Retrying this because my first post disappeared.

I think I knew something was going on with Bonnie. She didn't say
anything after my cat died, and that just wasn't like her.

I have a story to tell.

My very first War was War III. I knew I was going to play a Merc, and I
even arranged for a super-duper wheelchair because that was the only way
I would have been able to travel to TO. This was in my first round of
what we eventually decided was Wegener's Granulomatosis, and I was on
huge, 10x the usual cancer doses of chemo and prednisone. Anyway, I got
my first assignment, to break into the Perks mansion. No problem, got in
my chair & knocked out the guard geese with sleeping pills stuffed in
raisins. Don't remember what the rest of the job was, except it involved
picking a lock to get in. So I posted my piece.

And was told flat out, it wasn't good enough.

It felt like someone had kicked my in the stomach. Thought about
mentioning the pred withdrawal related migraines & decided it sounded
like an excuse. Thought about sending a note to the War Mistress saying
I hereby withdraw from the War. And I would have except...

Bonnie saved me.

She wrote a 2nd half of my post that filled in the gaps I'd missed. I
don't remember many of the details due to chemo-related memory loss, but
it was enough to keep me in the War.

I think, of all the deaths that hit me hard this year, losing her might
be the hardest.


(Oh, one more thing. My cat's 'official' name was Nicky-poo. Anyone want
to take a gander where that came from. <G>)

I didn't correspond with Bonnie much, but last year she sent me a note of
appreciation on my closing story for the last war, thanking me for the way I
wrapped up the Perkulators' storyline when they dropped out in the middle of
War 8. She was a wonderful, vital, part of the fandom, and will be missed.


In tribute, it seems appropriate to post the last few lines of the story she
thanked me for:

> "How about a toast to absent friends, then, those who can't be here, and
> those who've gone on," Tracy said, raising her glass. Her faction members
> raised theirs as well.
>
> "To absent friends," Teri and Anne chorused, and Anne added, "Forever in our
> hearts."
>
> Forever in *my* heart,

Anne
"That's not natural snow.  I can smell the fanfic fairies," said Tracy.  (War XII)
