I read it if it’s there. I do like the feeling of a story being completely wrapped up, without anything dangling in the wind for me to imagine. I think I don’t want to have to imagine it because what if I do it wrong? What if I imagine it differently than it’s supposed to be? Kind of sounds paranoid, but there you have it.

I think the prologue is a bit more frowned upon than the epilogue. The only books that I can remember reading epilogues for are Romance books. And they always gave me that ‘extra’ happily-ever-after feeling. The story definitely could have ended without the epilogue.

In early stories I used to always write epilogues, but I’ve since grown out of them…I’ve come to see them more as a crutch rather than a necessary piece of the puzzle.

Though, somehow, they seem to carry more weight/significance than I expect of an ep.

It’s a wrap-up, but instead of a quick sketch, it is an oil painting.
