It's not Alabama clay gives my trembling hands away, oh, underneath the water.

...please forgive me, Father.

So I'm trying to get ready for Worldcon, and that means doing all the accounting, ever, to make sure that I'm not missing something massively important. Have an inchworm post.

I need a nap.

Is 'Half-Off Ragnarok' the title of a InCryptid book?

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yup! It has its own tag and everything, in case you wanted to check progress. :)

[mrs-norris-mous.livejournal.com]

"In Sea-Salt Tears," Can you tell people where they will be able to buy it yet :)

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

No.

[mrs-norris-mous.livejournal.com]

Well there are only 9 days left, I can wait :)

In the hopes of not piling further work onto an already busy blonde, is there someone else to whom questions regarding the second shirt run can be directed?

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

They've arrived, they're in big-ass cardboard boxes awaiting sorting, and a shipping party is being planned. The boxes are unopened to avoid CATHAIRAPALOOZA.

[qnofhrt.livejournal.com]

Any hope some will come to Chicon with you?

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

No. That was a NIGHTMARE last time. Half my suitcase was shirts, and I couldn't find half the people who'd said they'd collect. We're shipping in a much more organized fashion, which means everyone should get shirts at roughly the same time; we just need the mailers to arrive, and to be able to open the boxes of shirts in the cat-hair-free environment of the shipping party.

Yay SFContario! I shall have to attend. What is your stance on gifts in a edible format or your stance on gifts in general?

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I'm a fan!

[dragonsally.livejournal.com]

I looked very hopefully for any Aussie dates *sigh*

Busy as always Ma'am.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Not yet, but hopefully someday. I miss Australia.

I did my pre-order of Ashes of Honor yesterday! The bookshop guy asked if you were Seanan or Mira for this one and I informed him you were Seanan.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Hee hee hee yay.

[princesselwen.livejournal.com]

So you're a Civil Wars fan too? I love "Barton Hollow," as well as "The Violet Hour," "Falling," Kingdom Come," and "O Come, O Come Emmanuel."

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I am! I adore them so.
