A few people have mentioned a few odd issues with the forum. This post is an FYI that the site software has been updated. I’m hoping that will take care of the issues.

Also, I ran a few utilities to clean up and update the database. Just to be on the safe side.

The update in software reset the forum Moderators setting. Sorry for that, all you wonderful Moderators!

Now reset. Forum mod powers should be back.

In Remembrance of Holly Lisle: Writer, Teacher, and Inspiration It is with great sadness that I share the news of…

  I’m so sorry to hear this. She was a beacon of writing hope for me, as for so many others, for many years.

  My condolences to Holly and her friends and family. I was a member here back in (I think) the late 90s-early 00s when I was writing my first SF novel, and Forward Motion welcomed me in with open arms, including Holly herself. I learned so much in the time I spent here, and I’m glad to say that that wonky little novel turned into a self-published trilogy and the start of a self-publishing career. And on top of all that, I do in fact still pay it forward by going to cons to help those just starting out. Holly was such a great inspiration in that respect and she will be missed.

  The news was so sad.
  I am thankful Holly touched so many lives with her writing and teaching.
  I have all her writing courses to read through again and again to learn something new to add to my stories.
  And I can reread Holly’s novels and keep in touch with other writers on her forum and here.

  I have spent several days trying to find the right words to say. Holly and I knew each other since 1992 when I started her Writer’s Digest class. From her first note to me to her last, Holly was unwaveringly kind and helpful. I followed her to online sites and created her first personal site.
  
  Holly did two things very well: she wrote wonderful books and helped people take their writing to higher levels. Those of us who worked with her are better for it.
  
  I miss Holly. I always looked forward to her new books. I checked constantly for new notes. This is a loss I cannot begin to express.
