Sadly, yes, too recent, but interesting.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I feel like we discussed it here at some point, but I can't remember how far back.

Herding cats for fun
hey, woke up with wings!
Damnit. NOW how do I get dressed with these things hanging offa my back?
The concept of wingfic makes me laugh and laugh without even having to read any of it.
Wrod. Heh heh heh heh. Visualizing reams of Shaun Cassidy-Leif Garrett fic that would have come from my era. Egads.
Want to read Matt’s version of wingfic, though. The neocons should experience some of our crime-fighting righteousness.

I may be letting you down - the person I heard it from read it in the IHT. So I'm going to search their archives in case the article mentioned the book, but I feel the lead getting cold.

That's all right, Raq, I'm just glad I didn't create the whole concept out of my imagination.

Because books.
I'm trying to come up with authors who wrote in many genres, or for both children and adults, all under the same name. Joan Aiken is an example -- she wrote The Wolves of Willoughby Chase and a million other children's books, but also wrote Jane Austen "sequels" (before it was in vogue, too) and other adult books, all under the one name.
Any others anyone can think of? I need examples for a column I have to write, and naturally I came up with my hypothesis before I had proof.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Neil Gaiman? Diane Duane? Roald Dahl?
Stephen King wrote a book for kids, or at least for young adults.
