RIP LJ Smith, and: I started writing fanfic again

lm — Fri, 20 Jun 2025 18:35:01 GMT

Oh hi, it's been a long time.

I figured some folks may still be here who know me back from my LJ Smith fandom days, and might be interested to see that I wrote two new stories in the Redux series - the first in 14 years: Family and Fealty. They're IMO a very satisfactory mix of emotional processing and unabashed smut.

Also... LJ Smith died, and all the public places to grieve are... not really the place to leave the kind of memorial I'd like to offer.

In the memorable way of Dune fandom, I would like to say:

I Was A Friend of Lisa's

And only now that she's gone, have I been able to put together some essential pieces of her life, and be open about others:

She was a Friend of Dorothy's, and she was One of Us: A slasher, a fanfic writer. A queer woman who stayed closeted and private and maybe even went off the deep end from all the layers of secrets and loss in her life.

I have her Blake's 7 slash fanfics from the 80s. Her vampire brothers, Damon and Stefan? Are modified characters from her queer stories. Every time any of us slashed her characters, we were doing exactly what she would have done in our place.

Her "best friend" who she dedicated books to all those years? Was her roommate, in the "they were roommates" sense. Her life partner, hidden in plain sight.

No wonder she was so protective of Lisa. I can maybe forgive her now.

Why were so many of her characters queer-coded? Why were so many of her women, in particular, so enticingly Sapphic even when they ostensibly had boyfriends? Because she, too, was queer. Sapphic. Closeted to some degree, though we her fans will never know how much. She knew how to write secretly-queer characters because, at least in her public life, that's exactly what she was.

I wondered for many years how such a sizeable portion of her devoted fans grew up to be trans, enby, queer, gay, etc.

And here's my answer: She was one of us all along.

Happy Pride, LJS. Although I parted ways with your writing and your persona many years ago, I will always miss the You I knew through your books in the 1990s, and I'm glad you are now at rest. Thanks for everything you gave us.

this is novel.

Trying out the LJ app, trying to learn to love LJ again.

I so fucking hate Facebook.

For those who might be looking for it...

possets: halloween book of the dead decant circle

lm — Sat, 29 Sep 2012 07:20:21 GMT

Geez, these fall scents are killing me here! So much for my decanting hiatus...

11/04 update: Belatedly confirming ship dates. I sent out roughly half the orders on 10/30, and the rest went out on 11/01. As far as I can tell, I never received payments from Jovi or asheleyweeks, so those have not been sent.

10/28 update: These are shipping ASAP. Apologies for not being able to get these to y'all in time for Halloween :( These are up on the Possets site until the end of November, so you should have time to test though!

10/20 update: I received these 2 days ago and finished making all the labels today. Decanting commences tomorrow!

10/13 update: Everything is final now. I am ordering this today! There is still room in:

Scents will be italicized when they become definite.

If you don't have an LJ account, you're always welcome to sign up for my circles by e-mailing me at damon at panavatar dot net.

half. miss_isis_uk
half. uschiswirl
half. go_on_then

Ghost Fart
Ethereal, very unusual, and about as easy to explain as spiritual flatulence. Actually, it's real nice stuff and you really should try it, but don't try to explain it. Foody gourmand.

full, full. yggdrasill
half. apathygirl30

Halloween
Incensy, spicy, and manages to capture the width of a dimming blue October sky. Resinous, gourmand.
[half bottle]. jovi

Infernal Bar-B-Que Sauce
It smells just like hellishly good bar-b-que sauce to me, something to sink your teeth into. Mmmm, ribs! Succulent, spicy (lil bit), sweet, and gooey good.
NOT BEING ORDERED

Pumpkin on Wall Street
A dried and more grown up pumpkin, the pumpkin here is evident but hiding under a chypre-like potion which is quite hypnotic. Light patchouli keeps the blend going beautifully.

full. avidbeader
full. wendyb1063
full. uschiswirl
half. go_on_then

The Girls Love Ginger
Honey and ginger, but not one ginger but two, and a drop of myrtle. A lovely but zesty thing. There is a small hint of sweetwood in it too, to keep it all from being overly abrasive.

bpal stuff: pickman's gallery decant circle

lm — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 23:56:12 GMT

All right...I caved and decided to do another decant circle. Just for the Pickmans; nothing else from this update.

11/04 update: Sorry folks, but I'm gonna have to cancel this one. Aside from lack of signups, my schedule has gotten a lot more full and won't be letting up for a while. I hate to disappoint, but...yeah. This was just not meant to be.

10/20 update: Still trying to get more interest in this. I will probably have to cancel the circle if things don't start looking up within the next couple weeks. :(

10/04 UPDATE! I'm going to try and drum up some more interest in this circle tomorrow. I'm not going to give anyone a total until this circle's definitely a go!

PLEASE READ ALL THE BLATHER HERE AT THE TOP!

For this circle I am requesting a minimum order of 6 decants per person. This includes half decants, add-ons, etc. (I'm trying to minimize the shipping time from me to you, and packaging/shipping 1 decant basically takes the same amount of time as many more.)

I am really going to need a given bottle to be mostly full in order to be included in the final circle. I will italicize bottles as they become definite. Depending on how things come together, I may be splitting this into two orders.

I am NOT offering half bottles for this circle UNLESS a given scent fills enough to order a second bottle. PLMK if you're interested in a half bottle of something, and I will get back to you if/when it becomes available. I'm sorry to not be able to be more accommodating about this.

I am going to be ordering this as soon as I get enough $$ together, so the sooner you pay after receiving a total, the sooner I can order. That said, these scents will be live for quite a while, so I am not in a huge rush, and if you need to wait for the next paycheck or whatever to pay--please just let me know.

If you don't have an LJ account, you're always welcome to sign up for my circles by e-mailing me at damon at panavatar dot net.

I am happy to combine shipping with my sale/swap and any other decant circles I happen to run between now and when these goodies arrive.

*********

THE DECANT CIRCLE POLICIES SECTION!

I've decided to move my usual policies, shipping/feedback/payment info etc. to their own page. If you've never joined one of my circles, I strongly urge you to read through it before signing up. I am also doing a couple special things for this circle, so

*************************************************

PRICES!!!

Half decants are $3.00 each! (or $54 for a set)
Full decants are $4.75 each! (or $83 for a set)

I am also offering a set of 1/4 decants of all 19 scents for $35.

I'll add stuff from the Lab to my order for you (whether or not you get decants) at no extra charge other than the usual PP fees.)

I'll be making computer-printed labels for these, with notes, instead of my usual handwritten ones.

conjure oils: halloween 2012 decant circle

lm — Sun, 16 Sep 2012 10:17:15 GMT

Making an exception to my current leave from decanting, 'cause this just looks too awesome.

12/08 update: "Everything" went into the mailbox this afternoon. Finally. However, I say "everything" because there were a few things left out from my order from Conjure. So if something's missing from your order, that would be why. I contacted Vajra about it but haven't heard anything back, and have not gotten a refund for them. For those of you who ordered those items--I can either refund you whenever Vajra gets around to refunding me (sigh) or I can send you goods of equal value from my sale page. This decant circle has been such a trainwreck--I'm so glad to have these decants shipped to you!

12/03 update: Friday shipping SO TOTALLY did not happen. Sorry y'all, the holidays are seriously insane for me this year.

11/24 update: I received these yesterday! Woo! I will get to work on these ASAP, and still plan to ship by Friday, but FYI my nail polish business has had an EPIC number of sales over the Black Friday weekend and I suddenly have a massive workload. I was seriously hoping to have these decants done with long before the craaaaazy holiday season started :(

11/21 update part 2: I've heard back from Vajra. Our order is ready and shipping on Friday. YAY! I will work hard to get the decants out to you by the end of next week, assuming USPS get the bottles to me promptly.

11/21 update: This order is still in limbo. No bottles have been received. I'm pretty sure I've contacted all of you with more info on how I'm proceeding, but please, if you didn't get it, poke me, or scroll down to the comments for more info. Thanks to everyone for being so patient with this circle!

11/14 update: I have STILL not received these bottles. I'm so sorry for the wait, everyone :( Vajra mentioned on FB yesterday that she will be taking down the Halloweens soon. When I commented with my distress, she said that my order's been held up due to 1 add-on!...I am going to get her to ship that 1 thing separately (I wish she'd notified me sooner!) but I still don't have an ETA on when that will be. HOWEVER, she said that you all will be able to order full bottles, whenever you ask, even if they aren't on the site any more, if you mention you were in a decant circle. Which is a relief, but...yeah, I am still pretty annoyed. I will update again as soon as I have more news.

10/28 update: I still haven't received the bottles from Conjure. They usually take about a month before shipment. But Vajra also posted on Facebook recently that her husband is now working full time, so she doesn't have a shipping helper anymore, and things might be a bit slower.

This order was placed on Sept 28th. If you haven't paid already, please do so ASAP!

There is still room in:

INDIVIDUAL DECANTS:

A Prologue
The lightest of spring flowers, the reticulated iris combined with a green hay like grass and this simple compelling blend sends you on your adventure.
half. olfactorymaven
half. crusoebird
half. jubilee88

Alchemical Gold (The Canon's Yeoman's Tale)
This is a heavy and oriental blend but it is suitable and good for springtime as well. A base of incense starts the ball rolling, and it's more of a lighter Chinese blend rather than a richer Indian sort of incense. Combined with cardamom, hawthorn, tagates and a bit of thyme.
full. white_aster
full. _natsumi_
half. wendyb1063
half. olfactorymaven
half. crusoebird
half. jubilee88
half. gypsyjolie
half. vitiatrix
half. oreana_rose

Alisoun (The Miller's Tale)
Sultry, tricky and fun. Foody to the max with a thick veil of white vanilla starting off, building up to a crescendo of special Australian apricot and a layer of honey musk.
full. omnia_mutantur
full. teitei
full. _natsumi_
half. olfactorymaven
half. cloudsedge
half. crusoebird
half. jubilee88

Cradle Game (The Reeve's Tale)
Baby powder, hawthorn, a bit of lemon cake, and a whiff of musk (skin musk) and you will probably find this rollicking vernal blend irresistible.
full. teitei
half. crusoebird
half. jubilee88

Custance (The Man of Law's Tale)
Sandalwood combined with a drop of Oude infusion, a kiss of tobacco flower, and a light dusting of dry incense.

half. cloudsedge
half. minxmarzipan
half. crusoebird
half. jubilee88
half. gypsyjolie
half. huanhua
half. vitiatrix

Death (The Pardoner's Tale)
A dark vetevyr as you have never smelled it before, mixes with smooth thyme and a good jolt of black amber. A faraway touch of incense and a tiny amount of pure smoke.
full. olfactorymaven
half. wendyb1063
half. sakai_yukari
half. minxmarzipan
half. crusoebird
half. gypsyjolie
half. _natsumi_
half. vitiatrix

Hubris (The Monk's Tale)
The bite and sniff of ginger (the best quality) combines with the cold of flitting winter and a kiss of oncoming spring.
full. omnia_mutantur
full. white_aster
half. wendyb1063
half. sakai_yukari
half. jubilee88
half. habiliments

~~Madame Eglantine (The Prioress' Tale)~~
That names means honeysuckle, but it could just as well been the welcome and lovely name of lilac which sweetens the days of mid spring, with a kiss of incense (for a nun) and a float of citrus.
half. natasja
half. jubilee88
half. huanhua
half. vitiatrix
half. oreana_rose

Patient Griselda (The Clerk's Tale)
Dry and dignified yet beautiful and desirable. Violet for humility, iris for courage, sandalwood for patience (because it is long lasting) and finally sweet flag for something which shows its true nature when trodden upon.
half. wendyb1063
half. sakai_yukari
half. natasja
half. crusoebird
half. jubilee88
half. gypsyjolie
half. huanhua
half. vitiatrix

Perkin (The Cook's Tale)
A canny and toothsome blend of pineapple and the smoothest of custards dripping with cream and vanilla. The tangy sourness of an exotic fruit along with the comfort of a nursery favorite. Simple and lovely.
full. omnia_mutantur
full. teitei
half. wendyb1063
half. cloudsedge
half. crusoebird

half. habiliments

Pertelote (The Nun's Priest's Tale)
Smooth brown sugar and cream mix with a twist of funnel cake and a light addition of pineapple juice and a dusting of sweet spices for an alluring foody combination that is out of this world.

full. teitei

half. olfactorymaven

half. gypsyjolie

Sex In A Tree (The Merchant's Tale)
Greenery and coconut (green coconut that is) are aflame with a very sexy patchouli accord which I concocted in the Possetorium for moments like this, a back-wash of wood (fresh hewn of course), a deep sandalwood, and a distant freshly opening blossom located somewhere up that tree. Very nice indeed.

~~St. Cecelia (The Second Nun's Tale)~~
A rose which I have in my backyard, a David Austin "myrrh scented" rose called St. Cecelia! Myrrh is part of this blend, along with a small amount of oude.
half. olfactorymaven
half. sakai_yukari
half. natasja
half. jubilee88
half. _natsumi_

The Knight
A light light scrap of the softest leather combines with a drop of tobacco flower and fern. Cool and yet artfully sexy, this scent is just right for a tryst in a woodland glen where there are lady's slippers blooming.
full. olfactorymaven
half. sakai_yukari
half. natasja
half. habiliments
half. gypsyjolie
half. huanhua
half. vitiatrix

The Shipman
The tang of the seashore, rushes up against Lime Bay Rum and a good shot of ship's wax which was used to lubricate the wood aboard, and skin musk to keep it going for a long time. An outdoorsy fragrance with an unexpectedly smoky note, but still very pretty with a great deal of depth and fun to it. Not somber at all and more of a jolly scent.

half. crusoebird
half. jubilee88
half. gypsyjolie
half. huanhua
half. finefocus
half. oreana_rose

The White Crow (The Manciple's Tale)
All the whitest of sweet fragrances blending together to be a clever conjure. A white leaf sage (more like Tuscan herbal accompaniment) goes together with lambs ear (again a white leafed desert plant). I mix them up with a cascade of distant white flowers from the Eastern woodland, and a drop of white tea.
half. sakai_yukari
half. natasja
half. crusoebird
half. jubilee88
half. habiliments
half. gypsyjolie

The Wife of Bath
Deep thunky musk from a smoky source, wild animalic and beautiful lacy jasmine, a drop of honey, a thrill of oak and a bit of rare and highly aged vanilla from Madagascar. Luscious, strong, velvety.

03/23 update: All of these except those going to jesse, zoodragon, reservoir, and diedre7 shipped early this morning. I'm putting the finishing touches on those 4 right now too. Poke me for tracking numbers as desired/needed! Supply issues held this circle up for a few unexpected days...and then on Tues I accidentally left my computer at someone else's house and couldn't get it back until yesterday, hence why things didn't ship on the 21st as stated below. Apologies for the delays, I feel like a jerk :(

03/20 update: These're shipping tomorrow!

03/09 update: The order has now been received! I'm starting work on decanting tonight :)

02/12 update: I forgot to mention that I placed this order on the 10th!

A couple notes about this circle: I think it's safe to say that these will NOT get to you in time for Valentine's Day. Also, I'll be doing my simple handmade labels for this circle, rather than the printed labels with the notes that I've done for the last few of them.

If you don't have an LJ account, you're always welcome to sign up for my circles by e-mailing me at damon at panavatar dot net.

I am happy to combine shipping with my sale/swap and any other decant circles I happen to run between now and when these goodies arrive.

03/05 update: All orders for this circle went out first thing this morning!

03/02 update: So...after I already had most orders all packaged up, on Tuesday night, I realized I had made a rather significant error (it's complicated--I'd rather not go into details here) that required me to unwrap and double-check every single order. It kinda totally sucked. I finished correcting all orders in the wee hours last night/this morning, and have now commenced repackaging. I've got a helper over here so I'm keeping my fingers crossed we'll be able to get things shipped tonight, although I only have a couple hours to spare. Anything that doesn't ship tonight will ship on Monday. I'm sorry for the screwup/holdup :(

02/24 update: Totally false alarm about the vials! I got my shipment from my supplier today! (Apparently their estimate was just extremely conservative.) I'm a couple days behind schedule, but not too bad. These'll be going out sometime in the coming week.

02/21: I'm most of the way through decanting now, but apparently I miscounted how many vials I had left, and am short by about 100 :( I'm currently trying to find someone who can send me that many right away, since my regular supplier takes about 2 weeks. I'll keep you updated! There's enough bottles involved here that everyone's orders are held up until I get these :(

02/19 update: I received these yesterdat--seems there was some snafu with USPS, and my package got routed to another city before making its way to me. I've made pretty good progress already, and expect these to ship this week. Thanks folks!

I placed this order on the 6th and received a shipping notice on the 10th!

Here's what's still up for grabs (in half imp spaces--divide by two if you're looking for fulls. Asterisk = half bottle available):

La Mère De La Bête Noire Cambienne: 9
Besotted: 9*
Billet-Doux: 5*
Chastity Belt: 1

2/5 update: Huzzah! gypsyjolie's kindly swapping me a 10mL of the La Mere Cambienne, so everyone who wants to can try that one after all!

2/4 update: Oh noes! Apparently both of the Cambiennes are now (probably) sold out :( Sorry folks!

A couple notes about this circle: Because V-Day is less than 2 weeks away now, and shipping times to and from me will probably take at least a week on their own, not even counting decanting, I think it's pretty unlikely that these will get to you in time for Valentine's Day. So please keep that in mind when you're ordering. Also, I'll be doing my simple handmade labels for this circle, rather than the printed labels with the notes that I've done for the last few of them.

I probably won't be able to order scents for which I don't get a total of 2-3 full (4-6 half) decants' worth of requests.

If you don't have an LJ account, you're always welcome to sign up for my circles by e-mailing me at damon at panavatar dot net.

I am happy to combine shipping with my sale/swap and any other decant circles I happen to run between now and when these goodies arrive.

lm — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 23:16:12 GMT

Someone has totally fucked with the Secret Circle novels page on Wikipedia. It looks like they've replaced descriptions of the books with descriptions of show episodes or something.

I am so so so angry about this. I'm going to see if I can go through the revisions and fix it.

I wish fans of the show didn't have to go crap on the books.

/rant

Better late than never...

Sorry for not mentioning in a more timely manner, but:

LJSANTA IS HAPPENING AGAIN THIS YEAR!

L. J. Smith fanfic. You request it, you write it.

It's awesome.

Signups close tomorrow night.

lm — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 05:12:29 GMT

01/28: EVERYTHING HAS NOW SHIPPED!!! As of this morning. Poke me for your tracking info if you're needing it--all domestic orders have tracking. Thanks, and huge apologies again to everyone for the long wait!

01/27 update: More packages went out yesterday evening. At this point there are 7 packages remaining to be wrapped up: boompsy, cinnamic, lejlkwiet, just_the_ash, kelpsoda, lilithsnake6 and edenssixthscent. Two other packages are also still pending: violetblue (Winter Fairy was leaky, so I need to transfer the oil) and 10dimensions (I only just remembered about the White Tea & Sage, so need to fish it out of my stash). I should be able to get everything out before the last pickup today, but those last two may have to go in the mailbox tonight, to be picked up in the morning.

01/25 update: More packages went out yesterday, but not everything. There's still a number of packages that need bubblewrapping etc.

01/20 update: Contrary to what I said below, I did actually end up being able to ship some packages on Tuesday. It was all soap/perfume-only orders. Before I left town I was also able to get all items decanted, and all pending orders portioned out. It's just the packaging left to be done when I get back. I will be home on Saturday and things have been sorted out so I won't have to do this trip again for at least a month. Things will ship between Monday-Tuesday depending on how quickly I'm able to do the packaging. (All the differently-sized items always makes that step a bit tricky!)

01/15 updating: I'm working on getting the remaining items decanted today, but as of right now I don't think I'll be able to have anything mailed Tuesday (tomorrow is a holiday). I am terribly sorry for the long turnaround time on these--right after the holidays, my grandmother (who lives 2 hours away) had major surgery, and she's had some difficulty recovering. My other family members have been taking turns staying with her and helping out, but when there's a gap in care (usually last-minute and unexpected) I've been carting my butt on down there to fill in. On top of my current (large) workload of pottery orders, it's been kiiiiinda a mess. I am leaving town again first thing in the morning and will be gone 1-4 days. As such I'm not entirely sure which day I'll be shipping these. I really appreciate everyone's patience thusfar, and hopefully y'all can bear with me for a few more days :(

01/12 update: HUZZAH! My correct order for the bottles arrived today! I can work on these tomorrow, and probably complete decanting then, but I have a prior commitment all day Saturday--so everything pending for this circle should ship on Monday :)

01/10 update: sorry for not updating again more quickly! There was a snafu with the 1oz/2oz bottles I ordered. The corrected order is en route to me now, and things should ship within 2-3 days after its arrival. I'm sorry for the continued holdup :(

01/02 update: Just an addendum to the below--we are still on schedule for shipping most of these out on the 9th, but those of you who ordered perfume oils from this circle, and are getting your Possets Yules or BPAL Yules shipped separately, will have your BPTP perfumes included with those others and shipped tomorrow.

12/30 update: I just got back into town from holiday festivities yesterday, and the boxes for this circle were waiting for me. I've received everything for this circle, but right now I am hard at work on the Possets Yules and BPAL Yules decant circles, which I'm prioritizing because they arrived first and folks have been waiting really long for the BPALs. After I have those shipped off (Mon or Tues) I can begin work in earnest on these--it's not that big of a circle so it shouldn't take too long. I'm going to be out of town from the 4th-7th (my grandmother is having surgery) but I'm taking these with me. My best guess right now is that these will ship on Monday the 9th, since although I can do the decanting while I'm gone, I can't really feasibly bring all my shipping supplies.

12/20 update: I received CnSes for both of these orders today. Please be aware that starting tomorrow, I will be out of town with family for about a week. I also just received the BPAL Yules, and those will be given priority over these once I return, since those folks have been waiting longer.

12/11 update: I placed this order on 12/06.

PLEASE NOTE!!!!
These decants almost definitely won't arrive in time for Christmas! Aside from the usually-long turnaround time from the Post, I'm going to be spending the week surrounding Christmas (exact dates TBD) with my family and will not be decanting or mailing then.

If you don't have an LJ account, you're always welcome to sign up for my circles by e-mailing me at damon at panavatar dot net.

I am happy to combine shipping with my sale/swap and any other decant circles I happen to run between now and when these goodies arrive.

Terri Windling--beloved writer and editor of countless works of fantasy literature--is having health difficulties and really needs our help. Thus, magick4terri, where you can bid on a huge assortment of AMAZING goodies, all for a very good cause. Or, you can straight-up donate there too.

I'm donating one of my pendants. If you don't have $$ to spare, but have a skill or a creation to share, consider donating that in lieu of funds. Every little bit helps!

(Now I kinda have to pare down what I'm bidding on...there are so many awesome things!)

possets: yule decant circle!

lm — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 23:49:49 GMT

01/06 update: Just a note (and apology) that apparently I accidentally labeled round 2 of decants with "BPAL" instead of "Possets." All of the scent names and descriptions are correct, just not the perfumer's name. Sorry folks, and sorry Possets!

01/04 update: Confirming that, as of last night, virtually all packages not waiting on the BPTP Yules have been shipped out. I do have a handful of packages still in-progress, though. This could be because you made a last-minute addition, because one of your decants needs replacing due to a leak or screwed-up label, or other such randomness. Following is a list of those orders still in stasis: tailoredshirt, rayvn1, karnerblue, rachel2205, _ice_lady_, squidthief, roogna13, violetclove, pinkdot25, sarahahas, acciochocolate. I will get those shipped out ASAP, but be aware that I'm going to be out of town for the next 3-4 days, helping my grandmother while she recovers from surgery. I'll be theoretically able to mail/work on stuff while I'm with her, but no guarantees that I'll find the time!

01/02 update: Just confirming that (nearly all of) these are getting put in the mailbox tonight, to be picked up by the mailman tomorrow! I have all the orders that just contain decants ready to go now, but those of you who got add-ons or decants in the bottle are still in progress, and may or may not be ready with the rest of these tonight. If not, I plan on still having them shipped sometime tomorrow.

12/30 update: I just got back into town from holiday festivities yesterday (I thought I'd be returning on the 27th, but things came up). These are almost all decanted now, but not ready to ship by any means. I'm sorry I couldn't get them to folks while the sale was still on :( I'm planning on having them all shipped out on Monday.

12/20 update: I shipped all of the round 1 packages today, and also received round 2. Please be aware that starting tomorrow, I will be out of town with family for about a week, and will not have time to get these shipped (or probably get much work done on them) before I leave. I will work hard to get these out to y'all ASAP, and I appreciate your understanding that decanters need holidays too!

12/16 update: I finished decanting round 1 last night, and am labeling tonight. Everything from that round, that's not waiting on round 2, should ship Monday. I received a shipping notice for round 2 a couple days ago, but it hasn't arrived yet!

12/12 update: I'm about 1/2 of the way through decanting round 1. I'm going to be out of town through Wednesday and will resume decanting when I get back!

12/08 update: I placed the order for round 2 today, and also made the labels for round 1--decanting commences tomorrow!

12/07 update: I received round 1 of this circle this evening!

The first round of Possets was ordered on 11/30.

It looks like there'll be a round or two of more Yules, and I'll be decanting those too, adding them to this page as they go live. You can choose then whether to have each batch shipped separately, or all at once.

I probably won't be able to order scents for which I don't get a total of 2-3 full (4-6 half) decants' worth of requests.

If you don't have an LJ account, you're always welcome to sign up for my circles by e-mailing me at damon at panavatar dot net.

I am happy to combine shipping with my sale/swap and any other decant circles I happen to run between now and when these goodies arrive.

*********

Dear Yuletide Santa

lm — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 17:23:32 GMT

First of all, I wanna thank you for writing for me! Yay!

So, first I'll post some general likes/dislikes, and then move onto some specifics for my requests.

Things I Am Into

--slash, het, or gen
--Character development!
--Subtlety!
--Happy relationships that may still externally seem very disfunctional.
--three-dimensional antagonists
--Moral ambiguity.
--Strong women.
--A touch of magic, when appropriate.
--Characters pushed to their limit or breaking point.
--Crisis.
--Wonder.
--Polyamory, i.e. consensual nonmonogamy, when appropriate.
--Media subversion, when appropriate.

Things I Am Mostly Not Into

--Graphic depictions of rape. It can be mentioned, and the consequences dealt with, but I don't wanna read about the act.

--Same as the above, only regarding suicide. Also, please do not write about someone being hanged in your story. This is something I'm really sensitive about, so please don't.

--I like me some romance, but please, no schmoop or PWPs.

--First person + present tense. One or the other is cool, but not both at the same time!

--Spanking as a sexual fetish

*********

Bat Boy! The Musical

I am like the biggest Edgar/Shelley shipper on the planet. I love Shelley. She's one of my favorite characters ever. For the record, I am not particularly interested in or turned on by the incest element, I just consider it kind of irrelevant since they never knew each other. I am particularly interested in the ways that Edgar and Shelley help each other grow as people, seeing the best in each other. I'm also interested in Meredith's weird maternal relationship with them, but to a lesser extent.

I really like the areas of exploration that are left open if, for whatever reason, Edgar does not die at the end of the play. I would be equally as into a "missing scene" fic.

Story prompts that come to mind, which you are not at all expected or required to follow:
--Edgar takes Shelley back to the cave to visit his family.
--Pan comes to visit the two of them again.
--The first time Shelley realizes Edgar drinks blood.

I would be okay with any rating level for this one.

Mary Poppins

Ah, Mary and Bert. What is the deal with them? Are they lovers? Ex-lovers? Or is Bert just in love with her, and not vice-versa? They sure seem like they have a lot of history together--when? What? They're both obviously magical people--how did that happen? Are their powers related, or just coincidentally complimentary?

Somewhere in there is what I want to read about. You could invent a backstory, or just a character study of one or both of them, with maybe some personal insight into their relationship. Or they could go on a trip together, child-free. The important thing to me is that it's about them and not the kids!

I would be down for snogging and implied naughtiness, or not, but definitely nothing more hardcore sexy than that.

***

Donna Tartt's The Secret History

Richard! I love him so. He's one of those characters where I'm just like, "YES! I understand you!"

Anyhow. I feel like so much of the book--the storyline and his relationship with the other characters--is based around the simple fact that they didn't tell him about the bacchanal they were planning, and he wasn't there when it happened. I would love to see how things would get mixed up if he had been there.

I don't need an all-out rewrite of the book after that point (although, you know, if you wanna, I wouldn't say no...)--I'd be happy with one good scene that really showed how this change in events altered everything else, in expected or unexpected ways.

This is the kind of story I've fantasized about writing for years, and never did it because there were so many directions I could go with it.

So I'd like to know what direction you would take instead.

I'd be cool with any rating for this one.

***

Xenogenesis Trilogy

Okay, first up, normally I'm not all that into world building, but this is definitely an exception. I am kinda semi-obsessed with the Oankali and the hybrids and all the changes to the earth, and the living ships and the humans excavating tiny scraps of long-lost cities, and the aliens arriving on a destroyed Earth and spending centuries going "WTF????" re: humanity. And the Mars colony. Pretty much everything about this universe is fascinating to me.

I like Lilith. I like her kids. I like the lost village of inbred holdouts. I like a lot of secondary characters. I'd be interested in new characters too. I'm down for gen, het, slash, whatevs. Or no characters at all, for that matter!

Really, I'd just like a story that is less focused on a single character, and more on the society as a whole, or a group of people (including Oankali in "people" here).

Ideas for topics:
--About people moving to, or on the Mars colony
--About Lo in the years right before the ships leave Earth
--About people on other continents, in other climates
--About the history of the Oankali

bpal stuff: yule decant circle!

01/15 updating: All orders that have not already been sent, are going out sometime this week. I am terribly sorry for the long turnaround time on these--right after the holidays, my grandmother (who lives 2 hours away) had major surgery, and she's had some difficulty recovering. My other family members have been taking turns staying with her and helping out, but when there's a gap in care (usually last-minute and unexpected) I've been carting my butt on down there to fill in. On top of my current (large) workload of pottery orders, it's been kiiiiinda a mess. I'm putting some orders in the mailbox tonight, but am leaving town again first thing in the morning and will be gone 1-4 days. As such I'm not entirely sure which day I'll be shipping the rest. I really appreciate everyone's patience thusfar, and hopefully y'all can bear with me for a few more days :(

01/04 update: Confirming that, as of last night, virtually all packages not waiting on the BPTP Yules have been shipped out. I do have a handful of packages still in-progress, though. This could be because you made a last-minute addition, because one of your decants needs replacing due to a leak or screwed-up label, or other such randomness. Following is a list of those orders still in stasis: tailoredshirt, rayvn1, karnerblue, rachel2205, _ice_lady_, squidthief, roogna13, violetclove, pinkdot25, sarahahas, acciochocolate. I will get those shipped out ASAP, but be aware that I'm going to be out of town for the next 3-4 days, helping my grandmother while she recovers from surgery. I'll be theoretically able to mail/work on stuff while I'm with her, but no guarantees that I'll find the time!

01/02 update: Just confirming that (nearly all of) these are getting put in the mailbox tonight, to be picked up by the mailman tomorrow! I have all the orders that just contain decants ready to go now, but those of you who got add-ons or decants in the bottle are still in progress, and may or may not be ready with the rest of these tonight. If not, I plan on still having them shipped sometime tomorrow.

12/30 update: I just got back into town from holiday festivities yesterday. These are almost all decanted now, but not ready to ship by any means. I'm planning on having them all shipped out on Monday, *but* considering that tomorrow's NYE, it's possible I might not get as much done this weekend as I'm planning on...in which case it may take 1-2 days longer than that.

12/20 update: I received everything for this circle today--yay! I'm starting decanting tonight, but please be aware that starting tomorrow, I will be out of town with family for about a week, and will not have time to get these shipped (or probably get much work done on them) before I leave. I will work hard to get these out to y'all ASAP, and I appreciate your understanding that decanters need holidays too!

12/15 update: I received CnSes for *both* of the orders for this circle today!!!!! Meanwhile, there is still room in many things, but this is the last call!

I placed the first order on Nov 11th and the 2nd on Nov 16th.

If you don't have an LJ account, you're always welcome to sign up for my circles by e-mailing me at damon at panavatar dot net.

I am happy to combine shipping with my sale/swap and any other decant circles I happen to run between now and when these goodies arrive.

possets: thanksgivings decant circle

lm — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 08:02:57 GMT

12/02 update: Er, I apparently forgot to mention that nearly all of these shipped on 11/30. Those for jubilee88, tailoredshirt, acciochocolate, and miss_isis_uk are shipping today--I accidentally set them aside when I was mailing the rest.

11/23 update: I finished decanting tonight. Now, portioning and packaging begins. Unfortunately, I'm leaving early tomorrow afternoon to go to my family's Thanksgiving, and won't be able to get this done before I leave, so I will resume work on shipping these on Saturday, when I get home.

11/19 update: I received the bottles for this circle today. This circle is now closed to new signups. If you haven't paid, please do so ASAP. I'm printing the labels for these tonight, and starting decanting tomorrow.

This decant circle is for all of the Thanksgivings, and the last chapter of Dark Matter--including the returning OAR Kitties and Pies, the three new scents, Bliss, Sorrow, and Save Me From Myself.

I probably won't be able to order scents for which I don't get a total of 2-3 full decants' worth of requests. I'll definitely be ordering anything with an asterisk (*) after the title.

Please note that I redid the math after the last decant circle, and since Fabienne's bottles aren't quite as full as they used to be, I've had to raise the decant prices to $2.50 (from $2.40) to compensate. Sorry about that--I hope this will be the last time I have to raise prices for a long while! The good news is, I've decided to now offer half decants as well.

If you don't have an LJ account, you're always welcome to sign up for my circles by e-mailing me at damon at panavatar dot net.

I am happy to combine shipping with my sale/swap and any other decant circles I happen to run between now and when these goodies arrive.

I've decided to move my policies, shipping/feedback/payment info etc. to their own page. If you're new to my circles and/or have any questions, I strongly urge you to read through it before signing up!

Half decants are $1.60 each!
Full decants are $2.50 each!

Extras from Me

. jubilee88: 10 wand caps

Believe it or not, I actually had a fic idea this morning.

lm — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 05:31:17 GMT

I was thinking about how L. J. Smith totally dangled the carrot of "I really want to write a more adult, mature version of The Vampire Diaries, and then instead gave us this totally fucked up sexphobic series of sequels instead.

So, I was picturing how many scenes in the original series I could squeeze sex and/or other questionable material into without totally messing up the canon otherwise. And that of course got me thinking about what ways I could do it and totally mess up canon.

This is a slippery slope. But I have at least one scene written--in my head, anyway.

Sigh. Writing for this fandom makes me so depressed nowadays. But being depressed makes me angry, which gives me fire to persevere.

10/22 update: I received the PV stuff 2 days ago, and the Sunburst goodies are already in hand too! I'll have everything parceled out by Sunday and will give people shipping totals as soon as that is done. As soon as your shipping's paid, your parcel will go out! Signups are now closed.

This group order is for goodies from Pilot Vials and Sunburst Bottle.

If you don't have an LJ account, you're always welcome to sign up for my circles by e-mailing me at damon at panavatar dot net.

I am happy to combine shipping with my sale/swap and any other decant circles I happen to run between now and when these goodies arrive.

*********

THE DECANT CIRCLE POLICIES SECTION!

I've decided to move my policies, shipping/feedback/payment info etc. to their own page. If you're new to my circles and/or have any questions, I strongly urge you to read through it before signing up!

*************************************************

PRICES!!!

Imp-sized vials with no pen clip: $0.13 each
7mL plastic pipettes: $0.09 each
5mL round plastic makeup containers: $0.24 each
1 oz. cobalt blue plastic bottles with white flip-top lids: $0.50 each
1 oz. cobalt blue plastic bottles with black atomizers: $0.70 each

I am also happy to add on anything else you want from either store, however, please include a link to the item, and/or copy and paste the name of the item as it appears on the site. For Pilot Vials, your final price for add-ons will include however much it bumps up my shipping from them.

*************************************************

A SPECIAL NOTE ON SHIPPING!

For most orders (i.e. unless you're just getting some pipettes or, like, 10 imps or something) I will be charging you separately for shipping when your package is ready to go out. I'm happy to give you an estimate in advance, but I can't 100% guarantee the final shipping cost. You're welcome to combine shipping with any of my other decant circles, bearing in mind that, the more complicated your package is, the longer it will take me to ship! For combined orders, unless you've already paid for flat-rate and I know these will fit, I will still be giving you a 2nd total for additional shipping.

possets: halloween decant circle

lm — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 22:46:15 GMT

10/25 note: Just a follow-up, that I was feeling pretty sick yesterday and stayed in bed all day, thus missing the post office. Everything for this circle (unless it was combined with another circle that's not ready yet) was shipped today. Thanks everyone!

10/22 update: Signups are now closed for this circle. I received this order 7 days ago, and everything is now decanted. Nearly everything is now also packaged up, and it will all ship out on Monday.

I also want to apologize in advance...the decants in general will be less full than they normally are. Looks like Fabienne has started filling the bottles about 1/2mL less than she used to. It's still above 6mL, so more than she advertises, but still less than I usually rely on for my circles. In future I'm cutting back to 6 slots per bottle again, but for this time around, I had to scrimp a little to get everyone what they ordered. Decants will mostly be at or just a wee bit below label. Apologies!

This decant circle is for all of the new Possets fragrances, including the Halloweens, new OAR Kitties, and States. I'm also tentatively including the returning favorites, but those will probably be dropped if there isn't enough interest. You're welcome to add bottles of anything to my order, too. Please note that I've had to raise my standard decant price a tiny bit ($0.15 per decant) to accommodate the $1 price hike from Possets.

If you don't have an LJ account, you're always welcome to sign up for my circles by e-mailing me at damon at panavatar dot net.

I am happy to combine shipping with my sale/swap and any other decant circles I happen to run between now and when these goodies arrive.

bptp stuff: halloweenie update decant circle!

lm — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 21:29:23 GMT

01/17 update: Apparently a couple of those soap orders got sorted into the "combined with BPTP Yules" box on accident. They shipped today!

01/02 update: Just confirming that these are getting put in the mailbox tonight, to be picked up by the mailman tomorrow!

12/30 update: I'm so sorry again for the delay on these. I just got back in town from Christmas festivities. They'll be shipping out on Monday, unless you requested they be combined with the BPTP Yules, which won't be ready to go for a bit longer.

12/20 update: ...I totally haven't shipped the soaps yet. I'm sorry for the additional wait. I've been swamped with work ever since I got back from vacation on the 13th, and just got caught up today. I won't have another mailing day until after Christmas, but as of today these are sliced and the labels are ready, so they'll be going out ASAP.

12/10 update: Not sure what the holdup was, but I just received the soaps today.

12/02 update: Just a note, for those still waiting for those missing soaps, that I got a CnS from the Post today!

11/21 update: All remaining parcels shipped today. I also ordered the pending soaps over the weekend, and all who requested soap refunds should have gotten them now. Please let me know if not. Thanks!

11/19 update: Just wanted to check in and let folks know that nearly all the stragglers have now shipped. The only packages I have remaining are emma2403, annaham, faerheart, keller, kittenmorag, boompsy. They're all ready to go--since Friday afternoon--but between my illness (which is finally clearing up) and the pouring rain today, I didn't make it to the post office before the 2pm cutoff. So, Monday for those!

11/16 update: First up, I've been sick for the last couple days (an ear infection that I've had for a week, which suddenly got a LOT worse--I'm mostly functional, but on groggy-making pain killers, thus sleeping a lot and generally taking longer to do things than I normally should) so if you've commented and haven't heard back yet, sorry :( Because of illness-related stuff, I did NOT make it to the post office yesterday, so everything that would have gone out then, went out today. 62 packages total. Packages that have not shipped yet include:
1. Parcels whose postage I just didn't get printed today in time to haul off to the post office before the last pickup. This includes denorios, edenssixthscent, makahakat, ciaobonefish, historychick49, jules_hoshihito, ealgylden, sylvie6, creamyjade, cat_fiadhaich, rubymulligan, estrella_bonita, pinkdot420, cloudsedge, zoodragon, maledict, ondiney, g_shadowslayer, writes, zibbelcoot, chinkee21. These are going out first thing tomorrow.
2. Parcels that are still waiting on sales stuff I need to pull together: annaham, faerheart, keller, kittenmorag, boompsy. I should be able to have all these ready to go tonight, to be shipped tomorrow, but I'm not 100% sure. If not, they will ship Friday.
3. Parcels that still don't seem to have been paid for. That list includes tinylegacies, ascara, herdivineshadow. If you're on that list, please contact me and let me know what's up! Thanks!

Thanks again for everyone's patience. I have had some health and family issues over the past month that took up a lot of time and energy, and which I haven't really wanted to talk about, which is the main reason why I couldn't send these (and the BPAL Weenies) more quickly. It's been 1 week since I received the last order from the Post, so all in all I don't think I've done too shabby :)

11/14 update: Nearly all orders that haven't already shipped are going out tomorrow. On the soap front, apologies for not sending the requested refunds thusfar--I've been prioritizing getting everything possible shipped first. I am sending some refunds out tonight, and the rest tomorrow. I really appreciate everyone's patience so far! All orders sent to US addresses will have tracking numbers. If you'd like yours, just ask.

Three things to note:
1. As usual after a large circle, I have a couple of leftover decants that are unaccounted for--namely, 1 half imp Candy Pumpkin and 2 decants of Fig & White Sandalwood. Please take stock when you get your order, and let me know if there is anything missing--or contrawise, if you were sent any full-size decants you didn't order.
2. There was a leakage issue with one of the original bottles of Honey Hair Gloss, that I was storing with the decants while I portioned things out. As a result, some of the labels for those are a bit oil-stained--so please don't assume your decant is leaky just because the label's messy. I figured people would rather get the decants faster than have to wait while I cleaned and reprinted things.
3. This time around, most of the bath oils, room sprays, and hair glosses seem to have issues with oil separation. Please remember to mix well before using!

11/09 update: Checking in to say that I hope to have at least one round of these packages shipped tomorrow. I picked up a bunch of small and medium flat rate boxes today, but not enough to fill all the orders that need them. Hopefully the PO will be restocked with them tomorrow!

ALSO! I am pretty sure I've personally contacted everyone who ordered soaps, but if I missed you, PLEASE READ THIS! I discovered last evening that I kind of, um, epically screwed up. As in, I didn't order any of the soaps except Port Au Prince and the 2 add-on bars of Xmvlzencab and SGA, and didn't realize until just now.Since the soaps are still up on the site, I can easily order them now--and of course, ship them to you separately from the rest of your order--but you almost definitely won't receive them until after they've gone down from the site. Or, I can refund you for them. It's entirely up to you. I'm so sorry about my mistake :(

The above problems with the soaps will not affect shipping. I'll be sending out all packages ASAP, sans the missing soaps--if I don't hear back from you before then, we will sort it out after your goodies have shipped.

11/08 update: As of 11/02, I've received everything ordered for this circle. I now have most things decanted and am working on labels today. There is still a lot of work to do--I expect packaging will take at least 2 days due to all the different components and different sizes of boxes/envelopes required. I'll be prioritizing int'l orders during shipment, to try and help y'all get the stuff before it comes off the site!

Signups are now CLOSED!

The 4 (!!!) orders for this circle were placed on Sept 15th, 16th, 17th, and 19th.

If you don't have an LJ account, you're always welcome to sign up for my circles by e-mailing me at damon at panavatar dot net.

I am happy to combine shipping with my sale/swap and any other decant circles I happen to run between now and when these goodies arrive.

lm — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 08:43:32 GMT

11/19 update: Just wanted to check in and let folks know that nearly all the stragglers have now shipped. The only packages I have remaining are emma2403, annaham, faerheart, keller, kittenmorag, boompsy. They're all ready to go--since Friday afternoon--but between my illness (which is finally clearing up) and the pouring rain today, I didn't make it to the post office before the 2pm cutoff. So, Monday for those!

Also--I ordered the replacement soaps today, and since I have a wee bit of padding in my account again, I'll be issuing the requested refunds ASAP.

11/16 update: First up, I've been sick for the last couple days (an ear infection that I've had for a week, which suddenly got a LOT worse--I'm mostly functional, but on groggy-making pain killers, thus sleeping a lot and generally taking longer to do things than I normally should) so if you've commented and haven't heard back yet, sorry :( Because of illness-related stuff, I did NOT make it to the post office yesterday, so everything that would have gone out then, went out today. 62 packages total. Packages that have not shipped yet include:
1. Parcels whose postage I just didn't get printed today in time to haul off to the post office before the last pickup. This includes denorios, edenssixthscent, makahakat, ciaobonefish, historychick49, jules_hoshihito, ealgylden, sylvie6, creamyjade, cat_fiadhaich, rubymulligan, estrella_bonita, pinkdot420, cloudsedge, zoodragon, maledict, ondiney, g_shadowslayer, writes, zibbelcoot, chinkee21, emma2403. These are going out first thing tomorrow.
2. Parcels that are still waiting on sales stuff I need to pull together: annaham, faerheart, keller, kittenmorag, boompsy. I should be able to have all these ready to go tonight, to be shipped tomorrow, but I'm not 100% sure. If not, they will ship Friday.
3. Parcels that still don't seem to have been paid for. That list includes tinylegacies, ascara, herdivineshadow, morpheus0014. If you're on that list, please contact me and let me know what's up! Thanks!

Thanks again for everyone's patience. I have had some health and family issues over the past month that took up a lot of time and energy, and which I haven't really wanted to talk about, which is the main reason why I couldn't send these more quickly. It's been a little over 3 weeks since the final order from the Lab arrived, and I expected the turnaround from me to be about 2 weeks, so I'm definitely behind schedule--but not, I hope, obscenely so!

11/14 update: Nearly all orders that haven't already shipped are going out tomorrow. I really appreciate everyone's patience so far! All orders sent to US addresses will have tracking numbers. If you'd like yours, just ask.

NOTE! As usual after a large circle, I have a couple of leftover decants that are unaccounted for. Please take stock when you get your order, and let me know if there is anything missing--or contrawise, if you were sent any full-size decants you didn't order.

11/08 update: I mailed about 15 orders yesterday, and am in the process of bubblewrapping about 25 more right now. A number of other orders are almost ready to go, but I had a small disaster with the Blood Moon and Ta-Ta decants, as well as a few misc. others. (I spilled water all over them, which means all the labels need to be removed, reprinted, and reaffixed.) So some orders are waiting on that. If you got BPTP decants too, and requested separate shipping, I may end up including said in-need-of-repair decants with your BPTP order. Other orders that will be ready in a day or two are those including goodies ordered from my sale, which haven't been rounded up yet, or those combining their shipping with the BPTPs.

Due to the way timing has worked out, I may end up combining the BPAL and BPTP orders for some folks who requested separate shipping. I'll only do this if it causes no delay to either order. If this happens and I don't remember to refund you excess shipping, please nudge me about it!

Also, apologies for not getting these out a bit faster--I had planned to have some helpers this time, for labeling and packaging, but it seems that pretty much everyone (including me) had some unexpected time commitments crop up over the past 2 weeks. Believe me when I say I am working as fast as possible!

10/22 update: I've received all 4 orders for this circle--the last one arrived today! Signups are now CLOSED!

I ordered this in 4 segments, placed on Sept 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th.

If you don't have an LJ account, you're always welcome to sign up for my circles by e-mailing me at damon at panavatar dot net.

I am happy to combine shipping with my sale/swap and any other decant circles I happen to run between now and when these goodies arrive.

The Big Decant Circle Info Page!

lm — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 04:02:54 GMT

I used to include this info at the top of every entry, but I've decided to streamline and keep it here, which'll be linked from every entry.

A NOTE ON TURNAROUND TIME: The turnaround times for different etailers varies. Please check their sites to find out when to (approximately) expect their package to get to me.

Once I receive it, it usually takes me between 1 and 2 weeks to get things decanted/labeled/portioned/packaged/shipped, depending on how large the circle is. This can vary somewhat--I'm self-employed and am occasionally WAY busier than other times. I do my best to get things to you as promptly as possible, particularly LE items, but due to many different possible variables, most of them out of my control, I can't 100% guarantee they'll get to you before a given etailer takes them down from their site.

SHIPPING RATES: 6 decants = 1oz, 1 5mL = 1.1oz.

US or Canada:
1oz = 2.75 ($4.00 CA)
2oz = 2.75 ($4.25 CA)
3oz = 2.75 ($4.50 CA)
4oz = 3.00 ($4.50 CA)
5oz = 3.00 ($4.75 CA)
6oz = 3.25 ($4.75 CA)
7oz = 3.50 ($5.00 CA)
8oz = 3.50 ($5.25 CA)
9oz = 3.75 ($6.00 CA)
10oz = 4.00 ($6.00 CA)
11oz = 4.00 ($6.00 CA)
12oz = 4.25 ($6.00 CA)
US items over 12oz are shipped via Priority, and I'll need to look up pricing to your zip code.
I'll have to quote individually for larger Canadian orders.

Everywhere else:
1oz = 4.00
2oz = 5.00
3oz = 5.75
4oz = 6.50
5oz = 7.25
6oz = 8.00
7oz = 8.75
8oz = 9.50
9-12oz = 11
13oz-1lb = 12.75
After this, I'll have to look up pricing.

Delivery confirmation is always included for US packages.
If you want insurance, ask me--pricing is based on your order's total & your country, and is between $1.10-$2.20. I include insurance automatically, and free of charge, on all orders over $100.

COMBINED SHIPPING: I'm happy to offer you combined shipping if you sign up for more than one circle or also order stuff from my sale/swap page. Just ask. In addition, sometimes multiple circles arrive all at once, when I thought they would arrive weeks apart. In that case, I may combine shipping for items that you paid to ship separately. If that's the case, please let me know and I will refund or credit you for the difference.

FEEDBACK: My bpal_feedback is here. I'm "panavatar" on the forums. I've been doing decant circles since 2005. I am very bad at remembering to leave feedback for people so please feel free to ask me if you want me to leave it for you.

EXTRA ITEMS: If you would like for me to throw in any extra stuff to ANY of my orders for you, I will be happy to do so, and it will usually be the price of the item, plus shipping from me.If it boosts me into a higher, more expensive shipping bracket, I will ask you to pay the difference as well.

PACKAGING: I use new standard-sized Pilot vials with no pen clip. Although I use recycled materials whenever possible, I generally use brand-new bubble mailers for convenience on my end. I'd really appreciate it if you could try and reuse the mailers you get from me for future swaps or other mailing needs. All of your stuff will be wrapped in more padding too.

LABELS: I use white standard-sized labels. If I have time, I will make special computer-printed labels with the notes included, but if it's a choice between doing that and getting you your order faster, I will handwrite the labels instead.

FREEBIES: I almost always include freebies with my packages unless I'm totally out of anything. I include things like perfume, stickers, etailer schwag, and occasionally tea or candy. I am NOT currently taking requests for specific empty bottles because it tends to really complicate things

PAYMENT: Payment is required on or before the order date, or your order will be cancelled. I accept any kind of Paypal, but I respectfully request you cover my fees for the transaction. (I get charged fees for all sales.) I use this calculator to determine what those fees will be. All payments go to damon at panavatar dot net. I do not send Paypal invoices; I will reply to you with a total in the comments . I also accept personal checks, no fees required.

LEFTOVERS: Most of the time I try and wait until everyone has their goodies first, but sometimes I may start selling leftovers within a few days after decanting has completed and/or packages have shipped. It just depends on when I have free time to update my sales/swaps page, honestly.

PROBLEMS: If you have any problems with your order at all, please let me know and I will work with you to find a solution. I really want you to be happy with my circles.

IN YOUR PAYPAL NOTES, PLEASE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
--Your LJ username
--What circle the payment is for
Otherwise it's VERY difficult for me to tell where the payment came from and what it's for!

haus of gloi: candy bowl decant circle

lm — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 05:55:29 GMT

09/12 update: I received these today, and the decants will ship later this week!

If you don't have an LJ account, you're always welcome to sign up for my circles by e-mailing me at damon at panavatar dot net.

I am happy to combine shipping with my sale/swap and any other decant circles I happen to run between now and when these goodies arrive.

Fine Print:

This is my first Haus of Gloi decant circle, and I've only ordered from them once before, but it seems like their turnaround time is about a week. I am going on a camping trip from (roughly) the 24th-31st, and will be placing the order before I go, so it should be here when I get back. It'll take me roughly a week to get these decanted and shipped. I do my very best to get LE decants sent out with time to spare, but nevertheless, I cannot 100% guarantee that they'll arrive in time to sniff and order direct from the source.

SHIPPING: 6 decants = 1oz, 1 5mL = 1.1oz.

US or Canada:
1oz = 2.75 ($3.00 CA)
2oz = 2.75 ($3.25 CA)
3oz = 2.75 ($3.50 CA)
4oz = 3.00 ($3.75 CA)
5oz = 3.25 ($4.00 CA)
6oz = 3.25 ($4.25 CA)
7oz = 3.50 ($4.50 CA)
8oz = 3.75 ($4.75 CA)
9oz = 3.75 ($5.75 CA)
10oz = 4.00 ($5.75 CA)
11oz = 4.25 ($5.75 CA)
12oz = 4.25 ($5.75 CA)
US items over 12oz are shipped via Priority, and I'll need to look up pricing to your zip code.
I'll have to quote individually for larger Canadian orders.

Everywhere else:
1oz = 3.00
2oz = 3.75
3oz = 4.75
4oz = 5.50
5oz = 6.50
6oz = 7.25
7oz = 8.25
8oz = 9.00
9-12oz = 10.75
After this, I'll have to look up pricing, and it's often cheapest to use a small flat rate box, if everything fits.

Delivery confirmation is always included for US packages.
If you want insurance, ask me--pricing is based on your order's total & your country, and is between $1.10-$2.20. I include insurance automatically, and free of charge, on all orders over $100.

FEEDBACK: My bpal_feedback is here. I'm "panavatar" on the forums. I've been doing decant circles since 2005. I am very bad at remembering to leave feedback for people so please feel free to ask me if you want me to leave it for you.

EXTRA ITEMS: If you would like for me to throw in any extra stuff to my order for you, I will be happy to do so, and it will usually be the price of the item, plus shipping from me.

PACKAGING: I use new standard-sized Pilot vials with no pen clip. Although I use recycled materials whenever possible, I generally use brand-new bubble mailers for convenience on my end. I'd really appreciate it if you could try and reuse the mailers you get from me for future swaps or other mailing needs. All of your stuff will be wrapped in more padding too.

LABELS: I use white standard-sized labels. I print them with the scent description, brand, and name, using a combination of computer-printing and handwriting. I try to make my labels both attractive and functional.

FREEBIES: I almost always include freebies with my packages unless I'm totally out of anything. Feel free to request an empty bottle from this circle, but be aware that empties are usually only available if multiple bottles are ordered. Half bottle orders get priority over empty bottle requests. If you order a bottle and a decant from that bottle, I will send the decant in the bottle unless you request otherwise. ALSO! Please request any empties you want before you pay me, as each bottle adds 1.1oz to your shipping weight.

PAYMENT: I accept any kind of Paypal, but I respectfully request you cover my fees for the transaction. (I get charged fees for all sales.) I use this calculator to determine what those fees will be. All payments go to damon at panavatar dot net. PLEASE DO NOT PAY BEFORE I'VE GIVEN YOU AN OFFICIAL TOTAL.. I do not send Paypal invoices. I will reply to you with a total in the comments here. I also accept money orders, cashier's checks, and personal checks, no fees required--just ask.

LEFTOVERS: In the past I've held all my circle leftovers until 3 weeks after all decants were shipped out. Unfortunately, recently I've found it hard to sell many bottles that long after their initial release (and thus make up for any losses I took on the circle). As a result, I may start selling leftovers within a few days after decanting has completed and/or packages have shipped.

PROBLEMS: If you have any problems with your order at all, please let me know and I will work with you to find a solution. I really want you to be happy with my circles.

IN YOUR PAYPAL NOTES, PLEASE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
--Your LJ username
--What circle the payment is for
Otherwise it's VERY difficult for me to tell where the payment came from and what it's for!
