A few quick, friendly reminders.

Reminder the first: If I say a giveaway has rules, it has rules, and those rules are absolute. If my mother, who lives with me, enters the drawing and doesn't say "US address," she is not eligible to win. It's the only way to be fair, since otherwise my personal knowledge of some people's situations would mean that they had an advantage.

Reminder the second: I do not answer questions posed on giveaway posts. It confuses the random number generator by distorting the signal to noise ratio. If you're trying to ask me something directly, either comment on another applicable post, or send me an email.

Reminder the third: I try to answer all comments and emails which are not directly tied to a giveaway post or posted under comment amnesty. This is not an instantaneous process. I have 500+ comments currently waiting to be answered, and no one knows how many email messages. Please don't email AGAIN asking where your reply is. It doesn't make me faster, it just makes me sad.

These have been your friendly reminders for today.

I've really enjoyed getting some of the responses that take a while!

It means I've had some time to let the back brain ponder whatever the comment was about, and it reminds me to go back and see what other people have had to say in the mean time.

Of course, I'm still amazed that you get back to all of your comments. I mean really you have a full time day job, write multiple books and other bits of fiction every year, and get exponentially more comments than I do.
