Administrative bits and pieces.

1. I don't know why this needs to be repeated, but here you go: If you friend this journal, I will friend your journal in return, so that you can see any friend-locked contests or giveaways (they're rare, but they happen). I will not necessarily read your journal, as I am very, very outnumbered, and I need to sleep occasionally. Assume I don't see anything you post unless you point it out to me explicitly. If you unfriend this journal, I will unfriend your journal in return. This is not a personal thing. This is just mirror-image reciprocity.

2. If you're looking for book release dates, or want to know when/where a story will be appearing, check my bibliography page. I update it regularly, and while not all recently-sold stories will be present (since I don't add things until they have a firm release date), this will answer ninety percent of the "when can I get...?" questions.

3. If you want to know where I'm going to be and when I'm going to be there, check my appearances page. It, too, is updated frequently (although I'm not as good about editing past appearances to put them in the correct tense as I would like to be). I'll usually post about an upcoming appearance here, but long-range planning is rendered easier by the actual appearances page.

4. If I was supposed to mail you something—a poster, a CD, a book you won in a contest, a severed human head—and you haven't received it, the appropriate channel for letting me know is via email. My website contact link is easy to find and easy to use, and if I don't know you don't have something, I can't look into it. I don't use mail confirmation when I send things; the additional postage cost is simply not an option. So please, please, if you don't have something you think you should have, email me!

5. Zombies are love.

I'm expecting a severed zombie head. Because they are extra love.

Sadly, those count as biologically active materials, and can't be mailed.

I got that CD the other day, btw, and wanted to say thank you :)

Speaking of the mails, did you get the hat?

Yes! AFTER I got the comment, actually, which was kind of adorable. I love it so!!!!

I love this! I want to copy it for my own user-info! May I? With adjustments and/or credit, of course! :)

I think you may be right.

The heads must be a real hassle to get through customs.

Re. #5, I've almost finished reading Zombiesquee. One more story tonight (is it a silly idea to read about zombies before going to sleep? I don't think they are making my dreams any more weird than usual, not that's saying much given my usual level of dreamweirdness)...

seanan_mcguire

March 22 2011, 14:55:59 UTC 6 years ago

I read about zombies before going to sleep ALL THE TIME.

In totally different news...

When I took newroticgirl out for her birthday lunch yesterday there was a might squee of "WHAT'S THAT!?!" when she saw a certain purpley covered book in the backseat.

"That might be a copy of Late Eclipse for your birthday, where I have left it for you to discover."

That was followed by more squeeing as we drove to Red Robin, her scent marking the book, and a bit more squee as we waited for lunch, with a side of squee.

....Did she pee on the book or lick it? Or rub her head against it? Inquiring minds have to know.

My scents from the Conjure Oils decant circle arrived, and they're wonderful! Thanks for being a) awesome enough to inspire such things, and b) for posting about the decant circle here!

Oh, yay!

Aren't they amazing? My mother keeps swiping my Toby Daye.

I will use this post to say hello and I love your books and squee over the fact that I'm actually posting to the author of the books I love. And I'm not a squee-er (often, I swear) so that's HUGE.

So, um, yeah, you're great. Also thank you for the book recommendations in a few previous posts as I've done some damage to the bank account and the Nook's memory card at the same time.

:D

Hello! Welcome!

Thank you for letting me know that you like the books. :) It makes my days brighter when people say such things unsolicited.

Assume I don't see anything you post unless you point it out to me explicitly.

Duly noted. I will now assume that pointing out new songs rather than modestly waiting for you to notice does not count as bragging. :-)

seanan_mcguire

March 22 2011, 15:12:42 UTC 6 years ago

It is not bragging! It delights me!

Vixy did "Oak and Ash and Rowan and Thorn" at the Saturday book event. I squeed.

Awesome, on both counts.
