talula728 posted that her sister valerie_z has passed away.

I am heartbroken. Valerie was one of my favorite people in fandom. I met her because I archived some of her stories on my Spike fanfiction archive. We only met in person once, but I loved knowing her online.

I remember reading her story “Super Food World” out loud to my mother, a decade ago, because I thought it was so funny and moving and wanted to share how much I loved it. We hadn’t interacted much in the past few years, but I always read her posts. She was so smart, talented, funny, and honest.

I will miss her so much.

I just reread Super Food World last night; that story had so much heart. I didn't know her except through her writing, but she was clearly awesome. I'm so sad that she's gone far too soon.

I remember discovering vids through her site and sharing them with my mom. Val gave so much to fandom and was such an amazing person.

I'll miss her so much. There was no one else like her.
