Stories about Geo in Sloan-Kettering: The Sir Percival Cycle

[sabrinamari]

Near the end of Geo's life, when the River's Edge gallery photos were taken, dr_pretentious wrote a cycle of stories about him? for him? certainly for those of us who were watching. They were very important to me, and I think, to others.

EDIT: I spoke to dr_pretentious this afternoon and she says that these stories are a gift to the world. Feel free to print them and disseminate them as you wish---just be sure to note that she is the author.

dr_pretentious is pictured below the links to her stories in the Sloan-Kettering waiting room.

Your link to the photo of her is coming up "forbidden" -- check the permissions on it.

Crap!

Does the gallery link in the post below work now?

[onyxtwilight.livejournal.com]

Yes, and the photo now shows up embedded.

Thank you.

Wow! I had forgotten about these and how wonderful they were, and are. Thank you for reminding me and others about them and providing access to them.

you're welcome, honey.

You're welcome (smiling).

Me, I am hiding tears while at work.

Seriously dr_pretentious, that was beautiful.

Thank you, and thank the gods. The weird thing about writing it was, it was tremendously hard emotional work, but as long as I kept bringing my whole self to it, the writing itself seemed to come through me, like a gift from somewhere else. It's still one of my favorite pieces.

I'll be recording it as a free podcast this month for the webzine Membra Disjecta. It should be up in time for Samhain. I'm curious to see how many takes I'll have to do to get the whole thing, start to finish.

onyxtwilight and I are planning on putting it out as a chapbook to raise funds for Geo's scholarship fund. We're hoping to have it ready in time for FSG 2009.

Thank you for keeping this story moving through the world.

Sir Percival is always bearing the Grail for the Fisher King. I think he's on the way to Oklahoma right now.
