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 [personal profile] 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.

I only just got an official will (signed & witnessed & everything) last week -- and I am 49. (I wouldn't even have done it then, but my brother's marriage was imploding and I needed to appoint a guardian for laTeen should something happen to me.

I hadn't thought about a fannish executor in a long time. I am glad that you brought this up.

I had an informal agreement with a local friend, but she just moved across the country 3 days ago. oops. Now I have to think about it all again. (although the attorney who is acting as my RL executor is cool, and I bet she would take care of anything/everything for me.)
