Cheap Shot posted:Well my fellow goons. We had a good thread. I feel like it's derailing far too much and actual E/N thread based content has gotten pretty sparse, so It's probably a good time to retire this thread with dignity. We had some awesome art, audio readings, songs and even a game spring up. Stuffed toys, emoticons and stickers. We even had touching tributes to a great goon countless will miss. People really let their talents show. Thanks for riding this poo poo into the ground with me everyone! I'd give them a side order of leadsticks would be much better.

Well if this thread is winding up I must say I've had a blast making comics and silly James Bond parodies! I also got a COOL sticker which is now attached to my car.  One more time, here's a link to all the tunes I did- http://tindeck.com/users/Rondette (bit vain but I'm rather proud of them, especially 'Dr.E/N' - my own composition!)

Oh no this thread is retiring! I kept meaning to post in here and ask if we were doing tribute comics, maybe we could do something for wren? I feel like her death was so quiet, yet she was one of the posters on the forums that I really paid attention to and saw around, and she had a real effect on me. I had my own cancer scare around the time that she died which made it even more poignant, and I stayed up late one night just reading a lot of her posts around different places in the forums, staring at the screen into the dark hours and trying not to cry. While Vilerate is celebrated, up until her death wren was still getting poo poo from goons accusing her of being an attention whore for daring to talk about having terminal cancer on the forums, and yet she kept going and kept recording her experiences, feelings and insights. Her strength was amazing, she was incredibly brave and honest in the face of her own mortality. The post from her husband during their last hours together is one of the most heartbreaking but beautiful posts I've ever read on the forums. http://forums.somethingawful.com/sh...6#post406340242

Wren really was bad at processing the prospect of her own death, but gently caress it it was her death, she could process it however she wanted. She wasn't stoic or accepting, she was miserable and terrified and made drat sure everyone knew it. She wanted everyone to know that she existed and was suffering and that soon she would die.  We barely spoke but I felt close to her somehow, and cried a lot after she died.I actually can't think of any possible tribute comics that could be done for her... But I do know she was very active in the Make Fun of Internet Crazies threads around at the time, and had a hilariously cutting sense of humour. She'd have loved this kind of thread, poking fun at lunatic weirdos.

Oh poo poo, don't remind me. The Mental Help thread made me tear up whenever she posted. I felt impotent to help or to at least assuage her fear. I did decide to stop moping around. None of my problems can remotely compare to the horrible anguish of knowing you are dying, in pain and that there is NOTHING you can do about it. gently caress cancer with a with a spiked eggbeater up the rear end.

I'm just finding out about it now but this is about how I feel too. I'd noticed she wasn't posting in e/n but she tended to disappear at times when her illness was affecting her so I didn't think anything of it. I knew she had terminal cancer but somehow I didn't expect her to actually die, if that makes any sense at all. This is the first time I've actually cried over the death of someone I only knew online. That post by her husband is beautiful. She always posted about him as if their relationship was the one bright point in a difficult life. I'm glad she was loved like that, and that he was with her in the end. Thanks for posting that, Strangers. I might never have known otherwise.
