Bio
There are at least two Cecilia Tans who are published authors. One writes thai cookbooks. I'm the one who writes baseball, science fiction, erotica, and other stuff. I'm the author of White Flames: Erotic Dreams,, the editor of Sex in the the System, the editor of Bombers Broadside, the author of The 50 Greatest Yankee Games, and so on and so forth.I started this LJ mostly as a way to keep track of all my other LJ friends, as I already have my own personal website at www.ceciliatan.com., where there is tons of bio stuff, photos, essays, et cetera. This is probably the best place to keep up with updates, though, at least until I install a blog on the site itself. I'm also on MySpace, Twitter, Facebook, etc...

Friending Policy
It's totally cool for you to friend this journal. No really. But just know I'm scattershot at friending back. I try to actually figure out if I know someone before I friend back, and sometimes I just can't figure out who you are. Other times I'll just space. I'm lame about keeping up with my flist anyway, so even if I friend you back, I might miss the majority of your posts. Please do not take it personally if you don't get friended back or if it seems like I never read your journal. (Hell, I don't even read my own email.)
My Other Sites and Blogs
- My main web site is www.ceciliatan.com but I've been extremely lax about updating it now that I've got a LiveJournal.
- I have an online baseball magazine called Why I Like Baseball. I'll probably be revamping that site to WordPress soon, if I can figure out one or two other things.
- Circlet Press, my small publishing company, has a recently revamped blog and site , whose URL is currently velderet.circlet.com/circletblog/, but which will probably be swapped to just www.circlet.com soon.
- I also write Harry Potter fanfic to amuse myself and my fellow fans, under the name Ravenna C. Tan. It's not a big secret, though I do not often reveal to people who discover me through HP fandom that I write and edit erotica professionally. The reason for this is that I would not like to be the test case of when the trademark/copyright lawyers decide that by somehow gaining readership for my professional smut, I am therefore writing fanfic for commercial/monetary purposes. I'm not, but they may not see it that way. So I do not tell folks who know me as Ravenna that they can run out and buy stuff by me under another name. besides, the whole point of my enjoyment in fanfic is that it is NOT a professional obligation, I do it for pure fun and want to keep it that way.
- My Amazon wish list
What else?
I'm notoriously bad about keeping up with my email--even with all the spam and mailing lists filtered out, I had over 3000 unread messages in 2005, and over 5000 from 2006. As for how many I answered? I'm pleased to say I'm running about even: just over 5000. Again not mailing lists, just regular email for me and from me. In other words, I get about 50% of my email. The rest, I will never see until someone makes 48 hours in the day. So, if you emailed and didn't get an answer, the highest likelihood is that it's in the 50% of messages I will never even see the subject lines of.
