Hi
For anyone expecting an update to the story, firstly my apologies. If you've read my updated profile for my sister, you will know she is no longer with us. Something that hurts just as much today as it did on 25th March, when we lost her to viral meningitis.
However, she left me something which I never to be honest, thought I would be able to deal with, let alone pick up and develop for her. When she lost her fight, she had already made lots of notes, half finished paragraphs and ideas in a folder which has been given to me. Lots of private stuff, photo's and stupid mementos, but amongst that, a whole sheaf of material on her story about Naomi and Emily in prison etc. It's been kinda hard, as I'm sure you will know, for me to come to terms with her death, let alone start going through her private things, but two months on, and knowing my sister as well as I did, I sort of know she would want me to at least attempt what I'm about to do.
Which is - to finish the story for her. I am a crap writer, unlike Nancy, but there is enough of her in this stuff for me to piece it together so you guys get some closure on the story. It will sort of help me too, because having read her stuff (and blushed at the graphic sex...God she did love to get those two naked!) I want to make it the finished article. And to make matters worse (Oh, and starting a sentence with AND would have made her snort) I have even inherited her love of all things Naomily. I must confess that 2nd Generation Skins passed me by mostly, because I really only started watching Skins last year, and Nancy assured me that Gen 3 was a pile of crap and I had missed the boat already. But I am 16 now, and having watched all the DVD box sets she collected, I have to agree. OK, I'm gay too, so watching Naomi and Emily lock lips wasn't the MOST unpleasant thing I've ever seen ha ha! But I've decided to do two things.
One, to finish this story for her, probably in two chapters, because the plots laid out for me to write. Two, to write some stuff of my own to kind of honour her memory. You guys knew her from this site, but I had the delight (OK sometimes she could be a PITA!) of knowing her for all my life. She was so funny, witty and sharp, she made me breathless with laughter. She was kind, loving and really, really brave. I knew she was gay from the time I was 12, but it never bothered me. And she never let it. I envied her ease in getting stunning girls to fawn over her, and some of the noises coming from her room when she thought I was out and was 'entertaining' would have made a sailor blush! OK, its getting a bit personal now, so I'll just end by saying a PROPER update to her story will appear sometime next week. I hope you like it and see it for what it is – a tribute to my funny, beautiful and talented sister Nancy.
