Tommy,

thank you for sharing Comicality's departure from this world. Your show of respect, associating us, me as a reader-member of Iomfats, is a small tribute to the special friend that made you use and share your writing gift.
I lost my dear and only friend to cancer two years ago and share your own loss.

Thank you for all You, give us, give me through Iomfats, bringing so many wonderfull and inspiring writers to us. Comicality is no doubt proud of it.

With my warmest regards
Jerome from France

This is so sad....
I had only emailed Comicality a couple of times about stories, but followed his IMAGINE Magazine every month.
The 'boys' and Jeff Fort are going to try to keep it going - but who could ever even attempt to finish his stories!
https://imagine-magazine.org/

First, Mike Wengert, the AwesomeDude.  https://www.awesomedude.org/
Fortunately, Rutabaga, Alien Son and Cole Parker have updated/kept it going.

Next was Pee Jay at Tickie Stories - http://tickiestories.us/Main.htm   - no backup or replacement there. 
Don't know exactly what happened here.

I think Timmy, you have said that you do have a plan, if anything were to happen.
Lets hope that 2024 gets better....John

Most but not all of the Tickie Stories site is archived on the Wayback Machine : sadly, too few story sites allow this kind of external (and free of charge) stuff or have other decent survival / disaster recovery plans. Over the years, we've lost far too many great stories as people have died, or simply lost interest in maintaining smaller sites.
