Memories of Phoebe

[such_heights]

I think news has spread pretty widely by now, but as I haven't posted this publicly here yet - purplefringe died suddenly in her sleep a week ago. My grief is beyond words.

A lot of Phoebe's non-fannish friends, and some of her family, knew about and really admired her vids, and generally were familiar with her fangirl activities. I'd like to find ways to tell them about all the things that Phoebe did in fandom, the friends that she made and the lives that she touched.

Whether you were close or only knew her vids or general fandom presence, if you have a memory of her you wanted to share I'd really appreciate it. Nothing is too brief (or too long). A favourite vid, a time running into her at a convention, a twitter conversation you had, anything at all will be a comfort at an awful time. If you need a refresher, you can find her vids on youtube and on ao3.

I've created a google form, alternatively you can comment below or email me at such.heights at gmail - if you could include your preferred name and where you live (country/region) that would be great.

Thank you. <3

Phoebe was absolutely central to me coming to understand vidding as a medium. Audiovisual media in general is Not My Thing -- it's hard work, and I struggle with it, and still I have multiple of her vids saved locally and watch them over and over again on bad days, and cry in all the right places every time. Love Is Cool, especially, on bad days and during long nights, but Gravity is so perfect that I almost thought I'd dreamed it and had to shake the internet to make it fall out again, and it being real and existing was a bright-and-shining moment for me, recently.
