Ive read it, and I'm not sure which five words you're talking about. But I can't wait to hear your reaction when you finish it.

Ah, that. It got overshadowed in my memory by, uh, other stuff.

Oh dear... it gets ... better? Aiiiii!

Yes, wow.

I immediately wanted to write a song about that scene, with those five words as the title. I didn't. It would be dated by the time I could safely sing it.

If I had a muse, she probably would have insisted I do so, even if I could never sing it. (I saw the lyrics to something someone wrote about the end of Feed. Now I need to stay awake long enough to make it to a filk so I can HEAR it...)

I suppose those five words were not "director of the Kauai Institute" -- hee hee hee.

mbumby November 17 2011, 19:15:12 UTC

Hee hee indeed! No, on me it may be hard to tell, but there _is_ a difference between doing a happy dance with a big grin and whimpering and going fetal.

Oh my. Yeah, that would probably draw too much of the wrong kind of attention.

OK, what is this? Now I'm dying to know.

Don't know how much you know... Mira Grant is a psuedo for Seanan McGuire, who won the Campbell in 2010. From what I've heard, "Feed" was #2 (or #1 for the first 4 rounds) in line for the Hugo in 2011. She's a filker, an artist, and an extraordinary author ( ... )
