It's hella early.
I just want to make it clear that I'm seriously, seriously chuffed that you guys seem to like Telegraph Avenue so much. It means a lot to me, and the next chapter will be up soon. Theoretically. But before we go any further I think I need to point a few things out which I thought were pretty obvious from the get go:
1. Jamie is not a mass murderer in hiding.
He is not an abuser, a dominatrix, or somebody who gets off on seeing Seth hurt. He's just a guy, for better or worse. He is *not* responsible for Seth being where he is. If you're thinking this, or hoping this, perhaps you need to read a different story.
2. Harassing my betas for spoilers is not cool by me.
Again, I'm really touched that you guys are enjoying the story so much and I appreciate the enthusiasm, but dude, no. That’s just wrong. They may find it amusing it, but they’re doing *me* a favor, don’t make them regret that.
ETA: Apparently I got the wrong end of the stick, so my apologies for that, but the same rules still apply overall:
Enthusiasm = Good. Brilliant. Amazing. Harassment = bad.
Nobody likes being harassed.
3. The story will be ready when it's ready, not before.
I think that's pretty self explanatory.
[random] There are a lot of anonymous comments for the story, if any of you guys want an LJ drop me a line and I will hook you up with a code. [/random]

de-anonymize me!
(Anonymous) 2003-10-19 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)And screw the haters giving you a hard time. Writing shouldn't follow a schedule...otherwise it would be forced and non-creative like 85% of what's on network tv.
I can't figure out why anyone would find Jamie to be sinister. Unless they're making associations with his Murder By Numbers character...
