Crack can work sometimes, but only if it's used sparingly or ALL THE TIME (the crack!manga Bo-bo-bo comes to mind for the latter)
And I am a totally HEA-addict. I can handle a mediocre happy ending much better than a good sad ending.
YES. It can be the most moving, significant, literature ending but I'm still in desperate need of some warm fuzzies.
As far as an example for number five, the first one that comes to mind is the New Jedi Order series. It has its flaws (oh GOD does it have its flaws, mainly due to the fact that it was written by several authors and it's very rare that they can agree on characterization) but it creates a HUGE cast of varied characters, each of them having their own role of importance in aiding a war against invaders, and the plots often overlap and connect and at times it is the most skillfully handled storytelling I've ever seen. /could gush about Star Wars forever.
