Candlelit story vigil for Ninjadeadbeard · 12:53pm
As many of you know, we have recently lost a great writer and friend, Ninjadeadbeard. He sadly was taken from us December 19th by cancer. It is sad and tragic, and we will miss him greatly. His memory will live on within those that knew him and the stories he left us.
To honor him, I am putting forth this event. A story based candle lit vigil. It’s not a contest or an exchange or really even a collab. It is way to honor him in the way he honored us. With stories.
So to that end the idea is to write a story in his honor, it can be anything you feel is appropriate but no porn or horror. Those don’t really fit the theme. Comedy is ok because that’s how he was. He was always joking and enjoying life even as he got worse. He is my hero for that.
Rules
1: The story must begin with “And the candle was passed to [your main character].” And end with “And the candle is passed.”
2. You must have a candle for your cover. All the stories are going to be put in a folder so it will be a nice long row of candles when it’s done.
3. The candle can’t go out in the story. The candle is the memory or even the spirit of our friend moving through the many stories we share for him. Which leads us to:
4. The candle must be part of the story. Maybe held by the main character or lighting a scene with in it.
5. As mentioned no horror or porn. Also no gore or graphic depiction of violence or rape. These themes don’t feel appropriate for a vigil. Death is probable as it is a memorial.
6. There is no time or word limit. You can take the time you need to think about it. You don’t have to rush. If you need this as way to grieve that’s ok too. We’re here to support that.
7. When you are done please place it in the folder “Candle light Story Vigil” in the Kirin Fans of Cutenes group. If you don’t want to join it you can PM me the link and I’ll put it in there.
I know it’s a sad time, but we are here if you need to talk. Sharing helps ease that burden. The more that share it the less it feels. Or at least I found it to be so.
Any questions contact me via PM. May the cuteness be with us all.
This is my first time hearing of this. That’s very sad to hear. He was a great contributor to this site and a big supporter of my work. Rest In Peace.
Rest in Peace, dear Ninja.
RIP
I really enjoyed his works. Fuck cancer
I didn't know until reading this either. I felt like this was probably going to happen, but I didn't expect it to be so soon after his last update. I never really interacted with him but he always seemed nice and his stories were one of the things that got me to join this site in the first place. I'm sorry I can't say more, I wish I could. Fuck cancer.
