there's nothing like a dame
As you've probably heard by now, thamiris has passed away. She was a ballsy, talented lady, a real dame, and I mean that in the absolute best sense, and I was always impressed with the way she used words, not just in her stories, but in her posts, in her comments, in her feedback. I didn't know her well, though we used to converse in comments sporadically, but her presence on my flist - in my fannish life - will be missed.
The obituary is here. Memorial donations in her name are being accepted at the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation, 330 East Columbia Street, New Westminster, B.C., V3L 3W7. Please do NOT use the name "Thamiris" in conjunction with her real name, please; she wished to keep her real life and her fannish identities separate, and we should all respect that wish.
I feel like there should be porn in her honor, dirtyhot and lush, full of linguistic arabesques and joy, the way her posts and stories always were.
