17: A Solution (sort of)

17. I used to worry about that all the time, especially as I've known of fandomers whose friends found out they died from online
obituaries. Their LJ profiles are still up for the whole world to see.

I actually formed a system for that, where certain friends have Real Life info. Ways to reach those friends are provided here: http://author-by-night.livejournal.com/88319.html#cutid1.
I highly reccomend doing something similar - everyone should.

That said, a lot of people are extra private about online/real life matters, and some don't have any online contacts who know anything beyond their first names (if even), nor real life loved ones who know about their online lives, and/or who would think to tell anyone. I even have friends like that, and yeah, I do worry sometimes. I don't want to find out something's happened from an obituary, or always be left wondering what happened to them (although that's already happened a few times, unfortunately.)
