Hold my hand, oh baby, it's a long way down...

...to the bottom of the river.

This is the shape of my 2014, with travel dates and everything. Beautiful travel dates. Hope to see you in the months to come! We are now solidly into 2015, as 2014 fades into fall and slides toward leaving. Which is terrifying in its own right, if you think about it.

No fixed deadline/being written/unsold:

The Best Thing
"Target Practice"
"Decay"
"Fiber"
"Carry Me Home"
"Pixie Season"
"These Antique Fables"
"All the Pretty Little Horses"
"Brotherly Love"
"Split Ends"
"Sleeping Beauty"
"Frostbite"
"False Love's Kiss"
"Holly Tree"
Echo
Chaos Choreography

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!

This has nothing to do with your schedule (though it is a very nice schedule).

I'm halfway through Parasite (and loving it!) and I'm wondering if you've given any thought to publishing Don't Go Out Alone. I didn't even realize it was a fictional book until I googled it to see if I could buy it somewhere and the internet informed me that I was SOL.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I have written the full text, and we're currently seeking a publisher. :)

[groblek.livejournal.com]

That is awesome to hear. If you find a publisher, Josh is getting a new bedtime story. :)

[poincaraux.livejournal.com]

So awesome!

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

A full schedule there.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Usually.

[nurseiris.livejournal.com]

At one point you were writing a story based off "Still Catch the Tide". Whatever happened to that?

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Quoting the default text at the top of the current projects post, because it's accurate and quick:

"Not everything on this list has been sold. I will not discuss the sale status of anything which has not been publicly announced. If you can't remember whether I've announced something, check the relevant tag, or go to my website, at www.seananmcguire.com. Please do not ask why project X is no longer on the list. I will not answer you."

Sorry. :(

It makes me so happy when you quote Delta Rae, you have no idea. <3333333

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I LOVE DELTA RAE SO MUCH

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I don't know what story you're talking about. Sorry.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Strangers in the Court was never about the history of Faerie or the Courts, it was a novel not a story, and it is not being written because people wouldn't leave me alone about it after I asked them to stop.

Good searching!

*screams with delight*

YOU.. you're coming.. you're coming to Chessiecon... I think I can officially die happily now. *has the biggest, most stupid grin on my face right now* I have a chance to meet one of my absolute favorite authors.... !!!!!!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[hawkwolf.livejournal.com]

I can't express how excited I am that you're coming to Chessiecon. I've been being muchly sad that your con appearances were nowhere near me until that one showed up!

Which is not a criticism or anything! I totally understand not attending cons too far away from home! But I am excited!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Sadly, it's all in where I'm invited to go.

[calico-reaction.livejournal.com]

Holy frakking shit, you're going to be in Chattanooga next year? THAT IS SO CLOSE TO ME!!!! I must make this happen.....

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh that would be awesome!
