I wouldn't mind seeing the link. The only Sandman slash piece I remember reading was one that paired up Daniel!Dream with Rose Walker's son, IIRC. It was a beautifully done piece.

Yeah, Hob Gadling. That's the name. Spoilers herein for most of the Sandman series, up through...um...Brief Lives, I think. S.A., I don't know how far along you are, but you should definitely not spoil yourself.
I'm up to the third one, in that I've read the first two and not the third. So I won't read it.
So much good stuff. Dana... never read Sandman, either, and didn't need it. Such good Buffy voice. And what you wrote was so immediate, so real and accessible. And true. It sounded true.
The piece of Mely's is, as we were discussing lately, in second person, which I've never liked.
It's perfect. And yes, teary-making.
Such good stuff.
Dana, that was fantastic!
I don't know Sandman, but Death made perfect sense to me. And, I guess, the brother who gave Buffy the dreams was the Sandman?
The bit about Joyce? Heartrendering. And all the hints about things (and deaths) to come? Brilliant.
Love it.
Oh, god. Sleep For Grief. I hurt.
And, I guess, the brother who gave Buffy the dreams was the Sandman?
Yep. Morpheus is my woobie.
Dana, I loved it. I've read a little Sandman, and I could see her.
Those of you who haven't read Sandman, you must. Really.
Isn't the Sandman stuff the graphic novels? The illustrated stuff? I find it very hard to read, no matter who's doing it, alas; one of my Buffynite regulars brought me her autographed first edition to read when she got it, and after peering at it for a few minutes, I gave up. Brain. Did. Not Compute. Pictures. With. Novel. Honestly, I can't do the whole comic book thing at all, which sucks, because there appears to be a lot of really good stuff out there, and some of it great stuff.
If that's what it was, I would adore a text-only version. Because American Gods and Neverwhere, oh yes.
A text version of The Sandman would be like a ... novelization of Buffy. You'd lose a lot.
