The lovely and charming Deborah, who is handling the administrative side of the current Wicked Girls T-shirt batch, has two very important announcements for everyone who has ordered, or is thinking about ordering. Namely:

1. Invoicing will start on Sunday, so no inquiries necessary until after we say they've been sent out.
2. People should check the comments for queries about their orders—there are a couple of people who have been queried without responding, but LJ may be being a tool and not delivering comments.

So basically, you haven't been asked to pay yet because no one has been asked to pay, and you should check your original comment to be sure that Deborah isn't asking you important questions which might delay fulfillment.

And that is all for now.

...and between myself-as-me and myself-as-Mira, I am on the ballot four times. Which is the first time a woman has ever been on the ballot four times in a single year. I'm nominated for...

Best Novel, Deadline.
Best Novella, Countdown.
Best Fancast, The SF Squeecast.
Best Related Work, Wicked Girls.

I am both insanely excited and paralyzed with fear, which means I feel sort of sick to my stomach. Thank you, thank you, thank you a thousand times to everyone who nominated; it means the world to me, and we have made history this year.

Congratulations to all the nominees, especially Jim Hines (Best Fan Writer), Betsy Wolheim (Best Long Form Editor), the voice of Toby, Mary Robinette Kowall (Best Novella), Paul Cornell (Best Novelette) and my beloved Cat Valente (Best Novella). I'll post the full ballot soon, when I get over the twitching and the nausea.

Thank you so much. This is such an honor. I am so lucky. I can't stop crying.

Thank you.
