Recently, the furry fandom lost someone who I had the luck and privilege to chat and (through having a story published in one of the anthologies she edited) work with now and then over the years,  Kiris.

She was someone I was always truly delighted to get to talk with and whose attitudes and actions within the fandom and beyond I had immense respect and admiration for, and the fact that she's gone now really, really fucking sucks. And if it sucks for me, I can only imagine how hard things must be for those who knew her far more closely, and loved her as much as she deserved to be loved.

Her passing has, of course, unfortunately come at more than an emotional cost to her husband, Ocean, in particular. As such he's opened up a gofundme asking for financial support regarding the care Kirisis received prior to the end of her life, as well as the ongoing costs he's had to deal with following her passing.

The values of loving inclusivity which Kirisis held so dearly and worked so passionately to share and uphold within the world are things I try with all my heart to put into my writing. So if you have ever read and enjoyed a story of mine and you have the financial ability to do so, I would be immensely grateful if you'd be willing to join me in contributing to the gofundme memorial for Kirisis. <3
