Remembering Mumfan
The recent award of the Marge Hughes Award to rdmasters and
leecetheartist, and especially the text of
cheshirenoir's beautiful speech has brought many memories flooding back.
I met her at my first SwanCon.
I needed to.
Cast your mind back to SwanCon 11. My father has just died, it is the first SwanCon I've ever been to, I don't know anybody, and I'm there to escape the gloom and grief at home.
Picture a lonely, awkward, nerd: grieving and not really knowing how to handle it. And that was when Mumfan found me and talked to me, right when I needed it most. I don't remember what she said, I only remember the soul and that I needed it right then.
If anyone else has any stories of Mumfan that they'd like to share, I'd certainly like to read them.

It was hard to write that memory down but I think I needed to, and I think it needed to be on the record.
