The world doesn't end for my characters, because that's not how superhero stories end. In the end, the superheroes *save* the world.
So after Nov. 30, my characters go on fighting Rikti and Tsoo and Banished Pantheon ... they'll continue responding when the world needs a hero, because that's what they've always done.
November 30 won't be any special day for my heroes... because *they* live in a world where, in the end, justice is always served.
Their world is always saved. Because they are superheroes. And that's what they do.
