Yes, definitely.
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

Thanks!
(Jilli liked my Death!)

Dana, I adored your Death. And I was just thinking of re-reading the Sandman series, too.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Dana, I imagine everyone likes your Death. What's not to like? She - the entire piece in fact - is/are sensational.
(Has anyone seen my grammar? Please send it home......)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Dana, I've never read any Sandman, either, and I didn't need to. I imagine being familiar with the Sandman-verse gives it another layer to appreciate, but it was still very nice.
You really nailed Buffy's dialogue, particularly here:
"Limbo? Do they actually play limbo there? Is that where it gets the name?"
And this....
"And hey," says Death, blazing as bright as the full moon. "I'll take good care of your mother. Don't worry about her."
Ouch.
Buffy hears the words, but by the time they make any sense, she's already forgotten them.Double ouch and sniffle.
Damn, that was good.

Those of you who haven't read Sandman, you must. Really. I'm not just saying this as a fangirl of Neil Gaiman. Sandman is goregous, gorgeous writing. An issue of Sandman won the World Fantasy Award for best short story one year, and it absolutely deserved to.
(I'm sure there is more Sandman fic out there, but I'm terrified to look for any of it.)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
(Jilli, did you ever get a chance to read my Rurouni Kenshin/Sandman crossover?)

No. Linky-link, please? Oh, and explain Rurouni Kenshin, 'cos I don't know who/what that is.
Did you read Mely's incredible Sandman piece after the library destruction in Iraq?
Yes. It made me teary.

mely's Sleep For Grief. Very teary-making.
