So Sad...

[roxy]

Last week, I was at thamiris's website, reading her stories,and thinking what a wonderful writer she was, and what a fascinating person. Today, I come home and read the news,and I feel like I lost something special. I didn't know her, I just lurked at her journal, and enjoyed the way her mind worked. She was a unique person, the kind of people that SV attracted in the day. I know she'll be deeply missed. THis is very very sad news.

Yes--suzvoy has a link to the obituary, I think.

She will definitely be missed. She was such an amazing writer, but even more than that, a remarkably warm and welcoming and generous person. I didn't know her well at all--mostly, like you, I lurked and admired her from afar--but I feel completely devastated.

Oh, I feel that way too, I thought I was being ridiculous because I didn't know her personally, but I just want to cry and cry....

[norwich36.livejournal.com]

I can't stop crying, and I had that same feeling of inauthenticity (I barely knew her, on a personal level), but on the other hand, she was so much what I aspired to be: an unbelievably brilliant writer who brought an amazing creative eye to fic and to meta, and someone who just created an atmosphere in her journal where everyone truly felt welcomed, and where people had the most passionate and interesting discussions. I just can't believe she's gone, and I'm so damned angry at the universe right now.

I'm trying to keep it together because I'm at work, but this just makes my heart sick. I can't believe it. Ever since she announced that she had cancer, I prayed for the best for her. F*cking cancer.

I know, my people are looking at me like I'm crazy but it's just making me so sad. *hugs you so hard*

*hugs you back*

Woah, Roxy. Woah. I think I've known of you and Thamiris the same amount of time. It makes me glad your own my flist. It feels really strange, because for good or bad, Thamiris was the cornerstone of a lot of my fandom...beginnings? I got an LJ because I saw that she had one...this is strange, because she was always Thamiris.


...not this older professor woman with breast cancer. It makes me feel...strange, that I didn't know her better.

yeah, when I first starting reading SV, she was one of the writers that made me crave to read everything I could in SV, and then made me want to add my two cents to the fandom...she seemed to enjoy everything so much and when she talked about SV, it sounded so much better than it actually was. heh. I liked looking at it through her eyes.

this is the first i've heard. i'll go to the obit you link to, above.

*HUGS*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

it's very sad news for SV. *hugs back hard*

[beet]

Wow.
I came to catch up on what you have been up to, and found out about Tham.
So, sad. Thank you for letting us know, hon.

*hugsback* I hopped on after work this evening and found the news on suzvoy's LJ. I really was knocked for a loop.

[matryoshkarose.livejournal.com]

I came home to find the news all over my flist and was just...stunned. She was just so much larger than life, you know. I've been reading through her stories all evening now and it's both depressing and comforting. *hugs*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*hugshard* I think that describes her so well. She wrote such wonderful stories--she seemed to have such zest for life.

[dana-aeryn.livejournal.com]

What a shock. I hadn't heard at all. I loved her stories. I have read Along came a spider and The Rules of Blue so many times. She was a very talented writer.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I can't stop thinking about it and each new post makes me sad all over again.

[petit-rhino.livejournal.com]

She's dead?! I didn't know her personally, but she's an amazing writer.
She will be missed.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

She will. She was a special person--you didn't have to be close to her to see that.

*hugs you tight*

*clings* I'm so sad about it.

I can't even begin to say anything. My God...this really hit home. *Hugs Everyone*
