Bwaaah.
I've been a posting non-entity lately and this is an awful way to pop back in, but if you haven't heard, Stuart Carroll, AKA Minotaur,
is gone.
He was one of the most influential members of slash fandom. When I first stumbled into the Net in the late 90s, everybody linked to his tips on writing gay sex scenes, and he saved a lot of us from the really egregious newbie mistakes that come back to haunt you years later.
I never met him. I wish I had. He sounds like he was a hell of a guy.
