Has anyone heard anything about EW? We were supposed to submit the fics to her for the challenge, I needed more time and emailed her and have not received a response. So now I am concerned about how she is. Especially since her last post was in regard to her health condition not being good.

I really, really hope she's having internet/device issues. (she has had some in the past also) But it's been almost a month since she was last on here, and I didn't get any response from her when I submitted my contribution to the challenge either (22nd September, I was asking her for feedback too). Not even "Thank you" which is really out of character for her. I must admit it is eerily similar to Ame's situation, and we can only hope the outcome is much more positive,

Has anyone heard anything from/about EW? I hope she's okay.

Was just going to ask the same thing... didn't hear back from her after I send my fic. Really worried now...

Still, still, still hoping she's having device/internet issues!

So, I sent an email to EW and got a reply from her sister in law. She has passed away as of September 16. I sent my fic in today and I guess the sister in law got it. I'm at a loss for words here

Hi Stardust, I'm very sorry to hear this. In her last message, it sounded like she was getting better. She was another great person that did a lot for fans and the fandom, and tried to keep everyone interested in a lot of various topics. Thanks for letting all of us know.

Oh, no! That is sad news indeed. I feel like I don't have words to express how much she will be missed.

A great loss to the fandom indeed. I have no words except to say I hope she rests in peace. Thank you Stardust for letting us know.

I spoke briefly with Other Jason last night and he agreed, we should do something to honor her. Also I feel we should finish the fan fic challenge, she would have wanted that.

I am at a loss for words... EW will be sorely missed... her humour was one of the things that lit up this forum. Rest in peace. And yes, let's finish the fan fic challenge, this time in her honour.

Absolutely! Do we want someone who didn't do it to collect them and post them?

That's a good idea -- I'm not volunteering because I took part, but happy to help if needed!

I've put a call over FB messenger for volunteers.

Thank you for stepping up, Mylariu. I've sent my fic. The rules, as we knew them, are here

Sorry, Mylari, but I've had to send my fic by PM, as the email keeps bouncing back. Stardust, I don't believe she had Facebook, I never saw her there.

Hi Mylari! Just sent you my fic, hope you get it. Thanks again for doing this! DT

I apologize for how long it's taken me to post this - my dad's been diagnosed with 2 different cancers and has been in and out of the hospital so life's been a bit hectic for a few months.... I've received 3 fics for the exchange and they have been posted in the writer's block, I'll go put links to them in the original exchange thread also. It's been a while since I've posted anything, so any formatting errors are probably something I did/forgot to do. If anyone else had something for the exchange, just send it over and I'll post it. I'll give it until next weekend to post the identities of the authors.

It's sad news to hear. I'm in shock to hear she passed away. She did a lot for the fandom and kept Gatchamania alive all this time. I imagine her spirit in a majestic firebird flying away with the five birds she loved.

Thanks again Mylari, and all the best to your dad and you in this difficult time!

So sorry to hear about your dad, Mylari. I'm wishing him a speedy recovery.

Been there myself this year with breast, so I get it. I hope it's operable and they get it all. Make sure you rest too.

Am so sorry to hear of her passing. She did so much for this fandom and I always admired her dedication and sense of humor. She will be missed for sure. "I imagine her spirit in a majestic firebird flying away with the five birds she loved." - Ebony that is a really lovely thought indeed!

I'm sorry not to be able to participate in the fic challenge. Family commitments have curbed my writing! I will write EW a short farewell fic with her and the team in the new year. I want to do it well rather than rushed.

I think that's a lovely idea, I may join you in that

OMG I just logged back on after a long absence and I'm devastated to hear that ElectricWhite has passed away. Wishing everyone the best for Christmas. Hold on to the ones you care about. You never know what's around the corner.

Do you have some ideas? I have a few. I mostly pictured her on her computer on the side of the world checking up on her favourite chat group. I kinda wonder if it must have disappointed her at times with no response to all Bradbury Jar challenges she loyally posted. I feel it's a starting place for a story.... I'm soon to start studying again, hopefully over time it will come together.

I got busy, but thanks for the reminder on this. I have a dog show coming up this week so that won't happen soon. I keep having this vision of her in the sky aboard the Phoenix with the gang as she leaves earth for other adventures. I am saddened that this forum has pretty much died along with her.
