I just learned that
minotaurs died earlier today;

I didn't know him personally, even in the online sense of "personally," but it was impossible to be involved in slash fandom and not know of him. When I was a new m/m writer I learned a lot from his invaluable (patient, funny, and generally awesome) guide to writing gay sex.
My condolences to those who were close to him.
