Sad news
Unfortunately, we've lost another dear fandom friend. Alyjude, aka alyburns, aka alyjude_sideburns in AO3, passed away from natural causes on December 30. Like Bluewolf, she was larger than life in The Sentinel fandom. Not only did she write a LOT of stories, but she ran the Moonridge Auction for years to raise funds for one of Garett Maggart's favorite charities.
She also contributed to many challenges, including our very own Secret Santa. In fact, one of the last things she did was write a story for the Wreath Drabble Day. I remember talking to her about it. Being inspired to write again made her so happy and she was tickled when she got it posted. With that, she left a legacy of stories, artwork (she made the above icon) and good works for the fandoms (TS and Stargate) she loved.
Aly was strong in spirit but her body became more fragile over the years. She'd had a trip to the hospital in December and still hadn't fully recovered by Christmas. Her spirit is now free to soar. Rest in peace, my friend, and thank you.
UPDATE: For the many friends who asked, Aly's beloved cat Cluny is safe and adopted by an animal lover friend of Betsy's (from Moonridge fame).
