"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.

Endnotes? What endnotes?

The download contains *no* endnotes as such. The last three headings are
* Endless Nights (Oct 2003)
* Appendix A. Looking Forward
* Appendix B. Notes on Citations
and the last sentence is

This dawning realization that Sandman would likely remain in print may actually have contributed to Gaiman’s difficulty in getting issues out on time; he was playing for much larger stakes than when he started writing, so concern for getting it “right” slowed him down.

Huh. I could swear my test download had them. What program/platform are you reading with?
