Not to be morbid...

But I've been thinking about dying a little, recently -- mostly because I've been doing Fanlore articles on fans that have moved on. And I realize that I talked to wickedwords years ago about taking care of my stuff when I died (I have 20 linear feet of zines, still), but she doesn't have my passwords.

you know....xlorp and I were talking this week and he asked me the exact same thing - what should I do with your zines, is there someone in fandom you'd like to handle fannish stuff.

I told him to donate everything to the Fanzine Archives at the University of Iowa. I still need someone to take over my websites etc. I also make certain I am never the lone admin for any community or LJ.

Ooh, good point.

Also, does Steven know your LJ/DW password, to be able to post a memorial?

[morgandawn]

Of course I do - oops....
