DEADLINE open thread. Have a party.

To celebrate the release of Deadline [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. I will probably answer a great many comments. I may not answer all of them.

Have fun!

I've been searing at you since page 83 of the Nook version of the eBook. Some of that has been in my head, some has been out loud, and some of it has been over twitter.

But you know I loves you!

And the sneak peek at Blackout? Why must you make the wait that much harder!!!!!!!!

Some day, you and I are going to have to break all the rules, go out to a nice dinner, and talk about disease all night. It will be glorious, and disturbing, and it won't be over until they kick us out!

I actually didn't want to include the sample chapter; I wanted to leave you with that last line for a year. Orbit thought I might get death threats.

Orbit might have been right. It's likely going to be easier to live with the next year with "How long have I been a clone?" rather than "My name is Georgia Mason, and what the fuck is going on?"

You're still getting death glares from two states away. But they are less potent death glares. By a little bit.

Also, finishing the book before all my friends? GAHHH!!!! But it's fun to guess where they are by the potency of the curses coming in to me via text messages. I'm usually right. A friend just got to "She would have gotten better" and finally started to curse you.

Nobody in my house has read it yet and my husband won't right now. That's "AUGH!" enough on its own!

I was never a Whedonite. It was originally "Chris, you BASTARD" in our house (I was a hard-core X-Phile). Then we started watching Babylon 5, and it became "Joe, you BASTARD."

I will not be surprised to hear "Seanan, you BASTARD" once gridlore catches up on his reading. ;-)

Hee. Possibly. Not from this reader, though - I'd already figured out the clone part by the end of Deadline proper, before I read the Blackout snippet. But eeeeeee!
