Oh god, the ending, and random comments about it, *still* tick me off. Behold the insanity:

I am *such* a bitter, obsessive, teal-deer-producing old bitch.

ETA: Whoops, posted this to the wrong journal. Ah well.

I have a problem with this myself. In general, with stories in which a character from our reality travels in time or to a parallel universe/ 'Other World", in most cases I dislike an ending which has him or her choose to stay there. Because, this journey to 'another world' symbolises a journey into your own inner self, and a failure to come back implies a failure to relate to other people and/ or reality. There are exceptions, where the choice of staying there is actually valid and more mature, but this has to be done responsibly, and is more difficult to pull of than the traditional plotline of the hero returning with a new and deeper knowledge of himself and the world. *And*, in my opinion, such an ending, by necessity, has to be 'bittersweet', because the character loses his or her original identity and social relations - and essentially 'dies', in a way.
