Readers of Bonanza Fan Fiction lost a dear friend with the passing of ACSPeej on August 9, 2018. Though she had her own site for Bonanza discussions and fan fiction, she did upload her stories into the Brand Fan Fiction Library.
From AC1830: ACSPeej (standing for AC’s Peej, and better known as Peej) was one of my best friends although I only knew her for 3 years. She started the site Bonanza Trails in August 2015 where I met her and also dipped my novice pen into the inkwell of fan fiction writing. She had a wicked sense of humor and was a huge Adam and Pernell fan and was always my supporter in writing. When she shut down Bonanza Trails in December 2017, she in effect handed me the reins to keep our little family of fans and friends together; she remained active for a few months but alas health concerns took over, and she passed away in August 2018. I hope you enjoy her stories as much as I have.
