Kamerreon deleted her journal and all of her online fandom presence at the end of March 2011 and has left fandom. She gave us all plenty of warning that she was leaving, however, she will be greatly missed.
Kay was a very active writer in the Harry Potter fandom. She would write pretty much any pairing as long as one half was Harry! She was very active in many of the HP fests at both prompting, filling and commenting. Much of her fest work has been deleted along with her journal, however I know that she fulfilled some of her commitments for upcoming fests, so (at time of posting) there is still more to come from her.
Kay was also a very active beta and you will find her name attached to many works here on LJ and elsewhere. When she first offered to beta my work I was scared to death! She's a talented writer and she knows her stuff and the thought of her checking over my work was nerve-wracking. I had no reason to worry; she was quick, thorough and very honest without being cruel, just what I needed.
I don't know what else to say, other than that this fandom has lost a great presence, a lovely lady with a kind heart and a talent for storytelling. She is also a good friend. All we can hope for is that one day she will return to us. Her reasons for leaving are her own, but I like to think that at some point she will be reading this obituary and picking holes in my grammar - diplomatically of course!
A recent example of Kay's work can be found
here at
dracotops_harry and if you go exploring other fests you will find other works that were not linked to her journal remaining.
Lastly, Kay is a published author (details
here). She is still actively pursuing this, so if you liked her fanfic, check this out.
