hackthis_archiveI 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]

Heh. I was thinking this for about five minutes and getting very anxious not wanting it to be true. Because I still want to marry Jamie. There was a line that made me think it, but I don't remember what it was. Something a couple parts ago. But then I dismissed the idea because you're too good a writer to make it that easy. Also, I dismissed the idea because Jamie plays guitar and is cute and part of me wants Seth to have his babies.
I think people are generally paranoid about nice people. I'm paranoid about nice people even in real life. I can't be friends with nice people because I end up wondering how sincere they are. Seriously, all my friends are just this side of total bitches. But so am I, so yay!
Uh, yeah. Somewhere along the line this momentary reassurance that I still love Jamie turned rambly. Uh. Yes. Jamie? Good. Non-dominatrix... although maybe Seth would like that.
