Nearly 13 years ago I created my first FA account. My reason for doing so was to follow the updates from  AraKaraath, who drew a wonderful comic series called In A Perfect World. He was an Australian too, though in different parts of the country.
We never met - the only time he came to Queensland for FurDU was unfortunately the only time I did not go.
Unfortunately that chance will now never come. Rest in Peace, Ara. You will be missed.
