Again, to clarify some recent confusion: some things, especially novel-length things, may appear more than once, on both the "publication date" and "being written" lists. This is because the "being written" list is an aggregate, which also includes "no fixed deadline" (IE, being written on spec or for the website) and "unsold" (IE, being written because I can). So new books will appear there for a long time before they vanish, since books take a long time to write, but may also have pub dates listed higher up.
Look at that list. It's so shiny!

With the short stories, are they all for anthologies or some for periodicals, and is the best place to keep track of their ultimate publication location your bibliography page on your website, or will you post details here for the shorts as well as the novels?
I do read here as religiously as possible (HAIL!), but I have a busy, busy month ahead of me and then I get a lovely week's beach holiday in December, so I don't entirely know what the shape of my next month is. (I forgot there was a new Night Vale episode on the first; that should tell you where my head is at.)

I couldn't find any other way to contact you, since I don't have an LJ anymore and I'm not on tumblr. I just wanted to say that I found you through your epic rant about rape in your stories (which is epic and awesome and I have linked it to many people since I first read it), and wound up devouring everything of yours that I could find in my library system, and buying some of them - and probably more in the near future, as I have recently become less broke than usual. You're a fantastic writer; you're funny and smart and you have a pretty unique spin on things, and I really really enjoy your protagonists! (Verity's probably my favourite so far, though Toby comes close *grin*) And, for a huge bonus, I know I can settle in with your books and relax and not have to worry about being slapped in the face with misogyny or homophobia or bullshit racist stuff (I'm a bisexual WOC, so that does in fact really get to me), and I don't think I can cram what a huge comfort that is to me into words. Well, not the sense-making kind of words, anyway. Thank you so much for being so completely awesome both professionally and personally.

I first read this as "we are sailing blithely on into its bright and unknown horrors." I'm okay with that, too.
