I still can't believe she's gone. It's going to take me awhile to get used to not talking to her, to not seeing her sign her comments with hugs and love
( ... )
When I first met Megan, I didn't think we were going to make it as friends. She was just so.... passionate about everything. And I didn't help matters either. I can be very... passionate also.
But it was our differences that actually brought us together. We were two very different people who somehow forged a lasting friendship. Even though she is gone from this world she will always be my friend.
I was a new friend. I think we friended one another after participating in one of those friending memes. I always enjoyed seeing her posts come across my f-list. I still do, one of the reasons it's hard to believe she's gone.
I'm particularly going to miss her tips, whether for life or for graphics. They were always useful.
At least once a day I find myself thinking something like "what would Megan think of this icon? Oh, wait, I can't show her" or "I won't make her laugh ever again."
When I first "met" Megan, she had filled my inbox with LJ notifications. She commented on every single Willow/Spike story that I had ever written and her words were genuine and meaningful. She loved the way I wrote Willow/Spike and always made sure that I knew that
( ... )
I wonder if we could post Megan's plot bunny list to this community and encourage the fic writers to bring those bunnies to life.
That's a great idea, thank you for the suggestion! The other option is to do a post with a link to that list so it sends people back to Megan's original prose
ETA: I just noticed/rememebered that a link to the plot bunny list is in this community's profile but it wouldn't hurt to link to it in a post. I'll see to that. http://pickamix.livejournal.com/251128.html
And thank you so much for commenting here, sweetie; I know the loss hit you hard.
I'm not quite sure how to end this because it's hard to think of the right words.
I think your words are perfect. And please don't be afraid to come back and add more comments or thoughts if want to - if you just need to talk.
I did not know her long but she was very kind and sweet and she will be forever missed in our hearts she had amazing ideas and was a true joy to talk to

*nods* I was looking forward to many more conversations with her - about racism, sexism, the lack of diversity in fandom, sexuality, digital art, all sorts of subjects. And damn she could be so incredibly witty. Making her laugh in return felt like an accomplishment.
I am happy I got know her then not know her at all
Very wise approach.
We were enemies for a year, antagonists (I think we were too much alike, both passionate and stubborn) and then eventually and only within the last year were we truly friends - because she approached me and wanted to try again. I can regret time wasted but I'd rather marvel that we became friends at all and appreciate that.

THIS describes my relationship with her to a T.
I'm not sure it's sunk in yet.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
