Friends Only

[jo_anne_storm]

This journal has become friends only.  At some point I'll add a nifty graphic. 

Comment to be added, etc.



Edit:  Just to let you know, I'm picky about who I add.  Call me paranoid.  I will not add someone who friends me unless I know him or her from somewhere else or if he or she leaves a comment here to at least introduce yourself.

Fic and art posts will always be unlocked unless I delve into the realms of NC-17. 


Edit2: I have created a fic journal for myself.  All new fanart/fanfic will be housed at icanbecreative .

Hi! I'm Allie, an old fan of your stories - and of MsGordo's, or Karen as she was then. (This isn't really a friending request, per se, but I definitely wouldn't say no to being added!)

I was going through my old bookmarked links the other day, and I came across the one for Freakazoid High. Since it hadn't been updated in so long, I assumed it was abandoned and forgot about it until now. I decided to look and see if Karen had added anymore, or written anything else since then, only to find that she seems to have completely disappeared from the Internet. I even found rumours claiming she'd passed away.

I was quite saddened by this if it was true; she had a real talent. It always lifted my spirits to read one of her fics - I never failed to walk away from my monitor wearing an ear-to-ear grin afterward.

However, since this IS the Internet and the fanfiction community to boot, I didn't want to take a statement from a total stranger's LJ as blanket fact. After much searching, I came across a forum post on TTH that said you had been a beta reader for Karen.

I was wondering if you knew what happened to her? I realise that whatever caused her to seemingly vanish online is none of my business really, so I wouldn't dare ask you to give me the play-by-play. I'd just like to know if she's all right and simply lost interest in fanfiction (which I fervently hope is the case, as much as I wish FH could be finished), or real life interfered and she is unable to concentrate on online things at the moment, or if she has actually passed away.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this, and really, if you don't feel comfortable answering, I understand. :)

I wish I would have told Karen how much I admired her work before; not just in a review. Her fics were some of the few I kept coming back to over and over again.

Regards,
Allie
