PARASITE open thread!

To (somewhat belatedly) celebrate the release of Parasite, 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. (I will not reply to every comment; I call partial comment amnesty. But I may well join some of the discussion, or answer questions or whatnot.)

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, since I always wind up getting involved in these things.

Have fun!

For me, the "big reveal" wasn't about Sal at all. I was more suprised by Sherman.

Also, Tansy reminded me of Foxy from the Newsflesh books. Was she modelled on the same RL person? (Admittedly, when I read the name "Tansy", my immediate first thought was of Tansy Rayner Roberts, so in my headcanon she's got an Australian accent...)

I've also got to say that I love, love, LOVE the fact that your characters are so diverse! :D

Tansy and Foxy share similar headspaces for me, though different head-voices. Foxy is more like Pinkie Pie, but Tansy is more like Harley Quinn or Tiny Tina from Borderlands 2 (my girlfriend keeps hearing Tina's voice, at least. She's not read Newsflesh yet, but I will be curious as to what she thinks of Foxy when she does)

Sherman was a surprise. And makes sense why he kept flirting with her - they were of a kind, more or less.
