I can’t say I was close with Eiwynn but she’s been a big part of this community for as long as I can remember and always struck me as a good and thoughtful person. Very sorry to hear about this…

Absolutely awful news. Eiwynn has been a pillar of the community as long as I’ve been in it, without the work she did supporting the people here I don’t know if I and so many others would have ever ended up writing anything without her and the work and energy she put in. Heartbreaking to hear.

Even though I barely got to know her, I knew she had a welcoming presence here in the forums.

May her soul rest in peace.

I will remember my years of discussion with Eiwynn fondly probably more so that we often disagreed. I’m sad that we won’t ever get that chance again.

I don’t know what to say.

I haven’t been present much on these forums the past few years, but Eiwynn was one of the best people I ever met here. She made this community better and I’m glad to see she had many friends.

She was my friend too, it hasn’t sunk in fully yet.

I’ll miss her.

Farewell, Evil Twin.

Thank you for sharing with us this heartbreaking news.

Eiwynn was an indispensable member of this community, always thoughtful and well-informed, always going the extra mile to be supportive of the rest of us. From beginner to seasoned author, I don’t think there’s anyone on the forums who didn’t benefit from her efforts. We’ll all be poorer for her loss.

This is heartbreaking to hear. Eiwynn was nothing but kind and supportive, even messaging me once privately to make sure I was okay, despite us not knowing each other well. She was a pillar to this community and a force for good. May she rest in peace and may her friends and family find solace in this moment.

This is heartbreaking, Eiwynn was a bright light in a messy online space. I honestly don’t even know what to say except my condolences to the family. She was always so supportive, and she will be deeply missed.

Wow… I. Honestly have no words. To think such a core of this community would just… be gone like that…

My condolences to her family. Her forum contributions were always something I enjoyed reading and the positivity she brought out was something that helped many of us continue.

She will be missed dearly.

Terrible news to hear, always. I did not know Eiwynn personally, but I came to pay my respects nonetheless. One of god’s own prototypes.

She’s helped me so many times, she was a fucking treasure.

I hope she knew how much she meant to us, what devastating news.

Eiwynn was one of the most open and kindest people to me, and all of her support and helpful words to writers will be remembered here on the forum. I’m so sad to hear it.

@Lys This may be an insensitive ask, but do you know if her family needs or wants any help with funeral expenses and the like? She was such a presence here, it feels wrong to not give anything back. I know I’m not the only one in the community who’d be willing to chip in for something like that.
