Love in Dark Settings

Some of you will have heard this already - I only just received this news - but Minotaur, a member of the slash community and of Gaylaxicon, died on June 14.

The entry on him at Fanlore, with related links. See especially the testimonials section.

The details of his death, as posted by his roommate, and news about memorials in his name.

I owe a lot to Minotaur; at the time I entered the slash community, in 2002, his Slash Page Database Project was one of the few Web directories collecting links to original slash and original yaoi (as well as many other types of slash and yaoi). The database helped me to find other original fiction sites and to get the word out about my own.

I also crossed paths briefly with Minotaur through his appearances at Connexions and Con.txt. I was very sad to hear of his death.
