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!

Hmm, I had missed it right up to this thread (no, Shaun using her name didn't clue me in either, I just assumed that Georgia was the closest to him emotionally and he was reacting to Becks as an emotional equivalent). But then Shaun seems to be about the same level of Aspergers as I am in many ways, especially the puzzlement at the reactions of others.

Is it plot-relevant? Not to me, I see plenty of emotional attachments which are stronger than sexual ones, what people do with the plumbing is pretty irrelevant as far as I'm concerned (unless they are wanting to do it with me). The emotional bond between them was the important one as far as I'm concerned.

(Not that it bothers me, I picked up my views on incest from Heinlein, that if there is no danger of genetic problems then there's no harm, and outside that it's no one's business other than the participants.)

Me too! The thought that they were romantically involved had crossed my mind, but I rejected it. Then a friend said, "uhh, no," and I immediately came over to this thread to gape at the answers.

You will probably be pleased to hear that my reaction, after digging through this comment thread, was, "I've got to IMMEDIATELY reread both Feed and Deadline."

SAME to both!

I assumed my Shaun/Georgia theory was just my constantly-shipping brain. AHAHAHAHA I HAVE PROOF NOW AHAHAHAHA.

*clears throat* Sorry, I'm just not used to my 'ships being confirmed. I'm just going to go quietly re-read.
