

Wow, these A/Ns are ridiculously longer than the chapter. Heh.

So, um, yeah.

That's all.

R&R?
