Any objections if I swear in here?

[conuly]

Fuck no.

[chanter1944]

In that case, goddammit, another one?! :(

[shadowkat]

What???

[conuly]

Yup.

[sovay]

This was not a good year for it.

[conuly]

I KNOW.

[kyrielle]

Ah, no. :( :( :(

[conuly]

I was completely not ready for this, dammit.

[conuly]

Nor was I. I was shocked when she semi-retired.

[flexagon]

Yup.

Wow I'm really not okay.

[conuly]

I know.

We still have her words, and as long as they're kept alive they'll never die.

Or, in the words of another Master:
"No one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away..."

[conuly]

Well said.

[imhilien]

She will be missed. :(

[mab_browne]

Damn it. Yes, she was eighty-eight but still....

[archangelbeth]

O:(

[silveradept]

You know it has to happen sometime, but you're never actually ready for it.

Alas, she was my favorite writer. Rest in peace.
