Thanks everyone for participating!

You absolutely should. @Comicality fully supported FanFictions of his worlds. He was always encouraging us to write with our hearts. By all means, keep doing so in his honor.

What becomes of Comicality's unfinished stories will be a matter of discussion at some other time.

I have been following Comicality since New Kid in School first showed up on Nifty in 1998. I started exchanging emails with him that long ago. We've been online friends since. When the opportunity arose for me to start Gay Authors in Sep 2002, Comicality was the first author with us. When we opened the forums at the very end of July in 2003, it only took me a few days to get Comicality on the forums. Back then he was on a WebTV... He continued to grow and grow as an author branching out and touching so many lives. It's hard to put into words that sort of friendship we had. The ultimate penpal with 26 years of emailing and chatting. He was so expressive and caring. He took his passion for writing and shared so much with us all through his stories, his articles, his posts, everything. Rest In Peace, my friend.
