Stephen King. He'd get all the nuances, and the twisted loyalties and and the brother relationship, and all of it. Ooh, and he'd do preseries weeChester stuff awesomely.
Oh man, that would be brilliant. I want to read that now.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mostly fantasy, a smidgen of sci fi. His main series is a self-aware sarcastic assassin who lives in a world of magic and "elves" (they're not our kind of elves by any stretch of the imagination--they're basically tall, psychic magic wielders) that feels very now. It's not period or high fantasy in any way. It kind of feels like urban fantasy with no Earth in it.
He's also done some vampire books, but the book that makes me most want to see his take on S4 onwards is "To Reign In Hell", which is about the fall of Lucifer (with him as antagonist). I love his dry witty take on angelic dealings. I'd totally recommend that of his first. It's a standalone, and even though it's at least 20 years old, it's a very good example of his wit still.
He's one of the Will Shetterly Emma Bull crowd, and you can totally tell. I don't know if he has any official ties with Gaiman, but much of his work has that sort of a spin on things. He's also got some high fantasy, and he also has a novel-length Firefly fanfic (so you know he's cool, see?).

They're friends. Brust shows up in the background of a couple of Sandman stories.

Because books.
He does sound pretty cool.

Seriously? I totally missed that.
I was *so* into Brust in university, but over the past ten years or so I stopped reading so much. I'm now only a couple books away from being caught up.
I've had a crush on his spicy brains from the first book I read.

Yendi is still my favorite book of his, I think.

I just realized this week's episode of Show was written by the same writers who gave us the Racist Ghost Truck. I really need to pay more attention to the opening credits.

Do you see a similarity between the episodes?

While I've watched "Slice Girls" twice in the last few days I can't even recall when I've last watched "Route 666." So I can't come up with a fair breakdown between the episodes. I need to pop the DVD when I get the chance.

I said that Friday night! (I think.) She's Bob Singer's wife, too. Clearly, she likes to get Dean undressed.
Actually, come to think of it, there's a lot of similarity to the way Sam questions Dean about his history with Cassie, and the way he questions Dean about Lydia. She must like the brotherly thing, too.
