Thanks, guys. (Feedback? Best thing ever.)
You realise, without having ever read the Sandman stuff, I didn't need it?
Yeah, I figured. It's not real dependent on the Sandman universe, Death being one of those Little Black Dress characters that goes with everything. Morpheus is actually my boy, but I'm pleased that I seem to have gotten Death right. Plus, I bet Morpheus is harder to write.
Cool. Now if I can just find time today to get it posted to the lists...
For some reason, despite the physical description (brunette, etc), I kept seeing your Death as Azura Skye's character - I think it was Azura Sky. Cassie?
Or, rather, not so much the character, but that voice and intonation.
A nice collection of Death images.
And, of course, a classic, Death and Dream feeding the pigeons.
Edit: Whoops, looks like no direct linking allowed. Death and Dream is the first picture on the third row.
It's weird - I've never written Death as a character, but somehow, I want to see her as a chilly blonde with long eyes and a lopsided smile.
May have to try a shot at that.
Oh! Dana! That's so fucking great. I'm so glad you wrote that.
What I love about Gaiman's death is she's so huggable.
She really is.
Dana! That was gorgeous. You wrote Death amazingly well.
Dana!I've never read Sandman either, but that was SO Good! And Lizard, damn.
Lizard's bit with the tulip is haunting, isn't it?
I love it to pieces.
