Subject: [FFML] [Notice] A moment of silence.

Just over two weeks ago, our family had a tragedy.  As a car containing my
cousin, mother, and older brother turned to avoid another car, their own car
rolled over.  My cousin was treated for some lacerations and head trauma,
and my mother, although hospitalized, is recovering quickly.

Unfortunately, James Jien-Jong Chu, known to some people as being the author
of YUA fics such as "Car Chase Chaos" as well as the author of the
in-progress OMG fics such as "Tomorrow is Yesterday" and "More Human Than
Human," was killed in the accident.  Thankfully, he was killed instantly and
thus was spared any suffering.

If it weren't for Jamie, I wouldn't have been introduced to anime and
fanfiction.  We frequently swapped story ideas, watched anime together, and
reviewed what the other one had.  I owe much of my inspiration to him, not
only in fanfiction, but in life in general.  For most of my life, I followed
in his footsteps--anime, computers, music, and much more--and I never once
regretted it.  Our frequent walks about Geneva had us talking about
anything--fanfics and fanfiction authors, music groups, politics, to name a
few--and just enjoying life in general.  He may never be here again
physically, but he'll never be gone from within, either.

My family is saddened by this loss, but we are forging ahead with news of my
mother's improving condition as well as support from our extended family and
friends.  I wanted to thank all of you here for allowing Jamie to find a
place to express himself in words as well as entertaining him with the high
number of quality fanfiction about.  Thank you for letting him be happy.
