Joi_the_Artist - YES! It's lovely seeing so much variety in body type, especially among women (though the guys only have it slightly better in standard superhero comics - most fit neatly into either broad-shouldered and muscular or wiry but m…So, it's taken me awhile to figure out what I want to say about this volume. And part of it is that I am solidly in the listening stage of learning to be a good ally when it comes to trans issues (including the timing of this article in VOLUME V Main Discussion Comment by Ginger March 2014Totz- Thanks for the review of At Death's Door.

There's so much truth in stories - sometimes, it's easier to get at essential truths through fiction than through a strict fidelity to the facts. I know my family/friends and I share stories about each other…@MarianCall - The house of roommates was pretty outside my experience. I've had roommates, but no more than one at at time and mostly they were already known to me.
@SkepticalPete - Hi! I think it's okay if you don't have "as much to contribute to any sensible discussion." While it's fun pulling out specific elements in the story …Also, I have not read G.K. Chesterton, so thank you to those who pointed me towards the real world author that Fiddler's Green is emulating/echoing.Quick thoughts before I head out to work -I like the interpretation of Nada as vortex - I had not caught that myself! I like Nada's story. I'm more ambivalent about the frame ... the lack of setting makes me stumble. In later…Congrats, Joi!@Joi_the_Artist et al - I hadn't really considered the possible significance of Prince of Stories versus King, because my mind went to Elizabeth I, who styled herself…@Totz_the_Plaid - going back to where you wrote, "Morpheus is able to undo all that Dee did during those 24 hours..."I did not get the impressi…Ok, and now I need tea. *heads off to brew Twining's Prince of Wales black tea*
