elisemHere is the Making Light post about Mike's death and life and work. There are some lovely links there.
It's a day for remembering things. When I'm tidying the house, there will always be a voice quoting something about the dust being an integral part of his filing system, Mrs Hudson.
Anyhow, go look at the links to his works if you want to know some of the reasons a bunch of us are remembering him. Be warned that his work is in a whole bunch of different areas, and there's a constant feeling of "Wait, he did THAT too?" as one bounces from novels to gaming to poetry to music to a bunch of other things.
In the list of alternate universes, there is one where Mike got to finish his Munchkin project, and saw it became an animated series, and got Margaret Cho to voice the character he wanted.
There's also one where he and I got to (would have gotten to? would get to, since it's still future but not this future?) do what he said we should do, sitting in our whatever-wheelchairs-will-be-called-when-we-were-80 holding hands and looking down at Earth.
OK, yeah, I may be rather weepy today. Please be kind. The links in Making Light include many to other people's remembrances of him.
He was quite a Mike. I'm glad we had him for as long as we did.
OK, time to get going on the day, here. It ain't gonna seize itself.
Do you have Mike memories, of his work or himself or both? Funny/sweet stories especially welcome.
