Robert Aspirin had died. As a big fan of his Myth books, I am saddened to hear this. He'll be missed.

So sad to hear this. The Myth adventures taught me how to write humorous fiction more than anything else.

His friend went to pick him up to go to Marcon and found him on his couch, with a Terry Pratchett book on his chest. I didn't know Jordan had posted this thread so I posted one too, in the real world events forum. I just added a link to Lynn Abby's blog with her thoughts and memories of him.
