Yes, I meant to tell you before. It's as good as Kyra's, I think.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Hot damn, Nestra - just read the BtVS/Sandman piece. That's lovely. Really lovely. Nails both.
SA is thinking about setting up a Sandman archive. Let's all encourage her, eh? (Unless there is already a big Sandman archive out there somewhere? And if there is - please tell me?)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Thanks, Fay.
Sandman is a weird fandom, I think, in that you're more likely to find crossovers than standalone fic.

Do you know, the notion of a Sandman archive actually makes me uneasy?
I like it in crossovers, but I think my comfort with derivative fiction doesn't extend to full-on Sandman fanfic. In fact, with the exception of the Potterverse, I'm not especially comfortable with book-based (and I realize Sandman is technically a comic, but I think of it as a vast, illustrated book) fanfiction.

Why do you think it's different, Plei?(Just curious, I have no opinion.)

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
with the exception of the Potterverse
Do you have any idea why this is an exception for you? Not challenging, just curious. (Edit: Damn, erika got there first!)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
In fact, with the exception of the Potterverse, I'm not especially comfortable with book-based (and I realize Sandman is technically a comic, but I think of it as a vast, illustrated book) fanfiction.
I'm with you on that feeling about book-based fanfiction (although I'm not sure if my antipathy to HP fic mightn't have as much to do with my dislike of HP as my dislike of litfic). And Sandman falls on the book side rather than the comic side for me as far as that goes.
And yet, I'm perfectly comfortable with comics fanfiction. I think, for me, it has something to do with serial stories. TV and Comics both present ongoing 'verses made up of separate episodes -- fitting another story into (or outside of, for that matter) that timeline feels different, somehow, from litfic, where there's already something that already reads to me as a complete story.
Could just be me, of course.
