Over the Thanksgiving holidays tv_elf a longtime member of the Forever Knight community and friend to many passed away.
I didn't know Abby but if there is anything that has become clear as I went through my f-list and their f-list, is that she was truly a remarkable person who touched a lot of lives.
I first became familiar with Abby via the birthday Forever Knight fic she wrote brightknightie last year called " Things Unsaid". There were so many elements in that story that were incredibly satisfying. There are so few sources of FK fic nowadays, 12 years after cancellation, but here was a story that took the events of "Last Knight" and ran with it in a truly unique way. I loved the visual she presented of the long deceased Schanke selling Nick boxes of candy bars so that his daughter Jenny could pay for a school trip. Here also was big, bad vampire LaCroix serving as a father figure to Jenny as she grew up, but at the same time "Uncle Luke" never lost the edge that made LaCroix such a memorable character. Abby weaved all that complexity and more in such few words. Not only was it a gift for brightknightie but excellent fic is a gift to everyone who reads it.
Forever Knight has such a small presence on livejournal. Many of those on LJ may have known tv_elf via her quirky penguins Vividcon 06 vid entitled " I Walk the Line" It's cuteness a plenty!
