* Wildbow, the author of ''Literature/{{Pact}}'' and ''Literature/{{Worm}}'', is especially fond of these - he subscribes to the belief that continued tension is necessary to keep readers following his work, which is published in serial format, so he will more often than not end a chapter on a cliffhanger of some sort, including the introduction of a new enemy, a sudden turn of fortunes for the protagonists, or when all else fails, mysterious hinting at an UnspokenPlanGuarantee. He has, on occasion, ended a chapter ''mid-sentence.''
