Leslie Fish

RIP Leslie Fish

“The things I worship are life, freedom, intelligence, and art... in that order." — Leslie Fish

"There is no heaven, there is no hell,
But the deeds we do and the tales we tell.
The world of mind and the solid plane,
From life to lifetime we walk again." — Leslie Fish (Bold Pagan)

Today, we lost an incomparable creative force. Leslie Fish — the Grand Dame of filk — is now singing among the stars.

It’s just impossible to fully capture the immense scope of Leslie’s creative achievements and her contribution to fandom. You can find photos that we hope capture some memories of Leslie's time in fandom here: mailchi.mp/257514fc7d54/extremely-sad-news-rip-les…

I've been such a big fan of her music since I was a child, this feels unreal. RIP, may you sing in Avalon.

and to think, I had been considering just a few days ago sending her an email just to let her know she had new, younger listeners who really enjoyed her music. I guess I'll never get to send it, but I hope she knew anyway. rest in peace, Leslie. may you succeed where Tomlinson failed

Oh no... I discovered her like three years ago and have been searching to find as much as possible. But to hear she died is really sad.

RIP, may her spirit travel the stars like her songs should! I first heard her music 10 years ago, when I was in hospital being treated for leukemia, and I've been listening since then.
