Having checked the FAQ, it appears the Author Search function (which one uses to find other authors and add them to their Buddy lists) is now being disabled during high-use periods in order to make the site run faster. It is very slow this year, particularly in the afternoons here in the UK, i.e. when the US and Canada come online, so I can't access it right now, but as soon as I can, I'll add you. It will probably get better as November goes on, as people decide this is not for them and start dropping out. (I'm hoping this will not include me. *winces*)

You'd need to do the same thing to add me, I think, unless one of your writing buddies has me on their list - if I recall correctly, you can link to me that way. I have roseganymede on mine, for example (although she's not writing this time), but unfortunately she doesn't have you on her buddy list, so I can't link to you from there...
