RIP Patrick and Other Things

This has been a terrible week for the Star Trek Fandom. First Walter and now Patrick. It breaks my Starfleet heart.

Of course I loved him in TNG and the more recent “Picard” seasons, especially season three, Chef’s kiss. I even loved him in the XMen movies. And long ago he was a knight of the round table in Excalibur.

But for me he will always be my favorite Scrooge. That’s him from the TNT movie in the late 90s. I watch it over and over every Christmas and I will do that again this year.

In other fandom news, AO3 is down. Like very down. Their latest updates said 2 to 4 weeks. Yeah, weeks. I don’t know what happened but it was bad, obviously. Nothing from me will get updated there. I don’t know when that will change. I am working on Advent stories for the K/S Advent calendar but they are supposed to be done and uploaded by 11/20. If it’s at least 4 weeks, that’s past that date. I will still write them and see what happens. Either they will get posted there or here. I can only assume a major hacker attack but I really do not know.

But bad news.

    Whoa. I heard about Patrick in the middle of wedding shenanigans. There was only a few people who got how sad that is. He will be missed for sure.

    You know I agree with Scrooge 🙂

    But now AO3 too? Just wow. Hang in there friend!

    And I hope we get a chance to read the advent stories!

    Was so devastated to hear, absolutely loved him! RIP to a legend.

    On the AO3, it’s a hardware failure. They had issues, took it down for maintenance and hoped it would come back up but hardware is kaput. So 2-4 weeks is lead time for replacements I understand, with it possibly coming online sooner using older, obsolete hardware with their servers.

    so I think you’ll see it online much sooner but read-only I suspect for a while until they’re up and running at full speed.

      Yes I so admired him. Very heartbroken. I know we all must die but still…]

      Oh good to know, Elouesa! That is major. I suspect there will be allowances for the advent thing given the crash but glad to know it wasn’t evil actors

        It’s what I was told, but that could be wrong. I’m hopeful though, they’ve confirmed the data is intact.

    Although I do see they’ve put out an update suggesting people ensure they haven’t duplicated their passwords just in case
