Heh. Yeah, midrash is a really interesting tradition, from a ficcy POV.
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
And I thought "that's Bible fic!"
Snerk. I had that same midrash=Bible fanfic revelation a few years ago, then got frustrated that I couldn't share it with anyone, because I couldn't think of anyone I knew who knew what both midrash and fanfic were, and having to explain either one of them seemed to ruin the "Hey cool! Look at this!" factor of it.

Hey, L.A. types...
How long does it take to get from "what used to be the heart of Hollywood." to Reseda?
Also, anyone have some Reseda details to share? What was the weather like in July last year?
Much appreciated.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What used to be the heart of Hollywood? I drive through Reseda, pretty much. It's in the west Valley, and it's hotter than hell, but less hot than Ventura county.
Also ... time to get there depends severely on time of day, what with the 101/405 up in there.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
People? Is it a really bad idea of me to ask Gaiman in his journal FAQ thing about whether he'd be upset, hypothetically speaking, about people writing fanfic based on his works?

What used to be the heart of Hollywood?
Beats the fuck out of me. Whatever mythic place just west of Cordelia's Silverlake apartment they declared as the Hyperion's location.
We drove through Reseda on our way out of L.A., but I can't remember how long it took us to get from Burbank to Reseda because I was fiddling with the MP3 player so we could play Screenwriter's Blues. (There was a vague temptation to get off the 101 to look around, but as we were on our way to Camarillo for the night, it didn't happen.)

IIRC, he has been asked that before, and I think he's slightly wigged by the notion. But, this is old memory working. I'd email the divine Roz, and ask her instead.

That's probably a good idea, actually. Or, with me being shy and all, maybe I'll just ask her when I hook up with her in a couple of weeks. Yes. That's probably a better plan.

Theoretically? 30-40 minutes. Actuality? I'd say an hour and a half.

Thank you kindly.
