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'm not saying that's what Shaun did.

I'm saying that it looks to team like he did that, but with their particular biases, it all got out of proportion.

I don't think he did anything shitty at all.

With regard for the abuse, I get the feeling Dave kind off chose to be the punching bag, as I think I said to you in another comment. But you're right, it is a classic abusive relationshp pattern, which I should've acknowledged up front.

I'm having trouble trying to communicate what my thoughts are about the Shaun/Becks sitch and everybody's reactions to it. I may have to let that percolate before I try to type. Everything I type comes out not sounding like what I'm actually trying to say.

I know how that goes. It happens to me sometimes. I type it, and I look at it, and I delete it, and if it goes on long enough, I have to remind myself that I never sent any post on the subject.

I don't think you said to me that Dave chose to be the punching bag, but it's entirely possible you said it somewhere upstream. I read the whole 770+ comments before going to get dinner, and I'm sure I could have missed it. Heck, I missed that Shaun and Georgia were having sex.
