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]

no subject
i've been reading telegraph ave, and it has got to be one of the best stories that i've ever read, in any fandom. seriously! it got more points because ryan gosling is hot as hell. i've been in love with him ever since i saw "murder by numbers". holy shite. plus, you paint the pictures of him and seth so nicely, i'm just like "aww". i'm not being very coherent right now, seeing how i'm in the midst of writing a boring philosophy paper, but i just wanted to say thanks for writing such a great story! peace
