Sorry I couldn't log in online sooner to hear and relay this news:
We regret to hear that Trisha aka
simons-flower has passed away this month. More info may be found at the
captains_pitch starting with the
Aug 5 2009 entry.
Thanks to
1Scout and
avidbeader for
telling us in Portkey. PK's has had the pleasure of hosting some of
Trisha's stories. She had also put more of her fanfics in other sites including
her own. Our prayers go out to her family.
EDIT (after
demosthenes91's comment below), we'd also like to send out prayers to FenrisWolf's (Brian) family. Gosh, two fandom members in a week.
I've also just come across similar announcements posted in Portkey forums
here and
here.
