Author? Hell, you want me to name one? Impossible - Doc Benway, Amanda Sichter and Dark Mark will be read regardless of the topic; Andraste and Dyce are also guaranteed reading, Xander has put out some excellent stuff in the last few months - "Hellblazer" and the Hellfire Club? Whoo. :)
You've placed me in pretty extraordinary company - thank you very much. I am honored. I've read a great deal of Benway, DM and Andraste's work, and after no less than four recommendations this week, I shall definitely have to give Sichter and Dyce a try.
It is interesting and very post-modern how multiple individuals perceive the same story differently depending upon what they bring to it in terms of their interest and experience. In our correspondence about the piece, Benway and I clearly perceive H:H to be a Hellraiser yarn that happens to star characters from the HFC and Hellblazer. However, the vast majority of people who've sent in feedbackback consider it exclusively an X-Men villain's story. You seem to take it as a tale anchored in Constantine's reality.
I can't quite put my finger on it yet, but it seems to me that there is some kind of question in those differences of perception that relates to our conversation about author identity.
Round Robins? I cut my writing teeth on SC round robins, so I'll always approve of them.
I've been poking around in Kielle's Subreality archive, mostly reading individual stories. If there are any round robins you (or any other readers) would particularly encourage me to read, I'd love the suggestion.
