ecstaticAhem. From today's announcement at Publishers Weekly:
"Film rights: Mira Grant's trilogy, Feed, Deadline, and Blackout, optioned to Rachel Olschan, producer at Electric Entertainment, by Pouya Shahbazian of FinePrint, on behlf of Diana Fox at Fox Literary."
WE OPTIONED THE FILM RIGHTS TO FEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, this doesn't mean this will necessarily be a movie (although I hope there will), but it takes us a huge, huge step closer to that becoming a reality. Everyone I've dealt with has been amazing, supportive, and enthusiastic, and now there's a beautiful chance that maybe, we can see Shaun and Georgia Mason on the big screen.
How's that for a book-day present?
ETA: Belated comment amnesty, because you guys are awesomely enthusiastic, and wow will I never get to all these comments!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to buy Blackout, quietly enjoy the fact that I've met a published author who has an optioned book, and see how much fretting I can do while reading.
In other news: When the announcer at a sporting event tells the crowd to "Make some NOISE!" nobody seems to notice if one person is yelling, "CHEESE! AND! CAKE!" Also, basketball games make more sense if try to I think like an Aeslin mouse with a basketball fixation. I'm not sure if this says something about the mice, or about sports in general.

And since I sit in the bleachers and am generally surrounded by a number of Red Sox fans (at Safeco Field), I will have to explain this and will get them all to shout this. :D Maybe we can make it a trend.
