If someone else had been the first to die?
I have written an alternate ending to Feed, picking up at what was originally chapter twenty-five. It's called Fed, and I'm very pleased with it, in part because it shows that no, the original ending wasn't the worst possible outcome. This was.
Fed is kindly being hosted by Orbit, thus preventing me from becoming a blibbering mess in the week leading up to the release of Blackout, and for right now, you can download and read by liking the Facebook page they've set up specifically for this purpose. (It's getting a one-week Facebook exclusive for marketing purposes, and I surely would appreciate it if you went and hit the "like" button.) This is full of spoilers, so I recommend against reading it if you haven't read Feed.
Rise up while you can.

I like the real ending better. I never thought I'd say that.

I was afraid you were going to do something like a reversal of the ending of FEED, and incorporate part of the important thing revealed about Shaun and Kellis-Amberlee. I'm glad you didn't, though; it would have been far too Romeo and Juliet.
Still, ouch.
And the Masons suing the site for the cost of Georgia? Yet another demonstration of their pettiness. Wow.

Either way, well done. I like the real ending better. I never thought I'd say that.
