After reading some of "Book of Dreams" I'm beginning to understand why you like Sandman so much... and where you get some of the unspeakable eww-ness of the horror thing from... *grins*
Very happy to see some resolution in Collective Mutants, even if it's unspeakably sad about Fatimah. The Fish/Allison thing was just a little too dangly at the end of the last one. I loved the little detail about how her tops fasten with laces down the back. Mmmm... I would have thought that her mother would come, even if it meant defying her father... dunno, actually, maybe not. Allison's self-centred-ness was also nicely authentic. And the bit where Fish goes "I dunno about _you_, mate," about getting sex was hilarious. Oh yeah, and the symbolism of fire and water mutations just not mixing was pretty, if subtle.
Why no more soap opera? You do it so well... *sticks tongue out at Rossi-mama and runs off giggling*
You know...
