Hello all,
You may have heard that the voice actor who played James and Meowth was retiring due to sickness. I'll post the link to the article in spoiler tags, content warning for specifics of his condition.

James has cancer and it's... not going well.
I've known him for over a decade through the New Jersey anime Convention circuit and was introduced to him through Michele, who plays Jessie. Both really wonderful human beings and I think the world of them.
This news really hits me hard... right now, I don't really know what to say. There are too many swirling emotions to address them all.
He entrusted me with his address and I'm going to send him a card later today. I wanted to open up that opportunity to the folks here, but through my address. I could forward the letters to him from there. If folks are interested, let me know and I'll tag your username below. I'll keep your letters unopened and send them that way.
I'll pm my address and send it along to James when I have a few in a small package.
If you want to send something additional, I'll likely have to open the package and combine the contents with the other NTWF folks so it doesn't become difficult to send.
I'm going to keep this established NTWF only to keep it from getting overwhelming.
Other mods, let me know if I should tailor this in any way or change anything . I'm on mobile and currently sick, so I'm hoping this all makes sense.
