Lucylooo passed away this morning. She was a smart, passionate, sassy, talented lady who will be missed a great deal.

I knew Lucy first in The Sentinel fandom, when she was writing as Mona Ramsey, though we didn't interact much then. I met her again in popslash when she was reggie_mbq. She was one of the first people to welcome me into popslash, and I remember a lot of fun conversations on AIM, squeeing over pretty boys -- and the excitement of getting mail from her, packages filled with stickers and posters and other bits.

We drifted apart, lost touch, but like so many of the wonderful people I've met through fandom, I never stopped thinking about her; would wonder occasionally how she was doing and what she was up to, and figured at some point our fannish lives would intersect again. I'm so sorry they didn't.

I am immeasurably glad that I knew her, that so many of us knew her, because she stays alive in our memories.

Rest in peace, Lucy. I'm glad you're not hurting any longer. *loves*

I can't stop tearing up. I feel as if part of our lives has gone, and I can't stop missing it, regretting things.

Oh my... this is sad news. I hadn't been LJ friends with her in a long time, but she was one of my first LJ friends back then. I didn't know she was sick. I'm sorry to hear this. She was quite something, fandom lost a great writer and fangirl.

I didn't know her, although the pseuds sound familiar, so I've probably read her work. In any case, I'm sorry for your loss.

Oh no. :( I emailed back and forth with her a little bit many moons ago, when she was writing La Femme Nikita fic as Mona Ramsey. I never knew what happened to her after that pseud disappeared, though. I am so sorry to hear this—my heart goes out to her friends and family.

I didn't know Lucy, exactly, but I read her popslash, and I think we all feel a kinship with a fellow fan. It's a real tribute to her that so many people are saddened by her death.
