A Snowball In Hell - Periwinkle27... in memoriam

Fandom: The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Genre: Gen
Length: Short

Author Website: LJ and elsewhere
Why this must be read:

Periwinkle passed away this week, the result of a head on collision, and the news of this sad event has just reached us here on LJ.  Susan will be missed, but her wit and stories will remain.  This one is a very short little bit that speaks volumes, I think, about how she viewed the fandom and its main duo.  It's brief and snarky, and somehow seemed just right for logging a memory of someone who brought so much to the MFU family and fandom.  The title is also wildly ironic, and reminds me all the more of her propensity for humor and love of Weird Al Yankovic.
We bid her adieu as she embarks on the next part of her journey.

What a sweet, short story and a lovely way to remember Susan. That was very thoughtful of you.

What a great little story; a good rec and I'm sorry I won't be able to let Periwindle know I enjoyed it.

I only knew her through her recommendations here, and she did her usual stellar job only last month. My heart goes out to her family and friends and to your entire fandom. You have truly suffered a huge loss. Farewell, Susan.

She left a legacy here on LJ, something for which we can all be grateful.

I'm glad you and the others think so. Perhaps her spirit was leading ;)

I started reading just a few years ago, one of the quiet hungry that devour the wonderful stories that you all write. One that stood out was Periwinkle. I loved those stories - they welcomed me and entertained me with wit and humor and wonderful characters. And as I tried to find my way through the myriad of fan sites, her name kept showing up - a familiar welcome sign. I am so sad but her stories will live with me always.
