A brief introduction.

So, as you may have noticed, I am currently stretched...well, pretty thin. I am thus bringing on some help here in the salt mines, to make sure things keep running smoothly. Yaaaay!

The lovely Deborah (talkstowolves) has been handling the "Wicked Girls" T-shirt orders, which are almost ready to go to the printer, and will now be stepping in to help with basic website administration work. She'll be updating the news and appearances, fixing typos, and making adjustments to pages as needed. This will free me up to actually get some of the major things done in a more timely manner.

Also! While I will continue trying to answer all comments on this journal in a vaguely timely fashion, it...isn't always so possible. To help prevent confusion, I thought I'd give you the names of the folks who are Fully Authorized (tm) to answer direct questions on my behalf.

porpentine does my website code, and can answer any and all questions about how it works.
talkstowolves and vixyish do a lot of administrative duties for me, and can answer practically all questions about what the hell I think I'm doing.
aiglet has the best grasp of my schedule of anyone who isn't me, and can usually answer questions about where I am and when I'll be back.

In short, if you ask a question, and one of these four people answers it, you can take their answer as coming from me. (I realize there will always be less general questions, like "where did you get that icon?" and "hey, didn't I see you last Tuesday at the Gwar concert?" But there's been some confusion lately, stemming from people asking questions and then getting them answered eight ways, by eight different folks. I'm just trying to make it all a little less bewildering. As if that's possible.)

Thank my brave volunteer staffers, and do not throw things at them. They bite.

*suggests that the Brave Volunteer Staffers may want -- if they don't have 'em already -- to make Special Icons to use when speaking ex cathedra*

*hopes the stretching will calm down soon; good luck!*
...you know, that's actually not a bad idea.

Can they say "Channeling the Blonde"?
I second this idea - I've seen it used in communities I read, and it's a great way to identify official-type responses.
It's all up to them.
Hooray for the unwrecking crew! Long may they prosper. :)
so mote it be

*passes out tea and biscuits for everyone* Thanks, volunteer folks. :)
Mmmmm, biscuits.
I welcome them most regally
but I must verify this legally
you are still my secret love
not yon proxies of list above.

Noted!
Dutifully following directions: THANK YOU BRAVE VOLUNTEER STAFFERS (insert cheering crowd sound)

Do we get to thank everyone in person at WorldCon? I think that there is a signing on Sunday that is flash-mob time, right? We're all supposed to show up with "We love Toby" signs and faint at the sight of our dear author, and when GRRM walks by, ask who he is and then be all perplexed by the answer, right? Or did I read the wrong script sides?
And let's not forget the cheering section at the Hugos... 8-)
...I would love you if you did.
vixyish bites me all the time, not just when I throw things at her.
Dearest Vixy, ur doin it rong. Seanan says so.
:)
Hey, you have your own contract with her. I am NOT getting involved.
When your minions bite is their minion status inferred upon the bitten individual, as with some forms of lycanthropy or vampirism?
Sadly, no.
*high fives* Good on ya - very smart.
I thought so.
Well done you! WELCOME BRAVE VOLUNTEER STAFFERS! If one of you could answer a scheduling question I would be delighted to hear from you - Is Seanan planning to be at OVFF? I Know she is at Conclave a couple weeks before but I can't get there or to Worldcon, and am hoping for an (at a respectful distance with no grabbing involved) live sighting sometime this year!
I am planning to be at OVFF, although not for the whole weekend, and am not doing anything "official."
