User blog comment:Freefalling Lilacs/Finally Saying Goodbye/@comment-1874924-20180704030325

Hi, Lilac. You were one of my favorite wikians, and I must admit I missed you. I guess I'll have to keep on missing you, but that's as may be. Curiously, and I have no idea how it came up, I was thinking about you just a week or two ago, specifically your reaction to LTDI's hypothermia scene. (I was probably working on the latest chapter at the time, but I don't really remember.)

You told me years ago that you weren't going to finish FYE but were planning a megablog to wrap it up, and here it is at last. You might want to post the episode synopses on the story page as well, which should be enough to stop it ever being deleted as a dead fic.

I remember a blog(?) about the time you stopped writing FYE where you said "Wolf in Teen's Clothing" would have a shocking elimination, and I told you the only elimination that would really surprise me at that point was Sebatsian. Sure enough ... I also mentioned (somewhat earlier, I think) that I was hoping Allison would go all the way. Well, she didn't, but she was runnerup. Close enough for government work, I suppose.

Almost from the beginning, we were great admirers of each other's stories, undoubtedly due in part to our having similar ideas about what makes a good story. FYE and LTDI (which I don't imagine you're still reading) had quite a few curious and coincidental similarites, presumably from great minds thinking alike, and I noticed more in the synopses of FYE's unfinished episodes. By the by, I'm still planning to have an aged-down Elena cameo in LTDI's Playa de Losers episode, as we discussed way back when. And no, the premise of the upcoming Total Dramarama (God help us all) has not deterred me in this.

I've left you a few messages on your Tumblr page over the years, as a guest because I don't have an account, so it's been one-way communication perforce. That's as may be, I wanted you to know that at least one person on the wiki hadn't forgotten you. It seemed that you went dormant for a while, but it's good to know you're still active there. I'm not sure when I last messaged you ... when my father passed away, perhaps? That was about a year and a half ago.

Be assured I'll remember you. May Fortune smile on you.
