Everyone had been trying to reach her for the rest of the day, but they didn’t know her phone was still scattered on the floor while she was sitting on the bed, her leg folded against her as she hugged herself. Every now and then, she could hear Killian’s voice, and each time she thought back to what Whale had told her and she cursed herself more than the crazy bitches that had first harmed Killian.

This is perhaps one of my favourite writing topics. Personally, I always try to leave each chapter on a small cliffhanger. Something that makes the reader want to read on when it’s 1am and they know they should put the book down. To do this effectively you have to know the difference between cliffhangers that raise the stakes and cliffhangers for shock factor.
The Shock Factor Cliffhanger
We’ve all seen this before. The chapter/book is coming to end and in a last ditch attempt to keep you interested the writer adds a completely unrelated, highly shocking, plot disrupting event.
While the key to a keeping reader interested in a series is to leave them with questions, shock factor cliffhangers feel like a cheap trick that only leaves the reader unsatisfied.
Does this mean you should avoid shock factor cliffhangers? NO! Just don’t rely on it being the only thing that keeps your reader tethered to your story.
Take The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan, because that was a shock factor cliffhanger and half, but there were other stories left unfinished, other characters we were worried about, other questions we had that demanded answers. Which brings me onto the next kind of cliffhanger.
The Stake Raising Cliffhanger
A far more subtle form of cliffhanger (and the kind I try to leave at the end of almost every chapter) is one that raises the stakes of the story. It proves a point to each chapter, which helps you as the writer to decide which chapters are needed and which are not.
This can be anything, small or large. They find a key piece of information, realisation dawns on the protagonist, one of their friends are in danger, they are in danger, they discover something that puts the whole plot at risk, but save the big ones for your catalyst, your midpoint and your all is lost plot points.
The purpose of these cliffhangers if to leave your reader with unanswered questions, seeking answers they cannot wait till morning to discover, questions that will make them buy the next book!
What’s the conclusion here?
Cliffhangers are not about the shock factor, the drama factor, the danger factor. They are about one very simple thing. Questions.

Guys, we’re on ‘hellatus’. AGAIN! As in, no more SPN until January! And just as they left us on the worst cliffhanger! I mean, the mid season finale was absolutely legendary, I just wish there was more to it!
Now we have to wait for five weeks and six days to find out what that footprint thingy was (I’m betting on dinosaur), whether Jack will save Mary, and when Sam and Dean will get out of ‘the bad place’. I bet they won’t even show anything remotely related to Lucifer and Cas’ captivity until a few episodes in just to piss us off!
finished this one with a quick bang! big thanks to all who stuck around for this year’s yeehawgust draw here. rest assured, this ain’t the last of Daustin Westar. when’s he not in this kinda situation
Arthur knew that this was the quiet life Sadie had once, and lost, and now probably appreciated all the more for the years and the pain that had come in between. As he had told Sadie last year, they’d been many people in their lives. The thing now was that this was who they’d chosen to be, rather than the people the world seemed to have forced them into by taking away everything and everyone, and leaving only a relentless, automatic purpose to give each day any sort of direction.
He’d left his shack behind easily enough. She’d left bounty hunting behind easily enough. They’d ridden over the border from North Elizabeth and gotten married in Catawissa, where nobody knew Arthur Bowen and Sadie Griffith-soon-to-be-Bowen, or knew who they’d been two weeks before, let alone nine years. They’d treated themselves to a fine dinner and posh hotel for their wedding night, because given he planned to only marry once in his life, he damn well intended that to be an occasion fit to treasure. And for her, he wanted this new start to be a sweet one.
Then Mr. and Mrs. Bowen had headed northwest, determined to look back as little as they could, to move forward rather than in endless circles. They’d taken the summer and built this cabin up on Deer Ridge, hunted and fished and chopped firewood all to lay in stock for the winter. Made plans for next year, and beyond, in a way that he marveled at, in a way that Arthur Morgan hadn’t and Arthur Lewis couldn’t.
That easy partnership they’d had years ago and back near Mercy seemed to continue. The shells they’d put up of the saint hermit and the bounty hunter kept eroding, but strangely he had no fear of it. She was here, and she’d chosen to be with him, and likewise him for her. They had each other’s backs then, seen each other’s raw and vulnerable spots. He could trust her with his heart and soul just the same.
One thing was about to change, though. She was pregnant. Hadn’t said anything yet, but something in him knew, some part of him that understood even if he couldn’t fully put his finger on the changes. She’d wanted children, mourned the loss of the chance with Jake. As for him, well, he’d told her about Isaac and Eliza. They hadn’t exactly planned this, but they hadn’t exactly taken any measures against it either. And from the smiles he’d seen from her when she was lost in thought, he knew she was happy. So was he.
He closed his eyes sometimes and tried to fight against the fear that he would lose another child, or fail them as he would Isaac. That there would be something that he couldn’t fight against, and he’d come home again someday to find them dead too. Just the same as Sadie woke in the night sometimes with a gasp, clinging tightly to him, at the fear of men breaking into the cabin intent on doing violence.
But they’d get by, day by day, week by week. The bleak worry sometimes might hang them over the edge of a cliff, the abyss of the past yawning dark and horrible below them, but he believed she would always, always hold onto him with all her might to keep him from falling. How could he do any less for her? That it was a happiness aware of sorrow and the fear of loss didn’t mean it wasn’t a wonderful sort of happiness all the same. How long had it been since he’d actually felt the spark of joy and anticipation within him? So long he couldn’t even recall directly. But here it was all the same. They weren’t too old or too damaged to have that for their own, and that notion never failed to make him grateful for it.
For now, he had time to come to terms with the mingled joy and grief. Whatever feelings she was having about lost chances with Jake and lost years, he would give her that time too. She would tell him when she was ready. And then they’d look forward to their son or daughter together.
/ PENTAGON FANFICTION COMMENTARY BY CHEESE PIZZA /
There is this one fanfiction where Shinwon, Hui, and Jinho are a thing ( technically not yet a thing). And the last update was on 22nd Jan 2021. It’s literally a huge cliffhanger. And from the past two months, all I do is go to ao3 to see if it’s updated, feel sad for a second because it not and move on with life.
Y'all it’s Friday and I gotta go. Peaches got her hair did in a Marcel curl updo and I’ve got on my cha cha heals and my kiehls Creme de corps moisturizer and I am outta here #getout #laterhater #chachaheels #shrimpcocktail #cliffhanger #hereicomecuba #bailamor #buymemore #buyfelicia ✈️
