If anyone deserves more companion works it's our own Mr. Gaiman. Expect my abstract forthwith!<br /><br />P.S. What is the policy here on multiple submissions, at least here in the abstract stage? I'm sure several of us have many. many good ideas, considering how layered Neil's work is. It would be a shame if we missed a gem paper because someone set forward their glass idea.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00399589027862219332noreply@blogger.com
