That periodic reminder about contacting me.

With two books coming out soon (and one of them being the sequel to Feed), I'm getting a lot of contacts, in a lot of forums. So here's the periodic reminder about reaching me:

1) My website has a "contact" form. Actually, both of them do. You can contact Seanan-me or Mira-me, and both of them go straight to me. I answer Seanan-mail a little faster, because it dumps into my main inbox, but either one will do the job.

2) My LJ is paid! Which means you can email me @livejournal.com. It's true! That, too, will drop you into my main inbox, which is a warm, comfortable place to be. You should try it.

3) Sending me messages through the LJ inbox, on the other hand, makes me sad inside. I'm serious. If I could block it without screwing up my comment notifications, I would. As it stands, I make absolutely no guarantees about answering you. Ever. Messages sent to inboxes I've asked not be used are the only ones I don't feel obligated to reply to.

4) The same goes for Facebook. I use Facebook to play stupid clicky games and occasionally check on my friends. I do not use it for mail. So if you send me messages there? I may never get back to you.

So seriously, if you need me? Email. Email is the ONLY WAY I can guarantee a reply. Even there, please be aware that I am about twenty feet underwater at all times right now; it may take several days, or even weeks, before I reply, unless your message is somehow time sensitive (like "Please come over here and eat this cupcake").

Thank you!

I'm still impressed every time at how quickly you respond to email. I know people who can barely accomplish one tenth of what you do in a week, and they still take forever to respond to email. :-)

Plus since the whole time I've know you you've been a PUBLISHED AUTHOR (a term equivalent to celebrity in my mind) I'm just delighted that you make yourself available to be contacted at all.
So thank you for that.

What she said. You and Chris Moore are the two most accesible celebrities I've come across:) My daughter still thinks you are the bee's knees since you actually get to write stories that people read.
