A sheep has left the fold, hoofbeats go a'trotting, trotting...

[seanan_mcguire]

...up to Heaven bold, at the gates a'knocking, knocking.

Inchworm, inchworm, measuring the never-ending parade of ongoing projects, keeping me from losing track of what I'm doing and dissolving into a weeping pile of insecurities and confusion. Hooray!

No fixed deadline/being written/unsold:

The Best Thing
"Carry Me Home"
"Pixie Season"
"These Antique Fables"
"vs. The Melancholy of Autumn"
"vs. A Disturbing Number of Crows"
"Build Me a Wonderland"
"Winter Sunshine"
Magic For Nothing
The Nativity of Chance
Echo

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!

You were announced as the Toast at a convention near me (Kansas City) next year, but it's not yet on your list. Hope that doesn't mean something has changed. I'm looking forward to finally getting to meet you in meat space.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I pretty much don't put conventions here until a) I am on their web sites, and b) they have given me written permission. I've gotten yelled at too many times.

Although now I'm starting to get pissed because half these cons don't update their damn web sites, so I wind up with a lot of "no comment" replies.

[apocalypticbob.livejournal.com]

I completely understand that. There was much applause when the announcement was made at the closing ceremonies. Looking forward to seeing you!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I found the post on their Facebook. I HATE DOING THAT. But I am tired of being asked, so...guess they just don't get a formal announcement.

[apocalypticbob.livejournal.com]

Totally fair. I'm sorry. That's very frustrating.

"Please Do Not Taunt the Octopus," July 14, 2015 (as Mira Grant) So cloooooose!

Also I loved the Devil's Carnival - that was probably my favorite song in the whole opera, though "Prick! Goes the Scorpion's Tail" is the most fun to sing while washing the dishes XD Are you excited for the sequel?

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I already have my tickets.

[geekhyena.livejournal.com]

*looks at tour dates, grabs roommate, squees* Aaaand we just got ours for our city's! Woooot!

[amdsmrnitesdrm.livejournal.com]

Yay! New Devil's Carnival movie makes me sooooo happy! There's no Seattle show, though, so I have to figure out if I can get down to Portland for it.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Booooooo.

[vincentursus.livejournal.com]

Please Do Not Taunt the Octopus

That is a lovely title.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Thaaaaaank you.

[ashabardon.livejournal.com]

Is "Please Do Not Taunt the Octopus" a Newsflesh story by chance? I read that and thought of Dr. Abbey.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yup.

[marziek.livejournal.com]

Who is the publisher for The Gods of HP Lovecraft? Is that a (gaspsqueeclap) Mermaid story?

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

That is Journalstone, and alas, no; it's a Deep One story.

[marziek.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Is it crazy that I love semi-colon usage in common commentary? Such clarity of purpose in semi-colons.

[renesears.livejournal.com]

Oh, huzzah, more Indexing! Yay!

[marziek.livejournal.com]

So excited about all the goodies coming out! I really enjoyed the Indexing installments, too.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Coming SO VERY SOON.

[gammelor.livejournal.com]

Shine on, o shiny one. :) You be one of my sheroes. Your work is helping me get through the aftermath of major neck surgery -- so nice to have fictional friends to keep my company. And much easier to read than to do my obligatory walking! Thanks for all the worlds and people you give me.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[vettecat.livejournal.com]

Do you anticipate releasing another Indexing collection when all the stories are done, for those of us who don't have e-readers?

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

That is a question for Amazon, not for me; this is not a self-published title.

[lazzchan.livejournal.com]

*looks extremely suspicious of the title "The Way Home" and prepares self for agony and tears*

XD Your list blows me away every single time I see it. You're amazing!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[kalimeg.livejournal.com]

Yay! Chaos Choreography! I have been waiting for that.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Good!

[lianneb.livejournal.com]

Ah, my annual Newsflesh birthday present!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

:)

[p-m-cryan.livejournal.com]

Looking forward to meeting you at NECON in a few days! I will be at one of the dealer tables.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

It was a swell time!
