In memory of the fabulous MLM

In memory of the fabulous MLM

I wish I could pay my final respects to MLM in person, but not being able to beam myself anywhere I need another way to do it.

My idea for anybody who has the same problem is a read together.
On November 7th at 11 pm GMT+1 (Berlin, Germany) we could all read this story she has written, Wire
And meet afterwards here at lj in this community to honor her.

To see what time this is for you check out this site.
The story is around 600 words, so everyone could join in, because five minutes can be snatched anywhere.

I never met MLM in person, but I am awed by her strength and her way of looking at life.
And I am thankful to her for sharing all that and the wonderful insights on the Lads“ lives, too.

I'll try to make it. I knew her quite well personally and I am devastated. Obviously not to the same extent as her sister, husband and father, but enough. Does anyone know how to get LJ to make her journal a memorial one? We should probably ask Deb, but she's fairly new to LJ and might welcome advice.

I believe Londonronnie http://londonronnie.livejournal.com/ organised memorial status for probodie.

So I think she would know how. I've been thinking myself that we should ensure MLM's site is preserved.

I'm glad that's come up! I've been thinking about it myself. :)

I think everyone has - it's such a treasure. It shouldn't be lost.

Yes, there's info on how to do that in this LJ FAQ answer:-

http://www.livejournal.com/support/faq/326.html

Friends or a relative can send an email to support@livejournal.com asking to have moonlightmead's LJ put into memorial status. (We did this earlier in the year for one of our MFU cousins, Svetlanacat4.)

I've been speaking to [livejournal.com profile] serantan about this today. Mead's husband wants to make one final post on Mead's journal and then [livejournal.com profile] serantan will contact LJ about conferring memorial status on the account.

I'm so pleased that we will still have a little bit of Mead here on LJ with us.

Oh, that is wonderful news. Thank you.

Oh good. I was worried it might disappear! I wasn't sure what to do.

Thank you! Moth mentioned it to me in a DW comment, but I haven't had time to reply. Just glad to hear.

And Milomaus, it sounds like a plan! I think that means Eastern time in Australia is 9 AM, so quite do-able.

I think this is great from her husband and I'm also sure it would be very hard for him.

But I'm happy that he is ok with it.

I can't imagine how hard this is for them.

I knew her so very little, but she made an enormous impression on me.

Her journal is terrific memorial, and a bloody good read :0)
