Re: OT: Sad Announcement....The passing of Alex P.

["David A. Knapton" <belgin_tei@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to add my condolences over the lose of such a great 
story teller, it was through reading Alex's stories that I myself go 
into B/W shipping.

I hope someone does take up your challenge as I can think of no 
better tribute to a great writer.

Blessings

Dave

Scooter Tramp, Alex was here writing stories about our 2 girls, 
Buffy & Willow since 1999, and he had written a long running and 
well-loved series that started with "A Higher Power" and seven 
stories later "Return of Legends, Interlude: Bittersweet Memories", 
and an uber-Xena fic, "Justice Deferred".

Kirayoshi for the idea <g>); Alex's last story "Return of Legends: 
Revelations and Realizations, Bk2" was left unfinished, so i put 
this challenge out there to all the fic writers out there and that 
is to either finish Alex's story - wrap everything up and tie a bow 
on it as a completed work or to finish R&R, Bk2 and then continue 
the story of Buffy & Willow. There is only 1 thing that can't be 
changed; Buffy and Willow *have* to stay together, no breaking them 
up and pairing them with anyone else!
> So, instead of the unfinished and unrealized story as it is now we 
have a completed work. That I think would be a good marker for Alex 
and bring a smile to his face to know his work wasn't left to 
whither and die on the vine and that another author or authors had 
picked up the B/W torch he had started.
