Please. Please, I am begging you, please don't ask "when can we read X" or "does this mean you'll be writing more about Y." If I haven't told you, I can't tell you.
My schedule for the next six months is tight enough that I've been cancelling dinner dates and social outings left and right, and I didn't have that many of them to start with. And that doesn't include more Velveteen, more Rose, or more anything else that I haven't already announced publicly, on this blog.
I love having an involved, active community here that I can talk to, learn from, and listen to. And I do appreciate knowing what you want to see more of. But if something is happening, confirmed, and at a point where I can say "this is happening," then I will say it without prompting. Asking about it over and over again in comments and email just makes me tired and sad and grumpy, and unfortunately, I'm only human: the 200th time I'm asked something, I will snap, which especially sucks if this was your first entry into the conversation.
So please. Don't ask me these questions. I can't answer them, so you won't get any satisfaction, but you will make me sad.
And that sucks.

However, if you think communicating secretly on the net is hard, you have no idea how big a haystack it is, or how tricky we can be today. I'll say no more on this here; I prefer not to go off-topic on somebody else's LJ.

That said, why do you think I'm talking about current events?
