Once Upon a Time is over.
It is strange to write that. While part of me knew that all TV shows come to an end, it still felt like Once would always be there. So it is strange to think that it won’t be back in September, that there will be no more set pictures or that I won’t be waiting excitedly for spoilers or hints about storylines.
As I said, I will continue recapping the show until the very end. And then I have to go back and finish recapping Season 6. And then I will go back to finish my recaps of Seasons 1, 2 and 3A. So I won’t be saying goodbye to Once Upon a Time so soon.
I know a lot of people are doing rewatches as well so I’m not alone.
The recaps of the last half of this season should come out over the summer, if all goes well. Then I can move into Season 6 in the fall—unless I discover a new show to recap. I doubt there will ever be another show like Once Upon a Time for me, but there will be new shows to watch.
Once Upon a Time will always hold a special place in my heart, especially the Outlaw Queen ship. I thank Sean, Lana and everyone involved with the show for the past seven years. It was truly magical. It brought me amazing new friends, a new found creativity, a wonderful and supportive community and inspired me to live my own dreams. I finally went to Paris because of Once, because I wanted to see my favorite cast members—especially Lana and Sean.
It’s also pushed me closer to realizing another dream—of being a published author. I’m working to turn some of my more popular fanfics into independently published novels. Then I can say I’m a published author. Wish me luck on that project!
So, yes, Once Upon a Time changed my life. It will take time to get used to it not being a regular presence but I know it will always be there—just as long as there are Oncers out there.
Long live us.
