On the subject of perk fulfillment...
Jan. 6th, 2014 12:02 pm...there's still a surprisingly large number of people who haven't given me the details of what they want. If you supported my moving fundraiser and don't remember seeing a message about this, search your inbox for "thank you for funding me", which is the subject line I used for the emails. In retrospect, I can understand someone not realizing it was more than a form message generated by the system or something.
Also, I totally sympathize with anyone who didn't answer immediately and then started feeling self-conscious about keeping me waiting or wondering if they'd missed the window where it's socially acceptable to reply or whatever. I'll say again: there's no hurry, and no expiration date. Here I am myself three months later, still figuring out parts of the perk fulfillment myself. There's no expiration date here. Ten years from now, if someone suddenly remembers they didn't claim a 99 cent short story and sends me an email about it, I'll be happy to do it. This is yours. You've earned it.
I'm going to go back and poke the people I haven't heard from, but after I finish everything else. If you're not hurried, I'm not.
On the subject of patience and perk fulfillment, I'd like to apologize to everyone who's been waiting on a holiday card. We got them made, but a combination of extreme weather and unexpectedly heavy personal stuff has kept me from getting them sent out before the holidays. They will be mailed this week. In the meantime, know that you were all very much in our thoughts this our first holiday season together.
