I just want to make a quick announcement.
I have absolutely nothing against people coming to my inbox to talk about the books or asking my opinion (it’s actually quite flattering that you are interested in my opinion, so thank you), but the problem is that tumblr seems to be eating some messages, so I don’t get all of the parts in a longer series of messages or some just get sent very delayed.
To the bi female anon: Your second part landed in my inbox late last night.
To the anon with the long message: I think parts 6-12 are missing, maybe I will get them delayed as well, we’ll have to see.
Now, I will get to the questions asked so far, I will probably also make some kind of Alec-master post to sum up all my thoughts/opinion on the book-version of the character for the parts asked about most frequently or just discussed most frequently in the fandom.
Of course, as I mentioned above, I love getting your messages, none of you have been rude so far and I very much appreciate discussions on that ground, but I would also maybe suggest that if you have a longer message, you use the submit box to send it in? (I’ve gotten a longer one before submitted, so I think it’s still open and should work.)
I just don’t want you to go through the trouble of typing out those many messages and then for them not to get sent properly.
On answering:
I might take a bit for the rest of this week because I want to participate in a big writing competition (there’s money to win O.o) and the deadline is next Monday (July 11th), so I want to get the text done by Friday because last year I sent it the same day of the deadline and I’m not sure it was still.
Then there’s a dinner coming up on Sunday for meeting some friends as preparation for the wedding of a friend of mine and my step-father’s birthday is also next week. I also have some stuff to do to save my sorry ass a place at the university for the next semester.
So, yeah, I might take a bit with answering, but I’m not ignoring you or sick of you sending in your messages, just wanted to make this clear.
