I didn’t sleep very well last night; I guess my mind still couldn’t process the fact skywardprodigal is gone.

I first learned of skywardprodigal when she was ebonbird and writing/maintaining Ororo/X-men fiction.  I thought it was glorious and I was so sad when there hadn’t been any more production.  But I’d never spoken to her. I was still new in the fandom business (didn’t even know ( Read more... )
