The End Is Never The End; A Stanley Parable Story (Now with Ultra Deluxe!)

Summary:

This is the story of a man named Stanley. And a man known as The Narrator. And a creature known as [REDACTED].

They will live, and they will die.

They will be friends, and they will be enemies.

They will have hope, and they will get their dreams crushed.

They will reach freedom, and they will be trapped forever.

The question is, who’s *really* in control?

Chapter 1: Author’s Notes

Chapter Text

Hello everybody!

There’s a few things I wanted to cover before we start the story! ^^

 

So first off, this is my first online-published fanfic! I’m so excited to share this with you guys! But, I would appreciate it if y’all kept any negative comments to yourselves. Other than constructive criticism, of course!

Secondly, I want to talk about my posting schedule. I’m going to post the first three chapters (or “endings”) today, since they make up the original version. Then, I’ll post a new chapter weekly for the Ultra Deluxe version of the story, which adds a lot more content. However, I only have so many chapters written already, so my schedule might end up getting a little shaky. 😅

And last but not least, I want to talk a little about the backstory of me writing this! You guys can skip to the next chapter now if you don’t want to read about it though. 

So when I was in 8th grade, I got an assignment in my English class to write our own short stories. I asked if I could do one based off of a game, and the teacher said I could! So I spent quite a while researching on the Stanley Parable fandom wiki (Go here to check it out! It’s actually really cool!), and put together a short story called The End Is Never The End; A Stanley Parable Story (or TEINTE). I got a perfect grade on that assignment! 

A few years later, and I’m now in my sophomore year of high school. I was going back through my Google Docs when I found TEINTE again. I read through it, and it seemed like it had potential for a full, multi-chapter fic! And so I decided to start working on it again! Now, there’s 11 chapters written with a 12th in progress! It’s come so far!

 

Well, that’s all for me folks. And so, I hope y’all have a great day! Bye!
