It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Holli, you're not an SFWA member yet, I assume?

I can't write a threatening letter on your behalf, but do you have the WhoIs information on the website? We can do some signal boosting to the SF community.

All it takes is one post from James Nicoll or Nick Mamatas to bring the wrath of the internets down on them.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

I'm not yet, no-- only one qualifying sale under my belt, and I need three. I'm a little afraid to bad-mouth them too publicly before I make an attempt at recouping my lost income, but on the other hand maybe a lot of public bad press will make the guy answer my damn emails already.

(Oh, and the magazine is run by a Jay Faulkner, who lives in Northern Ireland and seems to have no trouble updating his Twitter, despite him seeming inability to answer email.)

eems to have no trouble updating his Twitter, despite him seeming inability to answer email

Can you respond to a tweet saying "Oh good you are online, can you answer my email message already?"

I am having agita because I sent something off to our client at the end of the day that I think showcased some messiness in our requirements doc and she emailed me a little after 5 to call her and I'd left already to go to a benefit happy hour thing. argh! I want to think our shit is pretty tight but I really don't think it is in this case. I wish I hadn't checked my email tonight. feh.

Oh, good, you're online, can you take down the story or pay me for it?

I... don't actually have a Twitter. I guess I could get one. I'm not sure if my next communication with him should be an Official Scary Letter, or something less formal.

Because books.

Official Scary Letter. If he doesn't answer email, he'll ignore a tweet.

Yeash, Holli. That's infuriating.

Confession time: I've had pangs to get another cat. I know it for what it is, not really another cat, just MK back. There's a MK shaped hole in this house. It'll shrink, and I truly have no desire to have 4 cats, it's just grief. Cause god knows I'm full with the three now, especially since Devi's become extra-affectionate (not sure if she's picking up on me or the integration of Pumpkin, finally) and so it isn't as if I am wont for feline attention (Pumpkin LOVES toilet flushes. So not only do I get captive audience attention, she sticks around for that.)

But man, my brain is squirrelly.

Please let no strays cross my path for a while.
