Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Deena posted on the Drollerie Press LJ that she was shutting down the press due to her ill health. Apparently she's lucky to manage an hour out of bed a day, and with the kids and everything she's got far more important things to cope with than Drollerie.
God, I was so hoping she was getting better. Her LJ post said she'd be unable to answer any emails. I hope she can get disability of something.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm older than you, I'm pretty sure. This was something like '76-80. Sometime very soon after that he switched to something that either didn't involve the magnetic tape reel or that did but did it somewhat faster.

And, oh, God, Deena. That's deeply awful.

Oh no, Deena! I'm so sorry to hear that.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Oh, no. Poor Deena. I knew I hadn't seen her around in eons, but I had no idea...

That's terrible about Deena. Is there anything we can do?

Oh, I didn't realize it was that bad. Poor Deena.

She's had several surgeries over the last couple of years, and I think there was a gall bladder or something removed. There's been very little word in several months, and I've stopped sending emails because I don't want to add to the burden.
A lot of the authors who worked with Drollerie are being moderately pissy because "she should have gotten us word somehow, this isn't how you run a business, etc." There for the grace of God go you, nitwits.
If anyone deserves a miracle, it's her. I don't know of anyway to contact her other than email. I can only assume the mailing address I have from a few years ago is still good. I'll dig that up and send a note, perhaps that will at least cheer her up a bit.
