Title: Eugie Foster
Post by: Varda on September 27, 2014, 08:43:23 PM: Not really sure where to put this thread, but I suppose this is a good a place as any. Eugie Foster passed away this morning (http://www.eugiefoster.com/eugie-k-foster-update.htm) from complications related to cancer. She was 42. It's a huge loss for the SFF community, and she was particularly beloved by the podcasting world.

Her last story appeared yesterday at DSF: "When It Ends, He Catches Her" (http://dailysciencefiction.com/fantasy/fairy-tales/eugie-foster/when-it-ends-he-catches-her). It's gorgeous. Go read it.

May I suggest that those be edited to be direct links? And if it's a forum moderator doing so, feel free to delete this post when that's done, rather than reply to it.

Got it, thanks for the heads up!

She was great to work with. It's a terrible loss, and I'm gutted for her family and friends.
