Can't remember who first linked to this on WT...

...but I've popped in occasionally ever since to follow her progress:

alicepyne.blogspot.com.au/

Unfortunately I've just seen that Alice passed away a little while ago. Thanks to whoever it was who first linked it - I'm not usually one to get emotionally caught up in sad stories of randoms on the net (present company excluded of course), but I did find myself making an exception for her.

Thought I'd post this in case anyone else had been checking in on her too and may not have seen this yet.

i haven't been following her, but when i was doing a little look at blogs today, hers was one of the first to come up.
what a lovely kid, and what a lot to accomplish in such a short time!

ah, fuck. I'm sitting at my desk bawling over someone I never knew. What an amazing kid.
