Subject: A Vaqly Declaration
The lateness of this response may seem to some to be pure slackerly
Vaq-tardiness, but the Vaqueras had no desire to appear heartless and u
naffected by all that has happened. Quite simply, the decision was made to
delay sending this message out of courteous respect for the folks who are
grieving.
I wish to extend heartfelt sympathy and condolences from myself and all of the
Vaqueras to all those who are struggling under the crushing loss of Bonnie
Pardoe. She has been a solid presence in this fandom since I joined it, and
her absence will be achingly felt. I personally am saddened that I never had
the chance to know the wonderfully caring, sweet, generous, loving and kind
soul that everyone praises so highly, both here and in her real life. She has
left a legacy of talent and artistry that will continue to touch people's
hearts and lives for as long as there's an Internet and an archive of FK
creativity.
We, the Vaqueras, appreciate the fact that people have expressed a concern
over the state and condition of Vachon's Church and the maelstrom of feelings
that has swirled since the last stories were posted. We appreciate the fact
that the Bonnies had no plans to leave us Vaqueras without a HeadQuarters, and
that the wonderfully talented Bonnie Rutledge intends to continue with what has
to be a painful and difficult task of completing the story they'd been working
on together.
HOWEVER, there are certain facts that cannot be ignored, and we must state
them clearly here and now.
No one, NO ONE outside of a faction, in or out of War, has any authority, any
right to dictate what happens with that faction's HQ. No one has the power or
the right to decide they don't like something about someone else's HQ, and so
take it upon themselves to destroy it and rebuild it to suit themselves.
We, the Vaqueras, do not recognize the validity of these stories written
outside of War time, by people who have neither right nor authority to change
ANYTHING about our HQ, not even the tiniest piece of broken stained glass.
Rest assured that if there is another War, and IF we decide to offer ourselves
up as War victims again, our Church will be exactly as it was the day we left
it, right down to the rumpled up newspaper that missed the trash can and rolled
behind the Lewd Talking Toilet.
Respectfully,
Teri
Vaquera Second in Command
