TopShelf TG Fiction in the BigCloset!
Since this is going on a lot right now I figure I would join in.
Has anyone heard from Ashleigh Blayze author of Legacy of the Anari Book 1 or Ellen Hayes author of Tuck?
I was wondering what happened to them?

Being optimistic
I asked about Ashley Blayze a couple months ago. She is such a good writer that I hope she moved on to something that used her talents.
As to the other Author, the story you mention was written a while ago. I hope that she is doing well.
Writers
As far as I know, neither author has written anything in at least 6 years now.
Ellen Hayes
I was taken by the Saga of Tuck, and binge read it in 2015. It was at that time I noticed she went dark in December 2013. I did a little digging, and had a conversation with the gentleman who was listed as responsible for her website. He said that he was planning to keep it up, and implied it was as a memorial. I didn't feel it was something I should press, so that's all I know.
I like to imagine she put her demons behind her, and is living off the web somewhere. I wanted to thank her for her writing. I suppose this will have to do.

Well, what do you know...
I sincerely hope it was from Ellen, and I still want her to know how much I like her writing!

Legacy of the Anari
I think I'm just read this again for the 3rd or 4th time. It is that good to me. :)

Rereading
I’m pretty sure I’ve reread it at least 6 to 11 times.

Hate to Say It...
...but I'll be glad when it's off the front page. Every time I see it I think of the last line of the "poem":
...and pretty maids all in a row, or
...wagging their tails behind them, or
...that's what girls are made of, or
...and little lambs eat ivy,

Tuck is still one of my two of three favoritest tg stories. I'd still like to know how it would have come out.
Ellen had a blog on her website. According to it, her marriage ended very badly and she moved back in with her parents right about the time she stopped writing. Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. Still, I'd like to think she's ok now and doing better than she was. But I don't know.
She was alive as of her
She was alive as of her father's death in June 2023. I suspect she's still living with her mother. At least it looks as if she didn't have to revert to her deadname.
