I am the twin sister of Edeyn Blackeney. I arrived here at her home from the hospital and her computer was logged into this site, so I looked around. Apparently, she's known pretty well here.
There has been an incident. Approximately 6-7 hours ago, I got a gasping call from her cell -- which she only uses for emergencies. I'm still not sure what has happened entirely. I called the KCPD and they followed her cell signal. She's in the hospital and badly beaten, but they've got her stabilized and she's sleeping normally, at least.
I will try to remember to give more information as I get it.
I flew down on the soonest flight and her roommate offered me a place to shower and sleep.
Comments
Please do
try to give us more information if and when you can.
Edeyn is greatly loved around here. In the mean time I guess
all I can do is pray, and try to avoid groundless speculation about this nightmare...
~~hugs, GET WELL SOON EDEYN! Laika
What borders on stupidity?
Canada and Mexico.

Greatly Loved?
I mean, I see her name on the shortcut thing at the top of the main page and I've been informed that she's an admin, but is she the in-house geek or something?
Is this one of those sites she writes the stories about the dwarves and elves and pirates for?
She is loved here..
For being who she is, and a part of our online community. Not because of the story she writes. Please give her my best and hopes for a speedy recovery.

Sort of
The dwarf, elf and pirate stories are over at Fictioneer! my other website for mainstream fiction.
Edeyn is one of my assistants here and a sometimes dynamo of output. We are all worried. Please, keep us informed.

Edeyn Is Loved Here
for both the work she does and the stories she writes. I kept her here when she was begging to quit and kept her going when she was down. I needed her here and wanted her here. She is a talented individual for whom there can be no copy of. Moreso, she is a friend of mine and whom I cherish. Please keep us informed of her condition?
We will wait for you Edeyn and Pray for your recovery..
Love

Well, she's the copy
of me... because I was first, but I understand what you're saying, I think. I've always been in her shadow.
This site is huge! Is there a way to get a list of what sh'es written?
Yes
Author names are in the column on the under the picture of the cat in the hatbox. Click on Edeyn and you will bring up a list of her blogs and stories.

Not sure about that
The in-house geek thing, but she is certainly a contributor to this site.
NB
I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.
We will be waiting
For more information as and when you have it.
In the meantime, please do give her our love and hopes for a speedy recovery.
Gentle hugs

Our hearts are with you
Sometimes life just doesn't seem fair.
Is this supposed to be some kind of revenge thing for her testimony? They should lock these bastards in the same cell as those other poor excuses for human beings.
Hey, don't jump the gun here
Although I fear it's possible and you might well be right, it's not not a good idea to jump to conclusions.
I really hope she's going to be okay though.

Hoping for the best
I was really sorry to read this.
I am hoping that Edeyn makes a speedy and full recovery.
Hugs,
Alys
My heart skipped a beat.
OH MY GOD! I hope she is alright? she is a sister to most of us here as well as a comrade, an excellent authoress, a person we all can turn to in times of need. Please tell her that we are all thinking of her and praying in our own way for a speedy recovery. Please, please keep us updated if and when you can.

MY GOD!! FIRST RAYCHEL, NOW EDEYN
I can onlty think that both are related since Edeyn has been supporting Raychel. I hope and pray that Edeyn has a full recovery and that her attackers pay.
May Your Light Forever Shine

There you go with the smiting thing again, Stan
I know you mean well, but neither you nor anyone else knows that's what happened.
YET
It's this "jumping to conclusions" thing that has resulted in lynchings, incarceration and death of innocents the world over, I implore all of you out there to wait to find out the facts before you go tearing people limb from limb.
And that means you too Stan
I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.
There is no need to Panic
Edeyn's sister has promised to keep us informed on her condition and will phone me if anything adverse happens. I'll make sure everyone is updated on this situation.

Well Wishing
I don't know Edeyn except through her work here on this site but I wish her all the best. I'm greatly saddened to hear that she was beaten. What a horrible thing to do to a person. *sniff*
Hugs

Please keep us informed
I am sending all the positive thoughts and prayers I can her way.

My Two Cents
Just to echo all the good wishes of others and the nice things said about Edeyn, hope for a speedy and complete recovery and trust that she can and will identify her attackers,
Hugs,
Joanne
Just to add....
.... my deep concern. And my heartfelt hope that all goes well with her and that she will soon be back contributing again so vitally to this community.
I am so shocked…
I am so shocked to hear this appalling news.
Whenever I have been in touch with her, Edeyn has always been so helpful. Please give her my love and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Geek among Geeks
Since many of us could also be labeled as such I don't think that matters much. What does matter is the mutual support we've all shared here. We write and blog as well as even have a bit of fun and silliness from time to time. Your sister is a true jewel and my prayers goes out to you both.

I Agree
Many prayers and blessings from my end as well. Edeyn's always been a kind, helpful soul, and I can only hope to see her back soon.

Disturbing
Whatever the circumstance, that she was hurt by another or others is sickening.
I hope for for her full recovery and that the reasons for her injuries and those responcible are brought to light. Then we stake them over a fireant hill.
Sorry my evil side got out. Poor gal, no one deserves to be beaten.
Nick is right, we have too litle info. Outrage is an understandable reaction but hasty action will do more harm than good. Wait for the authorities to gather evidence and for Edeyn to recover and add what she knows, then action can be taken responcibly. I too suspect relatives of the convicted men but it well could be others, even a botched burlagry, but then why leave the computer and why not smash the computer/vandalize the place unless they feared discovery? Very odd that if it was a hate/revenge crime.
Sad.

My Favorite Film
My favorite film of the last twelve months is Lars and the Real Girl. It is all about a person who has a delusion -- but finds love and compassion in his community.
I'm not going to speculate, but when things like this happen it's good to think about how good we can be, rather than how horrible we sometimes are to each other.

. . . oh god
I'm just . . . lost for words. This is so shokcing! I'm just shaking right now. I really really hope she's gona be okay. Please keep us up to dat with what happnes.
I'll add my very best wishes for a complete recovery for Edeyn
and for the swift arrest and punishment of the perpetrators of this inhumane act. I have no words sufficient to express my disgust for anyone who would do such a thing, regardless of any provocation. Unfortunately there are people in society, rather on the edges of it, who think nothing of doing things like this. I wish for them, what my cousin used to say about such people. May they be taken early and suffer long.
I have no sympathy for them, nor do I have any use for such people. Ariana, please be sure that Edeyn receives all our hopes and prayers for her recovery, and thank you for being alert and able to act quickly. It's very possible that you saved her life with your swift, intuitive actions.
God Bless you and her.
