Today is a bittersweet day, as we remember and pay tribute to a GA icon, @Comicality.  It's hard to believe it's been a year since he's been gone.  Today would have been Comsie's 50th birthday, so we thought it would be the perfect day to feature the tributes written by his friends and fellow GA authors. 

Comsie was the first author to join GA, when Myr started the site back in 2002.  He garnered quite the following, and he gave back to the site in many ways - mentoring other authors, posting a blog series with writing tips, and participating in site events such as anthologies and contests.  There is so much more to be said, but it would be impossible to list them all. He had a profound impact on his readers and those who interacted with him.  We have ten tributes and stories inspired by Comicality and his writings to share.  There is also something very special posted at the end of this blog, so be sure to check out all the tributes, and the eleventh story featured after them. 

Please share your memories of Comsie in the comments, and join the GA Staff in wishing him Happy Birthday in the great beyond.  Comsie, you are missed!  

Last, but certainly not least, is Comicality's last story.  It has never been published, so we thought it fitting to feature it here.
