Aidser

My nominee for Majority Renegade of the Year? AIDSer Rock Hudson, who played a macho playboy on Dynasty knowing full well he was a victim of the homo plague. Not a nice man.

This is most notably the case when the surviving writer is also an AIDSer (also surviving a dying) or is so closely bonded with the one who has died as to deny the difference in their identities (as, for example, in Monette's Borrowed Time).
