I'm feeling it right now, actually. Just read the last Wheel of Time book and I feel kind of empty. I'm happy that things turned out certain ways, but it's also kind of.. depressing. No more books to look forward to, no more adventures with my favorite characters (those who survived, at least ;_; ), no more hoping for the horrible fucktards to get what they deserve...
But yeah, I get this way with the endings of most books, shows, and games that I get really into. It's great because you finally get to know what happens to everyone, all the questions answered, no more loose threads, but it's also over and done with. It's such a bittersweet sensation.

Absolutely. Every time I read the Pendragon books I feel a bit like Im "coming home." All the places and characters are so familiar and welcoming. When I finish the last book, I feel really alone. Like I'm thrown back into the real world and I hate it.
Pendragon is the big one, but I get the feeling a little bit everytime I finish a series. I'm sure I'll feel that way after I finish Dark Tower. I also get that feeling after a play that I am in ends.
Haven't you heard?
Spartans never die.
Mortal Engines was probably the worst for this when I read it. I don't get it so much anymore but after The Millenium Trilogy I moped for a few days, especially because there are the approximations of two more books out there which no-one seems to plan on publishing.
As far as books go, i can't think of very many books that have had that affect on me. The book "Unbroken" sort of had that affect on me...I havn't finished the Wheel of Time series yet, but i'm pretty sure i'm going to be depressed when it ends. As far as game's go, Final Fantasy X depressed me when it was over. Primarily because i didn't see the scene after the credits. Altough i don't like most Anime's, one time i watched a show called "Clannad After Story" and that one made me sad too when it ended.
