I never interacted with Dragoneer personally but I've been using FA for a very very long time now and I was always aware of him and appreciative of the platform.

There's nothing I can say now that hasn't already been said - that his sudden, avoidable death so young is fucking infuriating, that the US healthcare system is barbaric, that he will be remembered fondly as the leader of the fandom's biggest gathering of art and artists and commissioners.

He will be greatly missed, and my thoughts go out to his family and his closest friends.

I have concerns about the future of the platform - I don't know what happens next. My fear is that FA will become, without him and hia finances, too expensive to keep alive and that the plug will be pulled.

I'm going to take this opportunity, then, to let everyone know once more where else they can find my art and myself online.
I will continue to post my work to FA until whatever happens to it.
