What was your reaction to BJ dying

[One-Eye the wildcat]

I know where he went. Redwall abbey, in Mossflower country.

I knew he was dead when I first started reading redwall, and It didn't matter to me. Until I finished the rogue crew,that is. At that moment, it hit me. Brian Jaqques was dead. I pretended to be okay for the day, and then cried all night. I hope that the fanfiction we write contulinues to please te fans of te series as e did.

Rest in peace, Brian. Rest in peace.

[The Grey Coincidence]

That was... very sweet.

[One-Eye the wildcat]

Don't get used to it.

Wow! I agree with Grey, that was very sweet, One-Eye.

JUST THIS ONCE.

I never really thought about it. I wasn't connected to him as much as I was to his work and the world he created, but it's still sad to think there won't be any more "real" Redwall books. The Rogue Crew was basically part fanfic, anyway. Fanfic is enough for me.

What happened in the Rogue Crew?

[Time]

Pretty sure BJ didn't finish it and somebody else wrote the end.

[Jack the Quick]

Oh. Was it obvious that it was someone else?

For a long time I wasn't sure whether he was still alive or not, as all his pictures made him seem pretty old.  At one point I looked it up and he was still alive, but later I learned that he died not too long after it happened, interestingly.

My first thought was that the world lost an unparalleled storyteller, and I would have liked to hear him tell one of his stories in the flesh.

[Ripred the Gnawer]

I am just so sad that he died when I was a 1 year old because I never got to meet him.
