Lots of hard work, Case. I appreciate it.

I have asked someone to help with memorials and tributes and will let you know when they respond.

Cool! No worries.

Unfortunately, I’ve run out of time this weekend, so I’ll set up the google drive shared folders later in the week, along with the spreadsheet to track the selected poems and poets.

I’ll start messaging some members this week to help curate some of the other categories.

Thank you everyone for all the encouragement, questions and support!

Fabulous, and, yes, question: On the memorials, what you are envisioning? One of their poems headed by a brief bio? If so, how many words total for each memorial?

Soul left his work to Grace - I will ask her for his.
David left his work to NorthernSoul - I will ask her for his.
I will do Danny and Eeries

ANYONE who was close to a deceased member of DU, please reach out to me for guidance.

EDIT: LunaGreyhawk and Grace will be assisting me, Case. And because I have reached out to NorthernSoul regarding David, and Rob regarding John Feddeler and LadyFancy, I think it only right their names be added as well ( unless they object, of course ).

And the others (growing list):

JadePandora
JohnFeddeler
LadyFancy

Off the top of my head.

And I have not been contacted at the time of writing.

Yes, I have thought about them, but don't know who to ask for Jade. We never found an obituary for her. I did reach out to Geoff but never heard back. I can ask Kasai or Rob about Feddeler unless you can suggest someone else. And I can ask PoetSpeak or Rob about LadyFancy.

Waiting on Case for guidelines, but I feel a brief bio followed by a poem would be suitable unless you have additional suggestions?

Edit: Missy, I just saw your edit above - I did contact you via Lepp immediately after I responded to Case. I respect the boundaries of those who have me blocked ( but that doesn't mean we can't work together amicably and professionally on this via the spreadsheet ); thus, I did not email you directly. Lepp said he messaged and emailed you immediately, but the message has gone unopened and he hasn't heard anything back via email.

I think the general concensus at the time was Jade 'died' after her trophies were taken away from her because she was caught rigging her competition's., a d other competitions with alt-profiles, so I dunno....

No idea then.

Also Lepp, please can I help on the podcast section? I’d love to say a small something.

Okay, so we're down to Feddeler and LadyFancy then. And ANYONE else we may be missing - please reach out asap! xo

I've been wondering about, Feddeler for a long time. Did he pass? Also, Snugglebuck. I've not seen him active anywhere for a long time.

Yes, Rob informed me some weeks back. I've reached out to him regarding John and LadyFancy. I am not sure who to contact regarding Snugglebuck. Any suggestions?

I had a feeling. He was always active. 😕

@case How many collabs are going in? As they're not a category on the DU, is there an easy way to find them?

I’m still friends with snugglebuck on facebook. He was tagged in something not so long back so I’m really not sure if he is still with us or not.
