Darwyn Cooke passed away early this morning at the age of 54. He had been fighting an agressive cancer, and just entered palliative care. May he rest in peace. He was best known for his artwork for DC: The New Frontier, and for redesigning Catwoman’s costume in 2001. I found that to be one of her better costumes. I loved his style, and he will be missed.

Weirdly, I was just nominated for the Wicked Awards for a ship_manifesto essay I wrote for Angel/Darla back in 2006. I have until September 1st to accept or reject this nomination. Looking through it now, I see almost all of the links are dead (a couple went to Geocities) and gone, several fanfic sites turned to dust, and at least one journal has been deleted and purged. I’m leaning towards rejecting this nomination due to the fact it wouldn’t be of any practical use to people these days, and is barely an overview.
