awakeSo I've been experiencing a real uptick recently in people using LJ's internal messaging system to reach me. I don't know why? I don't know if this is a societal switch toward "let's use one site for absolutely everything, always, and if you ever have to switch tags, that's bad," or if LJ has started giving out free kittens with every message sent, or what, but I am here to beg you to please not do that.
One of the functions of my OCD is that I feel compelled to answer all comments that are not somehow covered by comment amnesty, such as being second-level (a reply to one of my replies) or on a post that's connected to the RNG. This can take a long time. I have over 1,300 unanswered comments right now. I do not mind this! Comments are very rarely time-sensitive, and when they are, such as with the WG orders, I either get help or I leave myself a post-it. But this means that anything that's not on those entries just gets buried. Your message can wait up to a year for me to notice it.
Please, if you need to reach me privately, use my website contact form. That's what my website contact form is for. I get all that mail. I read all that mail. I answer most of that mail (some things do not require an answer). I do not overlook that mail for a year. Please, do not message me here, or on Tumblr, or on Facebook. Use my contact form. Please.
Slasher Chicks shirts.
I have answered all currently outstanding inquires, and I still have pretty, pretty Slasher Chicks shirts for sale. So pretty! So totally random in terms of color and size! It's an adventure every time I have to look up a size/color combo, and the adventure can be yours.
Old ARCs.
I have two ARCs of Half-Off Ragnarok left over, and I would like to see them go to a good home where they will be turned into art. People periodically need books for art projects, so...anyone out there looking to do some fun papercrafts and need an ARC or two? Please do not ask if you want to keep the ARCs in book form for reading purposes; I'm looking for people who are looking to make things. US addresses only, since postage is expensive and I'd need to ask you to pay it and ARCs aren't worth it (unless you're emulating a friend of mine and making something like a bridal bouquet out of ARCs, because that's a really important and long-term papercraft, and justifies you paying for postage).
Go ahead and comment on this post if you're interested, so other people can see that the ARCs may have been claimed. Again, please, crafters only.
Media stuff.
Surprisingly good: the movie Big Ass Spider.
Also surprisingly good: Girl Meets World.
...and thus do I summarize my entire experience with media in two three-word titles.
More later, but these are the things that mattered right now!

I got given a (ex-library) copy of a book I already had for my birthday, and I've decided to cannibalise it for parts and make quote badges. Because everyone needs a badge explaining how cats have spines... on... their... oh.
Forgive the ellipses. I just thought of Tybalt halfway through the sentence and now I am hoping on Toby's behalf that his 'human' body is entirely human, as it were.

Tybalt does not have spines on his penis. Toby would not put up with that shit.

You'd be amazed at the ways that Red Dwarf fandom danced around it in the case of The Cat (who, if you don't know, is a humanoid evolved from cats). It's book canon but not TV show canon. One of my friends had it down as an evolutionary shift into 'ribbed for her pleasure'. I love that fandom.
