i have been in a very gaiman mood lately and i only just realized i had never explored the topic here on reddit so...
heyla, /r/neilgaiman and /r/sandman !
i just read "dangerous alphabet" for the first time, reread (and had neil lullaby me with) "blueberry girl", stumbled on the first and third of my series of "recursive gaiman fridge" images began at worldcon 2009, discovered the existence of (and checked out season 1 from the public library) "the sandman tv series", recommended someone to read "american gods" from the 7 gaiman books within 10ft reach when that someone had never heard of him...
anyway, the content, before i get distracted (again) and ramble (more)...
i had once deeply focused on the liminality and ambivalence of the endless as a group. i riffed off the ideas from there, a webfic (kind of) writer-avatar character i was putting out there at the time and the correspondance of space and time to create a similarly but remastered group i think i called the ageless or the timeless.
like the endless, there were 7 and each were altered reflections of an endless with a name beginning in L. where death was present at the birth and death of each and every person (unbound by space), life was present at each and every moment of significance for a single person (unbound by time). i could easily imagine the 2 of them chatting as they acknowledged the shared moment, the surreality of such dichotomous consciousnesses coming through in confusion for the reader.
i wish i could find that document now that it comes to mind. i vaguely recall using lethargy (absence of time) as a counterpoint to destruction (absence of substance) and delirium and dream almost demand a fight over lucidity.
honestly, that two page document i never shared or mentioned much, almost entirely reliant on someone being familiar with an actual author's work? it almost let me feel creative, more so than the two and a half webfic stories that helped spawn the idea which i had actually published online. -smh-
thoughts?
