And if you have... well... <drunken declaration> I love you guys!</drunken declaration>
I expected some cr..um... feedback when we got to this point in the story, but got very little hatemail about Cam.
Instead, what I got was a lot of discussion about how this affects the MC, the plotline; about how the MC would react to the situation and how it would affect his decision processes down the line.
Not only was much of it very well thought out, some of it was particularly astute. Some readers' speculations were amazingly on target and you have no idea how pleased that makes me.
Sure, there were some kneejerk "YOU MONSTAR!!!1!" reactions, but they were far outweighed by the more thoughtful, reasoned responses that make writing in a venue like SOL so very rewarding.
Thanks folks, you make this fun!
