The Princess and the Shadow

Medium: Comic Book
Fandom: Neil Gaiman’s Sandman
Subject: Delirium
Title: From Delight to Delirium
Notes: Because Tori Amos is so closely associated with the character of Delirium I’ve tried to go in a different direction with this mix and have intentionally used songs by other artists. This is my first fanmix. All songs are in MP3 format. The art for this album includes an image of Delight drawn by Jill Thompson from the Sandman comic book. The rest is done by me.

Author’s Note: I’m not sure how I came up with this one. Gogol Bordello was in town for Lollapalooza which got me fantasizing about Eugene Hutz (which I do from time to time) which somehow lead to coming up with convoluted crossover pairings involving the character he played in Everything is Illuminated which lead to this story…

Author’s Note: This was originally written as a 400 word drabble for slashthedrabble  Prompt #160: Snake. The original is located here.


( Nietzsche's Snake )

This New Years I intended to participate in 2008_drabbles  , a challenge to write 15 100 word drabbles based on a prompt table. The drabbles were to be written in 24 hours spanning New Years Eve and New Years Day.

Because of real life intrusions (work, car trouble, emotional problems, fatigue, cold and so on) I ended up doing my drabbles last night and this morning.  Because I'm late I can't post them to the community, so I thought I'd post them here.  

The prompt table I chose was C: The Women. My drabbles are a combination of unwritten plot bunnies and whatever came into my head. They range from gen to femslash and het. Each drabble has been individually rated and warnings are given.

And as always-- These drabbles are works of fiction. Any illegal acts taking place within that fiction are NOT condoned by the author. Depictions of any questionable, illegal, or potentially illegal activity in said fiction does not mean that I condone, promote, support, participate in, or approve of said activity. I grasp the distinction between fiction and reality and trust that readers will do the same. I do not profit from the fan fiction I write, and all rights to the characters remain firmly in the hands of their creators.
