Beware the consequences of creating drama in a space full of fiction writers.
Meachen did not respond to multiple requests for comment from BuzzFeed News, but she told Cole via Facebook messenger, “I simply want my life back.”“There's no way to come back from this,” Cole told BuzzFeed News. “She has betrayed the trust of everybody who considered her friends, and she betrayed the trust of her readers.”
This binds them close together. The community rallied to remember Meachen, donating in support of her family’s expenses and keeping her memory alive by purchasing her work.A month after Meachen’s “death,” the author’s assistant Connie Ortiz wrote that her final work,was available for purchase for $2.99 on Amazon. The book, which BuzzFeed News obtained a copy of, tells the story of a rich man who falls in love with a poor woman.
Some members of the community had their suspicions about Meachen’s “death” at the time, but kept their mouths shut for fear of being “torn apart,” Cole said. They’d rather be correct in silence than harassed for being skeptical about a purported suicide. Not anymore, though. Cole said the death hoax has rattled who the community is willing to trust.
