For badtyler
I just found out the worst kind of news, and want to share it hear for those on my Flist who may not already know. Our kind friend, talented writer and consummate wit, Mollie Tom, known to most of us here as badtyler, passed away two weeks ago. I'm as shocked and devastated as anyone else who knew her must be. I can't even really fit my head around it.
When I first "met" Mollie, we were laughing our way through the old TWoP SVU thread, throwing around virtual bottles of Jack Daniel's and marriage proposals with gusto. She was one of the most heralded fan-ficcers on the Red Thread, weaving together such vivid images as Casey endlessly churning butter and "wonton" hussies. She was a talented humourist, a kind friend and a reliable ray of light on a miserable day.
Well today is as miserable as they get, so I want to remember all of the goodness she has brought to my life and that the memories of her will continue to do. Throughout the years that I have known her, she has never ceased to make me smile--and laugh out loud, and I hope that I can still hold on to those moments in the harder days to come.
You are already missed, my friend. See you in the next go around.
