I never had much personal communication with ita, so I don't need a keepsake. I will remember her; my new tagline is in her honor.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

ita's thread
A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
"Nothing's forgotten. Nothing is ever forgotten." One of the first evenings I posted rather than lurking, and it was because ita and someone else were talking about former fandoms. Robin of Sherwood was mentioned, and I took the opportunity. ita shushed everybody else for a minute so she could think about the quote I posted.
Thank you, Toddson, for reminding me.
I would love a tiny keepsake--rock, as someone said, or a sketch.
In that vein, I do love that Io9's Odeck has locked her column in memoriam. I know that LJs used to go on pretty indefinitely, but I think the limit now is inactive two years and LJ deletes. I think Tumblrs just sail on forever, but I don't know about Deviant Art. I'm hoping somebody has passwords or admin for LJ and Deviant Art. It would be wonderful to lock those accounts as memorials, so that people who discover her art, either in a fic rec, or just stumbling across it, would be able to know why she stopped posting, and her work would still be accessible.
I provided H with two names and email addresses some time ago. Those two people between them have passwords for my accounts here, at DW, both LJs, and Ao3. Maybe ita did the same?

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
So glad to hear the packing up is easier than expected.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Can't you get an LJ put in memorial status?

Glad the packing isn't as wrenching as feared.

And I think for sherrold, as well. That was what I was hoping for.
I'm glad the apartment clearing isn't as difficult as had been expected.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I found an ankh for you, Jilli.
