Oggbashan is MIA

[MillieDynamite]

I'm saddened by this news but happy his suffering is over. We can all take a lesson from Ogg in that he faced his cancer with dignity. He didn't allow it to get him down, often at least, and kept his sense of humor. He was always kind and helpful with words of encouragement to other writers on here.

RIP Ogg. You are missed and will be for a very long time.

I haven't been here long, but I'd fallen in love with Ogg's posts and imagined him as a fatherly person.

RIP Ogg

Ogg, the mark of a man is how many good things can be said about him. You were a dear and kind friend to so many and will be sorely missed.

Is there a way for Lit to note in his profile page for readers that don't come to the forums?

That would be lovely if someone could do that.

I’ll ask Laurel if there’s something she can do.

Rest in Peace, Ogg.

RIP Ogg, a true gentleman and a friend and mentor to so many of us over the years. I always enjoyed Ogg's posts and his many and varied stories. I'm glad he got those extra years in after that initial diagnosis and continued to do the writing he enjoyed for as long as her did.

I posted in the GB Lounge as well. He had friends there, too.

Ogg, the English OG. RIP Ogg

He will be missed.

A toast. To Ogg

News:-

I have received a letter from Ogg's wife who informs me that Ogg died on the 30th May, peacefully at home with his family.
His funeral is scheduled for 14-07-23 at 15:20hrs. His daughter Kate is investigating the possibility of live-streaming this event.

May he rest in Peace.

Thank you for letting everyone know.

Ogg has been a part of this community for almost as long as Laurel and I have, and we're heartbroken by the news of his death.

As someone said earlier in this thread, Ogg is a major presence at Lit, and not just for his fiction and forum posts. Ogg's personality and sense of humor made us smile every time we interacted with him.

One anecdote that comes to mind is that while many Lit old timers (those who joined in the late 1990s or early 2000s) chastised us for updating Literotica to the new mobile friendly design, Ogg reached out with a lengthy private encouragement. He told us that we must bring Lit into the future even though it was sure to annoy people like him. He warned that we risked becoming irrelevant to future readers without taking action. He encouraged us to not just update the design, but to re-imagine Lit for phones and other modern devices. He also let us know that his advice wasn't purely selfless, he wanted to make sure that his work would live on for readers long after he was gone. We were encouraged and motivated by his supportive advice at the time, though the idea that he may be gone someday didn't seem possible back then.

Every Lit author means something to us, but there are authors we work with so often and for so long that we develop a closer relationship. We've never met Ogg in person, but somehow it felt like we were old friends (at least to us, we don't know how he felt).

We've been following his fight against cancer and rooting for him for so long, and he outlived so many predictions by doctors, we wanted to believe he would always be here. Knowing that we'll never get another message from Ogg, never publish another Ogg story, never read another new post from him, and never actually have a chance to meet in person brings us to tears. I hope he knew how much he meant to us and to so many people here at Lit. We'll do our best to make sure that he won't be forgotten as long as Lit is around.

Condolences to Ogg's wife, family, friends, fellow authors, and readers. We love you Ogg, and we thank you very much for spending more than 20 years of your life as part of our extended family.

Sad to hear of anyone passing. I didn’t really know him, but he seems to have impacted a lot of people.

Love

Someone sent me the link to this thread.

Sad news, but at the same time a release for him as his health was seriously declining and when there is little to no quality of life the end can be most welcome, especially to not see your family suffering with/for you. He outlived his doctors diagnosis for over three years, and was in his upper 80's, the man lived one hell of a life and wasn't cheated out of a day of it.

Ogg was here since 2002 and I can't think of anyone other than Comshaw who has been here longer unless its a very infrequent poster. So, if you've been here 1 year or 15 years, we literally haven't experience this forum without him. He was a constant presence, and his passing is the end of an era.

Ogg was a mentor to many here, always willing to help and always stayed above and out of the various dramas and squabbles that have gone on here. He and I shared several conversations about our mutual enjoyment of femdom stories, and how much they upset the 'real men' here.

Good luck on the next leg of your journey, sir. You'll be missed.

He had been sick since before you joined. I was taken aback when I checked and saw that he had first posted about his cancer in September 2019

 

[ElectricBlue]

Oggbashan, the puffin on the rock second from the left, has flown up into the sky, circled twice, and is gone. There's a sign that says, "Ogg was here."

A superb individual.

RIP Ogg.

Thanks for the update HP.

That's terribly sad news, but not unexpected.

For the relatively new comers, this event was created to celebrate his achievements back in 2019.

Ogg wasn't expecting to see the year out, and it's a testament to his will that he confounded the doctors for so long.

RIP...

Thank you very much for passing this on. From all accounts Ogg lived quite a life, even in his last few years; I'm glad to have known him and that his loved ones were there with him.

Shit news, this. I know him mainly from the GB. We disagreed about a lot of stuff, but were friendly for all that. RIP Ogg.

 

[Trionyx]

I was hoping I was premature with my opening post. Unfortunately, that was not the case. His Literotica shoes will not be filled easily. May the afterworld treat you well, Ogg.

 

[Seadog777]

I didn't really know the fella.
Other than him replying to something I posted a few times.
May he rest in peace with our heavenly father.
I pray for his healing hands on the hearts of his wife, children, family and friends.
May they forever remember the love, laughs and tears from a lifetime of memories.

 

[Rob_Royale]

I've never corresponded with Ogg, and did not know him, but based on the outpouring of affection from this forum I suspect that is my loss. My heart goes out to his friends and family.

RIP, Ogg. An old soldier has left the battlefield and stepped over the next ridge to scout out the next foray. I'm sure he carried coffee and tea on that journey.
