LATE ECLIPSES open thread. Have a party.

To celebrate the release of Late Eclipses [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy], here. Have an open thread to discuss the book.

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.

Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned.

You can also start a book discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence.

Have fun!

Also, can I say I love May's date to the ball?

I like to think it's evidence that May is really, really not Toby. They have different personalities, different powers, different taste in shirts and significant others... I think they're going to end up as each other's semi-adopted sisters, permanently allies and friends, but not two halves of one whole.

Actually...no.

I totally believe in bisexuality, being bisexual myself (and with a bisexual girlfriend), but I'm tired of the way bisexuals in fantasy always wind up with the opposite gender in the end. I know Toby's long-term relationship changes, and I'm not willing to have her be yet another bisexual woman who really wants a man.

I love how well-thought-out Toby and her world are.

There is no need, whatsoever, for guilt. Real people get to be whoever they want to be, and love whomever they love. Fictional people have to be a little less organic in some ways.

Fiction has to make sense.

Humanity rarely does. Especially when it comes to relationships.

Oh, I hear you. I'm bisexual and poly - and living with two men. I'd like another girlfriend in my life, it's been some time - but well, I'm a shy introvert and I'm no good at meeting women. Geek guys I know how to talk to. Love my guys so so much, very lucky woman, but sometimes a bit abashed on that front, yes.

Interesting. I'm also bi, but totally monogamous, and blissfully married to my husband. I periodically feel bad about this since it means a number of folks I interact with frequently don't know. I think that it really shouldn't be that important, and we should all just love who we love, but I recognize that as rather Pollyanna-ish

If you're a Pollyanna, so am I. I just don't want to be the author of another "boys are better" bisexual heroine.
