My contact information:

AIM: valentinitesarah or antimonysarah
Email: valentinite at livejournal dot com
Personal LJs: valentinite (fandom/gaming), antimony (mundane life).
Backup email (if LJ forwarding breaks): antimonysarah at yahoo dot com

I'm most likely to be consistently available in the evenings (7-11 pm, EST/EDT) and on weekends (various hours). I can tag by email over lunch/breaks at work sometimes, and can email about plot/planning more readily. (I work long hours and commute by pubtrans. Though they're supposed to be putting wifi on the trains...)

FYI: I'm fairly shy about contacting people out of the blue (yeah, yeah, join the club), but if I'm on, I'm always willing to talk. (If I'm away/invisible/idle/just-not-replying on AIM, email is probably a better contact method because I can check it from more places, including work, and my machine shuts AIM off when it goes into powersave, without necessarily saving received-IMs.)

NOTE: I am not a biochemist. If I EVER get the science wrong (or miss something obvious), please let me know. Or, heck, if you think there's something cool he might come up with. Especially if there's still time to fix it. S.T. is supposed to be damned good at chemistry, biochem, and being MacGuyver-ish in improvising things.

SECOND NOTE: He will, occasionally, say (or internal-monologue) things containing ethnic stereotypes, sexist things, and possibly mild homophobia. These do not reflect my views, and I hope no-one is upset by them. I only do it because he does do it canonically, several times. He gets called on the sexism a couple of times and brushes it off; he never gets called on the stereotyping. He never means anything overtly racist/sexist by it; he just hasn't examined his own internal prejudices, and I think that if he ever seriously did, he'd stop. Once he'd actually been convinced to see the problem. Basically, he's your stereotypical liberal privileged white guy who thinks he's past racism and sexism because he's a liberal.
