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!

Honestly, I don't squick much, but incest is the one that's about nine miles wide for me, whether actual siblings or just raised that way, and this... didn't trigger it too badly. And I kept reading. Which, in itself, is weird for me - and I think it says a lot about the quality of your writing.

I never felt they were actually having sex, though; more just part of an absolute, loving codependence. Does that make sense?

Same here. Honestly, when reading FEED, I read Georgia as asexual who got her emotional needs met by Shaun, and Shaun as het, but not interested in anyone for more than a physical relationship, because he had Georgia*. So it was pretty easy to read them as emotionally involved with one another, because they grew up knowing that the other one had their back in ways that their adoptive parents didn't.

* Even then, it took a bit into Shaun and Becks' interaction to confirm Shaun's interest in Georgia was reciprocated, because I really did ping George as ace. Granted, even if she was asexual, Shaun may well have been a special case, since he's Shaun.

Hee.

That's awesome.
That's sort of my take. Shaun could move on. She never would have. He was it, for her.
