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!

Total elapsed time to read Deadline (taking out the 4.5 hours I forced myself to sleep, the break for eating, the time I nearly threw the book across the room and had to put it down for about 10 minutes, and various other minor interruptions): About 6 hours. I think that's a record for me, for a book of this length and the amount of attention I gave it!

SHAUN. GEORGE. SHAUN. AUGH.

My girlfriend refused to read the Blackout teaser until I'd finished the book, so we sat shoulder-to-shoulder and read it together. It... yeah.

Orbit was probably right about the death threats. Even if mine would've been in jest and interspersed with "I LOVE YOU OH GOD WHYYYYY". I. I just. AUGH. I have to wait a WHOLE YEAR?

Shaun and George's relationship was both a surprise and not a surprise at all. When you find that in describing a relationship, you have to make caveats of "but not sexual or anything", that's kind of a big give-away, but I'm a bit thick sometimes. ^^;; Definitely not Newsie material, me. Personally, I find it perfectly fitting for them, and I'm both glad that you went there explicitly (rather than trying to make it disappear in subtext and keep it from being plot-important) and that Orbit LET you go there explicitly.

I am going to end up creating so many epileptic tree theories in the next year... DAMN YOU, SEANAN! *fistshake*
