I didn't need to see this.

I visited Forry's house when I was 15 years old - and it was incredible then. And this is exactly what I had hoped wouldn't happen.

A San Diego newspaper. Didn't even make the Los Angeles Times, did it?

Fucking Los Angeles. We hate everyone. And we eat our dead. Alive.

Don't know if it made the LA Times or not -- I got the link from Teresa Nielsen Hayden via a mailing list.

I always wanted to go take the grand tour. I HAVE gotten to meet Forry at a few cons, and he's a wonderful man.

Yeah. :(

I put this in my journal awhile ago, and [livejournal.com profile] chipuni gave me Forry's mailing address so I could write him a letter.

A.

I don't know him and didn't know of his collection either - but I still think it is a very sad thing to have happened.

*hugs*

This is a fucking crime against humanity. I'm shocked - amazed - that the SFWA didn't try to at least do something - a fundraiser, anything. If they did, I never heard about it.

And ASFA didn't either, I guess. Sigh.

That has to be the saddest thing I've read in days. Argh.
