"Crisis on Earth-Sandman: The Uses of Continuity in Neil Gaiman's Sandman"

[alexxkay]

Some years ago, I had a research paper start banging on the back of my head, trying to get out. I started writing it down, to quiet the voices, and have worked on it on and off since then (though mostly off). Lately, a burst of productivity has happened, and I think it's first-draft complete. [Thanks to kestrell for her understanding as I went into "thesis mode" for the last few weeks.]

If you've read Neil Gaiman's Sandman recently (or often), I'd be very interested in your feedback.

Never mind: you're getting them. I just read your paper (Wow!) while editing (mostly the occasional typo or misspelling). I'll email them.

Also, as soon as I saw this post, I sent the link down the hall via the world: I emailed it to the family comics expert, my son, in the other room. And he came to my desk just as I finished the paper. He is very much impressed with it, and would like to pass his comments to me to forward to you.
