I don't want to make specific demands because THAT is what ruins artistic integrity. Constructive criticism is fine, and changing things because of criticism is fine, but catering to specifics that I demand is pandering and selling out.
It's up to Bioware as artists to look at the feedback, realize the current ending is broken, and redo it to make it better, and I don't want to know anything about how it goes. I want to be surprised.
Everyone, what is your desired ending?

1st Playthrough Destroy Reapers guiding intelligence, reapers lose shields, nuke the reapers from orbit, Shepard gets medical attention, Shepard survives and tries to see what a Turian-Human baby looks like, also adopts Krogan orphans.
2nd Play. Convenience Starbrat that its solution was stupid from the start, have star brat send Reapers into nearest blackholes/stars, Shepard seeks and receives medical attention, survives builds Tali a house.

I've posted this before but...
After Shepard & Anderson have the extended version of their final talk we go to a cutscene, the crucible starts to activate, the reapers all head for it, Hacket orders all ships to protect it so we start seeing our military assets come into play, Volus bombers, Quarian and Geth ships taking out a reaper together, the Destiny Ascension, if you have the spacer background, Shepard's mother in command of a ship, Miranda's fighters.
Intermixed would be scenes showing the battle continuing to rage on the ground – Jack & her students raining down biotic artillery (or holding up biotic barriers to prtoect a squad of Salarians while Major Kirrahe shouts " Hold the line"), Wrex & Grunt alongside Rachni warriors in the thick of melee battle letting out a yell of "WE ARE KROGAN!", Garrus in cover picking off husks with his sniper rifle , the last scene being your two squadmates who were with you in the final battle, back to back against a damaged vehicle desperately trying to hold off a wave of husks.
Now comes your ending outcome.
Really low EMS - you don't have enough, the crucible is destroyed, reapers win and the next scene is an alien thousands of years from now discovering Liara's message.
Low EMS - badly damaged crucible misfires destroying all reapers but also the citadel and mass relays
Middling - damaged crucible fires, kills reapers, doesn't destroy mass relays but explodes and destroys citadel and Shepard, memorial service for Shepard
High - crucible fires, destroys reapers and nothing else, Shepard passes out after watching his/her success. Scene of his/her funeral.
Really high (3500+) - crucible fires, destroys reapers and nothing else, Shepard passes out after watching his/her success, scene of Anderson's funeral with a wounded Shepard in attendance, inspiring speech by Shepard about Galactic unity and new hope for the future. Maybe a question from Diana Allers about what Shepard plans to do now and you can choose answers like rebuild, return to the military, retire.
After whichever outcome (apart from the worst) we get epilogues for the people and worlds that we touched. If you got the best ending a final scene of Shepard with his/her LI -
With Liara and their little blue children
Building a house with Tali on Rannoch
Sitting on a beach drinking a beer with Garrus
etc.
And no multiplayer required for best ending.

Crucible weakens the Reapers and turns the tide in the space battle above earth.
Sheperd uses the beam to return to earth and face Harbinger, Awesome dialogue between Harby and Sheperd ensues culminating in epic boss battle. (Sheperd lives or dies after defeating Harby based on EMS, Damage to earth same basis).
End sequence showing the consequences i.e Epic funeral for Sheperd or awesome celebration depending.
Scenes showing consequences of major plot points (Geth & Quarians, Genophage ect...)
Final scene with all surviving crewmates and LI.
Job done.

As many Shepards as I have my preferred endings are very wide. Suffice to say any possible outcome, live or die, marriage or breakup, success or (in one of my favorite Shepard's case) the cycle continues at his discretion because he's that angry at the galaxy. As much as possible.
Edit: I think it would be awesome to be able to be face to face with a reaper and at the last minute just sorta say "yeah... go ahead... forget I said anything." That would be awesome.

Only the Reapers are destroyed, the relays and all other artificial life are ok. Joker and the Normandy are still above Earth with all the other galaxy fleets. Liara and some of the crew recover a severely injured Shepard. They take him to a former Cerberus base where Miranda and a group of scientist work on him in earnest. After six months, Liara delivers a still recovering Shepard to Rannoch and a very pregnant Tali. The wounded warrior steps off the shuttle with the help of a cane and into the arms of his love. The galaxy begins to rebuild itself one new life at a time. Keelah se'lai

Reapers get owned. The cycle ends. EDI and Geth all survive.
Shepard builds a house on Rannoch with Mrs Vas Normandy.
I think one team member meaningful sacraficing themselves in the end would be cool as well, (Any ME1 character) just to get all emotional about it ya know

Pretty much Return of the King in space. Except with Frodo and Aragorn being the same person: Shepard.

I wanted to see snippets of the people of the galaxy rebuilding, maybe even making a new "Citadel" using their combined know-how. I wanted to see a village on Rannoch and little blue children playing around a statue, possibly with little Krogans pointing guns made from sticks.

Does anyone have that drawing of the Asari baby in Shep's hoodie with the dogtags hanging down?
Cause that is my ending right there.

Currently there are 16 endings in ME3, however there are only 3main endings. What would you want to happen that would qualify as one of the other 13 endings? (L/D) means Live/Die
_______________________________________________________________________________________
[1]-Control Ending (D)
[2]-Destroy Ending (L?/D)
[3]-Synthesis Ending (D)
[4]-Reapers Shut Down (L/D)
I was so motivated, I wrote these endings:
[1]-Sheppard Deploys the Crucible (L)
[2]-Anderson Deploys the Crucible (L)
[3]-The Fleets Win by a Brute Force Victory (L)
[4]-Sheppard Dies (D)

Alternate final sequence. Everyone gets guns that fire Thresher Maws. Harbinger utters his only line it the game- "Thresher Maw Guns? Run Away!". Then for some reason everyone in the galaxy is Hanar.
The previous was a Joke. But then so was Chrono Triggers frog ending. That's the bueaty of actually different multiple endings.

When I was facing my choices, the first thought that came to mind was none of these options are what I fought for and I really didn't want to take any of the endings (but I chose Destroy as it was the closest option to what I wanted to achieve).
I fought to shut down the reapers as a galaxy united so we could all rebuild (with Shepard surviving). People will call that the lovey dovey disney happy ending but thats what I was fighting for. What annoys me is when games have to have a 'bittersweet' ending for the sake of trying to pull at heart strings or a 'twist'. The twist ending has been done so many times that it's now the norm and boring. I fought against the odds and won many times, I don't see how having us win the ultimate battle and surviving as a bad ending.

-I wanted to make it to earth and see my allies take down Harbinger.
-Having the good bye talks were great and better than I expected.
-Crucible severely cripples Reaper Fleet
-Combined forces are now able to fight on even ground with Reapers (or have the advantage, not to picky about it)
- Shepard could live or die (OPTIONS!!) and retire with LI

Star Wars Return of The Jedi ending
I want my Shepard, his surviving friends, allies, love interest and the massive fleets of a new united galaxy to celebrate their freedom from the reaper threat. Why can't bioware just keep it as simple as that we don't need that deep thought evolution, human, synthetic crap just have Shepard lead the forces of the galaxy into one last showdown with the reapers and wipe those (bad word) out.THE FREAKIN END, NO MASS EFFECT 4 NO MASS EFFECT PREQUELS NO NO NO PLEASE NO AND ESPECIALLY NO MMO WE HAVE ENOUGH OF THOSE ANYWAY GEES!!!!

This would never happen it would mean so much more programing, art, voice acting... so much mo money as they say... but it would have been nice... So I spent all this time and effort gathering war assets (which mean nothing btw) I would have liked to use them after all the root of Commander is command I would have liked to see a battle not some little turkey shoot... I would have loved to see Shep maybe tell that starbrat where to shove his choices called for Joker (who did not wuss out) to come get me and fought with all those who would rather die fighting for their lives, their freedom, their people and homes and way of life or succeed if I had been a good commander and as Sumara had said used my forces wisely, took account of their strength and weakness , for example ground forces, shock troupers and Elkor living tanks, Volus Bombers, Biotic supports Turian and Asari fighter squadrons it would have been the most amazing thing it would have been beautiful. Glorious even...
And if I had done these things efficiently enough, R. Shepard my red headed, green eyed, Spacer, war hero, paragon would have survived... and you'd see Garrus and her in lawn chairs on a some tropical planet or even helping Tali build her house together a little Krogan baby playing with Aunt Liara or something... I don't know it doesn't have to be huge... just something kinda... nice..
If I hadn't exploded the collector base, or saved the council or most of my squad had not survived, there could be varying degrees of fail, if most of these things were true not only could Shep die, but the battle could be lost, Sol and the rest of the Galaxy doomed... if one or not that many things were true Shep could win the day, at the cost of his life.... maybe a funeral, maybe some kind of monument, flashes of what the squad are doing now, something...

Relays have a chance of staying intact somehow and Shepard and crew can survive somehow (without having to resort to killing off an entire species or two <.<). Don't care about the details.

Or them getting turned to reapers themselves like we saw with the Asari... that would be terrible but... better then waht we got and a consequence to bad choices I like it.... but don't... you know what I mean
