      This week has not been so good in the science fiction world.

      Ann Crispin, of Star Trek and Writer Beware fame, has been fighting a protracted battle with cancer (revealed in 2012), and just announced that it is not going well.

          And StarBridge! Yes, the first thing I read by her was Star Trek (Yesterday’s Son), but it was far from the last. :( My heart is breaking.

            Cancer just needs to die already.

              Yes, cancer needs to die already. So does death. And someone needs to run a stake through the heart of both corpses. :angry:

                I’m sorry to say, it did not go well at all. (The link is to an obituary that appeared today.) :(

                  How sad. I was hoping she would have a little more time than this. :(

                    I was shocked that she went so quickly. My heart goes out to her friends and family. :(

                    Happy writing,

                      I think she waited to make her announcement when she knew she was out of time. Tying up the loose ends and such. I’m glad she got that chance to do so.
