@jillminor for a time in the 90s, I considered him a friend. I was a naive goth chick who managed a comics shop and looked like Death. He corresponded with me through email and referenced me on his blog. He sent me the things that were too racy for his website (like the Tijuana Bibles) to share instead on mine.
He stopped writing to me around the time he got involved with Amanda. I used to be sad I'd never met him. Now I see how I dodged a bullet.
He was one of my favourite writers and narrators, and now I feel filthy when I hear his voice and squicked when I think of his books.
Alice Munro was another of my favourite writers, and I feel betrayed when I think about her wrongs, too.
Me too goth chick who looked like Death and published underground comix in the late 80s, early 90s.
Me too groomed by Neil. Except I tried to tell people then who he was, and pretty much got drummed out of comics. 32 years I've warned people. I feel very Cassandra about the whole thing.
And while my deepest empathy is extended towards his victims, I also feel so bad for his daughters. He dropped them like hot potatoes when he took up with Amanda, so I don't know how close they are anymore, but jesus reading that about your father would be soul breaking. I hope they never do. I sort of wish I hadn't.
@MissConstrue @jillminor I felt kinda like a long-distance auntie to Maddie. I hope she's ok. She was such a cool kid.
@Shanmonster @jillminor Yeah. It broke my heart the way Neil just dropped her when he and A became a thing. Although, that may have been her mom stepping in and whoaing up on her kid hanging with them.
@MissConstrue @Shanmonster @jillminor If you don't want your comments published on my blog, let me know; they auto-publish. I'll happily remove them if you want them to be more just-between-us or just-on-Mastodon.
@jillrhudy @MissConstrue @jillminor I don't mind, but thanks for the heads-up.
@Shanmonster @MissConstrue @jillminor you're very welcome. My blog is relatively new and built for ActivityPub integration but I'm still learning about how all that works.
@jillrhudy @MissConstrue @jillminor I blog on DreamWidth. I wonder if I can integrate that, somehow. My tech knowledge is woefully out of date.
@Shanmonster @jillrhudy @jillminor Same. My site got hacked and I just stuck a Wordpress there and haven’t gotten back to it in forever.
