We lost another good 'un
 

This week author A C Henley passed away after a long and painful battle with cancer. She had many friends and fans who mourn her passing. One of these is a writer known to you all - Phair. Phair has sent us this tribute. R.I.P. A C Henley.

where do the words go
when the hand that held the pen
goes still
all the literally coded beauty of each bold day
which was so carefully committed to paper
both virtual and real
after being heard by the writer's listening ear
and captured by a ready pen

who whispers the words now left without a hand
is it known the him or her or it
the pen can no more log details
so benign they are poignant in their own regard
and descriptions so rich one can see events
unfold which never truly happened beyond
the confines of the page by simply reading the words
trapped black to white
will the words swirl like fall leaves in a death spiral
down to the hard truth
or, are those whispered words forever silenced

the writer is no more
but, then she is no less
she is just gone away
perhaps to find some rest
or perhaps, I hope, to whisper words herself
to another
earthbound
listening ear
letting them be, once more,
captured by a hand which still holds the pen

in memory
of
AC Henley

What the heck have you stumbled upon? Well, it's simple really...Uber Etc. is a place to find links to alt f/f fan fiction on the web. We're nutty enough to attempt to cover many different genres including original works.

What else will you find here? News and opinion from the two grunts who run the place. We'll try and get writers to chat for us every so often. If you've got something you'd like to promote or get off your chest and it relates to f/f fiction, drop us a line. We're always open to rambles.
