Happy or Sad?

I'm working on a story that could equally go either direction. Pick your poison!

Picked Happy. but only if there's some angst before the ending, to make the happy ending sweeter.

While I like happy endings I think it's more challenging and unique to write tragedy. Good tragic endings are pretty rare actually, now that I think about it. Emphasis on the word good :D

Happy is what a lot of people need right now.

Depends on what the story is, I will say that a tragic ending if written well can be way better than a happyo ne, since in real life how many happy enddis are there? ("There are no happy endings, because nothing ever ends") Write a happy ending AND a sad ending. :)
