Author Existence Failure: Difference between revisions

 

== [[Web Comics]] ==

* Similar to the above, the writer of [[Looking for Group]] and [[Least I Could Do]] has mentioned keeping a special script which should resolve things, and his notes on future plots, in a safe in the event that he passes away before his comics finish. Either the artist has the combination, or one of their wives do.

* Paul Gadzikowski of ''Arthur, King of Time and Space'' is another example - his plan involves synthesising the many Arthurian legends into an overarching story to be told in "real time" over the twenty-five years of Arthur's reign (although he has jumped forward by a couple of years and has hinted that he will probably do so again). He has stated on several occasions that he has kept detailed notes about the rest of the story in case he passes away before the comic is due to finish in the mid to late 2020s.

* [http://captainn.net/main.html N-Fans: The Series] began to flounder in 2007, when creator Webster Swenson passed away unexpectedly. The people who inspired the other characters made a few attempts to revive the series and keep it going in his memory, but the entire website has stagnated since early 2008.

* Angel "Inqy" Yates of [[Wicked Alchemy]] wrote on her [[LiveJournal]] about her declining health not long before her sudden death in the summer of 2009. In addition to the webcomic, she also had a slice-of-life comic strip, Onna Chance, and a pirate avatar game. Sadly, Onna Chance and her original site Mutedfaith are both down, a more than a year after her death.

* Tom Siddell, of ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'', joked that due to his strip buffer, if he were to keel over and die this instant, we'd still get about three months worth of strips.

* The creator of Just Another Webcomic passed away after coming out of a coma. He was only 9 pages into the third volume of his work, which he was unable to continue after the coma because he had lost a lot of sensation in his drawing arm.

== Tropers ==

* Weremonkey Gus, one of the [https://web.archive.org/web/20060522021029/http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WeremonkeyGus founders and original host] of [[The Other Tropes Wiki]] was reported to have died at some point around the beginning of 2009. (However, after ATT forked from TVT in 2012, evidence came to light which suggested that Webmonkey Gus, Fast Eddie, and several other TVT staff members were all [[Sock Puppet]]s for a single person -- a fellow by the name of Gus Raley -- and the "Gus" persona did not so much die as was retired.)
