Coldflash Holiday Card Exchange
Hi! Kat here. Some of you peeps might remember me from writing a bunch of Coldflash fics back in the day. This fandom has always been one of my favorite spots on the internet and holds a special place in my heart. A big part of that is because of the wonderful friends I met here, including @slimysuckers.
(ETA: aka Alexis_Tenshi over on AO3 for anyone who didn’t follow her here on Tumblr but still read her fics)
Slimy was one of my dearest fandom friends, a constant inspiration, and my salty sister. It’s a silly nickname we called each other because we loved to fuss about all the whack stuff on the shows (cough cough Oculus cough) and we had the best chats. We exchanged gifts and Christmas cards, talked about meeting IRL one day, but sadly I know now that’s not going to happen.
For those of you who don’t know, Slimy passed away in March. She’d been diagnosed with probable ALS, the same disease that her mother died from at a very young age, and we were just talking about it in late February. Less than two weeks later, she was already gone. I didn’t understand why she wasn’t answering my messages and thought she was busy. It wasn’t so unusual for us to go a little while without talking. But I found out yesterday that she’d died, and I’m pretty devastated.
I really, really miss my friend. <333
After reaching out to some other Coldflash peeps I still chat with, I decided I wanted to do something for Slimy. I want to organize a Christmas card exchange in her honor because getting her cards year after year was always such a treat. I treasured every single one, and even more so now.
I’m making this post to 1) let people know of her passing who might not be aware and 2) gauge any interest in participating. So, big hugs to everyone and lots of love. Let me know if any peeps are out there that want to join in.
