Things I have been called.

People keep trying to define me. This is okay, because it is funny. In the past few months, I have been called...

...the bastard love child of Neil Gaiman and Charles de Lint. (Biologically implausible!)
...Charles Addams crossed with Dorothy Parker. (This would make an awesome alternate-world supernatural romance FROM HELL.)
...a combination of Stephen King, Warren Ellis, and Rainbow Brite. (Angry cartoon horror author attacks city, film at eleven, evacuation at eleven seventeen.)

Have I mentioned recently that I am way too easily amused?

If you're half Neil Gaiman, have you read Anne Murphy's "Notes on Neil-Handling"? I'm curious as to which 50% apply to you?

I don't think there's any Diet Dr. Pepper in there though.

...but you being half Neil Gaiman would explain a lot, halfway.

I've read it. There's surprisingly little overlap; you could probably write that sort of guide to handling me, but it would involve a lot more "now make her walk" and more frequent watering.

I can now see a rod affixed to your back in order to dangle a Diet Dr. Pepper in front of you.

Affixed by belt--no writers were physically harmed in the imagination of this comment.

I appreciate not being collateral damage.

Rule #1 in handling the Seanan - Invest in good shoes. Your feet will thank you.

Rule #2 - No, she's still not allowed to have a velociraptor or any ebola.

Rule #3 - Tomatoes. And apples. And candy corn and DDP. They are your friends. Also revive Vitamin water.


I think I'm too tired to write more. Clearly we need to get her friends together to write this, though.

Awwwwwwww, but I want a velociraptor!

Your icon makes me happy. What I was working on last night is going to make you happy. Bwahahaahaha.
