A few quick administrative notes.

Note the first:

I automatically friend back anyone who friends this journal, because it seems the polite thing to do. However, as noted in my user information, I don't have time to read everyone who friends this journal. I might have been better off going with a "don't friend anyone, ever" policy, I don't know, but I didn't, and it's too late now. So if you've posted something and you wanted me to see it, you need to tell me directly, rather than just assuming I'll come across it on my own. Being shirty with me because I haven't seen it will just get you looked at blankly. I do a very good blank look.

Note the second:

Yes, Wicked Girls has arrived at my house, and yes, I have started mailing them. That being said, there are 300 to be mailed, and there's only one of me. I've managed to get one batch packed and to the post office, with another batch ready to go out today...leaving only 220 in the database to be dealt with. Asking me where your CD is will only make me cry. You should receive an email when your order is officially ready to go to the post office, and it will be sent within twenty-four hours (or so) of that email being sent. If you really, really need to update your address information, you should mail me yesterday, and be prepared for bribery.

Note the third:

Yes, I am still mailing "Wicked Girls" posters, although I can only carry a very limited number to the post office each day. At present, all but six paid orders have been mailed, and I have eight more orders pending unpaid. If you have a question about your order, please feel free to contact me. When I say "please send your shipping information to this address as a reply to this message," I mean it; don't include it in your PayPal receipt. Shipping information in a PayPal receipt will not be seen or captured.

And that's the administravia for today.

Seanan, that's rough, sorry you have to deal with that kind of thing. And you being a published author makes it worse.

I've run into my share of people without a clue. And learned long ago to take a deep breath and be happy for me, not for other people. I only friend (blogs, Twitter, no FB) serious writers, crit partners, or people I know. Makes life stress free. Please consider taking a deep breath and no more auto friending!

I think that ceasing the auto-friending would come with a whole new can of worms, since part of the point was avoiding the impression of exclusionary "oh, these are my FRIENDS, you're NOT." I'd have to unfriend everyone! So I probably shan't, but shall just look a little tired.
