Thank all of you for almost three years of fucking, flames and fun. It's been quite a ride. I'll never forget this fandom and all the wonderful people I met both online and off. My writing skills grew by leaps and bounds writing for this fandom. Brian is an endlessly fascinating character, and even though I have run out of stories, there are others who never will and some who are only just discovering QaF. It's a rare and lucky fandom that still has an active scene so long after a show has ended. Cherish it - and even more importantly, cherish each other.
Yours always,
Fray
P.S. I wrote a multi-chapter story under a pen name that some of you might be familiar with. I'm posting it again under my real name. You can follow it here Knocked Up<\/a>. As for my other QaF stories on AO3 - I'm keeping most of them, but discarding a couple unfinished ones. I hate leaving up unfinished fics when I leave a fandom.","comments":"https:\/\/queerasfray.livejournal.com\/108457.html?view=comments#comments","category":"good-bye"},{"guid":"https:\/\/queerasfray.livejournal.com\/108044.html","pubDate":"Sat, 12 Sep 2015 20:39:33 GMT","title":"Letters to Sunshine","author":"queerasfray","link":"https:\/\/queerasfray.livejournal.com\/108044.html","description":"Title:<\/b> Letters to Sunshine<\/a>

Warnings:<\/b> MAJOR CANONICAL CHARACTER DEATH!!
Summary:<\/b> Brian dies in a car accident on the night of the launch party. This is the story of what happened afterward.
Author's Note:<\/b> This story includes the death of a major canonical character<\/b>. It's about grief, guilt and healing. It's not an easy read to the say the least. If you think you might not be in the right place to read a story like this, DON'T DO IT!!
