I'm not sure if this is an appropriate place to post this, but I knew of no other place. Several authors here came originally from OurCastle, run by Apps, a.k.a TheGhost or TheCenturion. I received word yesterday that he had passed away.
He was old-fashioned, often cantankerous, and held some of the most outrageously sexist opinions I have ever heard, but he was also kind and generous, and gave many struggling writers encouragement and help. He was fiercely protective of his 'Ladies' or 'gels' as he would say.
I have very fond memories of a holiday spent at Lake George with Apps, eve, ruegirl and flowerchild. among others.
Rest well, my friend, and may your Heaven be full of Victoria Best and spankable bottoms. |
