Delurking to say how sad and shocked I was to hear this news. Susan
was an amazingly talented writer and seemed to me to be an all-round
gracious person. In the 90's, her fanfic was a perfect point of entry
to fans of the show who were newbies to the world of online fandom and
fan fiction, myself included. I see that she still has a website up
focused on her writing. I hope it's still possible to access her FK
fanfiction somewhere.
Please take care of yourselves and cherish one another, all you old
and new FK fans whose names I only know from this amazing list and
fandom.
Love always,
Laila HaNassi (DNN)

Subject: Rest well, Susan
Just got the digest when I got power back after the storm here in
Cincinnati.
I won't profess to say I knew Susan well. I'm pleased she spent some of
her time with us, enriching our fandom and raising the bar for many of
us who took up the craft of writing. My fondest memory was the one time
I met her, she as a guest of Dragon*Con (for that proper official novel
we all know), and me as just the regular fan that I am. It's always
warmed my heart that she dedicated the book to the lists and that she
greeted me so enthusiastically when we met, as if I'd done something
special to help her along her way.
I will never forget her vast contribution to our fandom, our FK family,
and I too shall miss her dearly. Whoever is in touch with her family,
please forward my condolences on their loss, and my offer of support,
should they need it.
Jaye,
List Founder.

Subject: Susan Garrett...
Having been involved in some capacity in the fandom/list since the tail end
of the show, I was shocked to see this today. Susan had such an enthusiasm
for the fandom and its characters, as well as the other fans who supported
it.
Her contributions to said fandom, including her fan fiction, her tireless
work with the Wiki page, and her having published "Intimations of
Mortality", which I am still proud to own, were remarkable.
It is my hope she has now met up with some of our other dearly departed
fans, and she is at peace. Susan and her contributions will be greatly
missed by one and all.

I never met Susan, yet I feel I know her through her fan fiction stories. She
was so talented a writer that she made the characters come to life. Through her
words, Forever Knight lived long after the series ended.
I did not that she was so sick- so very young. My heart goes out to her friends
and family and to all of us here who mourn her passing.

Wow, what a shock! I had no idea that Susan had been ill and am incredibly
saddened to hear of her passing. I actually had the privilege of meeting her
once when she was doing a book tour for "Intimations of Immortality." I recall
her being very gracious, articulate and a genuinely warm person to be around.
A group of FK fans in the DC area took her out to lunch the day after the book
signing and had a wonderful time. Her contribution to FK was, and is,
immeasurable. She will be missed.

I saw her at Wayne, and possibly one other talk, and Frank was able
to "show the flag" at another Borders talk she'd given. IIRC she also
did a talk at an independent NYC bookstore some time before the
official novels came out. She was a regular at the New York City
metro-area FK and GWD get-togethers, as well as a number of the
FK-related cons.

Thank you for posting the link to her biography, Brenda. I am taking that
sad enjoyment possible from following the links from there to her various
biographies and activities.
I seem to recall that she had a problem keeping socks when she was promoting
"Intimations of Mortality" - she would forget them at the various places she
stayed. Some of her fans amassed a collection of them for her, iirc.

Subject: Susan Garrett
Like everyone else, I was stunned to learn of Susan's death. I knew she
hadn't been working on the Wiki in the past few months; but it wasn't the
first time RL had needed her attention. I just assumed she'd be back when
she had time.
I don't go back far enough to remember when she was really active in the
fandom. I first knew her as the author of _Intimations of Mortality_.
Then, when I started browsing around for fan fiction, I quickly realized
that *any* story by "Susan Garrett" was going to be a good read.
A lot of people have personal memories to cherish. Lucky you. Everything
I've heard about her shows what a wonderful person she was.

Subject: Re: Susan Garrett
I first became familiar with Susan's work before internet fandom really took off
and I was still getting zines by mail order. I would specifically look on the
annoucement/information tables for order forms for new zines, and thereby have
several in hard-copy. Her /Daydreams and Knightmares/ comes to memory without
any effort. I learned the hard way not to take Susan's books to read in public,
because she knew how to put so much emotion into the characters I couldn't help
but to overtly react to it. The muggles think that's weird.
I first met her when she was travelling with the actors from SAJV, and she
signed my copy of the zine that was the draft for her novel. IIRC, I saw
her year before last at MediaWest. I remember, like so many of us, when she
joined FK fandom, she did so semi-reluctantly: "The last thing I need is another
fandom!" was how she described it, but FK wouldn't get out of her head, and the
rest is history. Oh, and I too remember the sock drive!
We will all miss her. Celebrate her life and the memories she left for us.
Most people have minds like concrete: mixed up or permanently set.
