And, I guess, the brother who gave Buffy the dreams was the Sandman?
Yep. Morpheus is my woobie.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Dana, I loved it. I've read a little Sandman, and I could see her.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
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.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
A text version of The Sandman would be like a ... novelization of Buffy. You'd lose a lot.

I wouldn't, because more than nothing is still a gain of sorts. All I got - tiny little print and pictures - was a sort of stylised blur.
It was a very pretty blur, but it was still a blur.
Anyway, I'd be more than willing to give it a shot.

Thanks for all the fish.
I'm thinking about throwing a challenge out to the world. Either here on or LJ, or both.
Thing is, I've become obsessed with CWDP (the timestamp, yes, because why would they do that? There has to be a reason!). I want to know who Xander was conversing with. I want to know who Giles was conversing with.

Elena, why not? Go for it.

Thanks for all the fish.
Okay, I hereby challenge folks to write CWDP stories.
You can write the conversation for any character that wasn't shown on air. So that would be Giles, Xander, and Anya. Anyone I'm missing?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Anyone I'm missing?

Thanks for all the fish.
Okay, then, Clem too. But I don't think we know enough about his past to speculate on who he'd be conversing with. Unless it was a kitten, and that wouldn't be much of a conversation.
Victor, you write Clem's conversation.
