Not to be morbid...

[sherrold]

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.

I don't believe it's a fannish executor (I actually ain't very sure about what exactly a fannish executor is), but my son and I have made ourselves the promises if something happens to any of us, the other one will post about it to all blogs and places to let our online friends to know.

[sherrold]

And you have each other's passwords so that you can do this? (btw, I think that's sweet!)

[birggitt]

Oh, yes! We have done that (exchange passwords) and we both know which are our wishes regarding... well, everything. But I still have set a Will of Life, when I clearly set the point when I want the plug pulled off. I don't want anybody else having to deal with that kind of decisions.
We are both very... online-ers? And we both value a lot those friendships we have with all these people whose faces we don't know, but their hearts, oh, yes! Their hearts we really know *smiles*
