Star C. Foster, blogger and co-author of the most highly acclaimed
interactive fiction of 2003, Slouching towards Bedlam, died this
morning in Philadelphia. Star was an editor of Phillyist, wrote for
Shiny Shiny, and had her own corner of the blogosphere, Sarcasmo's
Corner. Two years ago she joined me and Scott, along with Dan Ravipinto
and Emily Short, at the Interactive Fiction Walkthroughs event at the
Kelly Writers House. On the Web, along with many of her own photos and
much of her writing, you will find a portrait of Star in Rittenhouse
Square. The news of her death was posted today on Phillyist.

I am a big fan of Star and Dan Ravipinto's "Slouching Towards Bedlam".

She will be missed

...Whoa. Just...whoa. I don't really know how to respond to that, so I
won't try. I'm just sure that the IF community lost a valuble person.

Just curious. What did (well, it still does, I guess) the C stand for?

My condolences. For me Slouching is one of the most important IF of our
recent history. My condolences to her family and all this community.
Such a great loss.

This is pretty sad. I had heard of her from my friends but have never
had an experience, although now I think I should've had.
I hope at least her place would be filled by others.
If anyone who had a kind of friendship with her is able to read this
post, I don't know how to show my sorrow of such a loss; Al though I
have never quite believed in.
"The value of someone is understood when you lose them."
May she rest in peace.
