Possible site speed-up feature, on the groupblog Author Buzz Developer Blog 6 months, 3 weeks agoIt is now available as an optional plugin for sub-sites and is live on the main site. I can’t detect any problems but I’m not seeing much speedup either. Should maybe speed things up for most browsers other than Firefox.

Blog: Hello Mr. Gaiman, I have recently read your story “Snow, Glass, Apples” for my Folklore class. I found the concept of an evil snow white and the story being told from the perspective of the queen really interesting. I do have a question though, why did you feel the story couldn’t be properly brought to life without the strange sexuality? I understand that the purpose of literature is to get your audience to feel something or be able to take something away from it and that definitely happened with “Snow, Glass, Apples”. I do think, however, that this goal could have been portrayed without the sexual references and rape allegories. Is there a reason you decided they were necessary to your story? from

Blog: I’ve noticed that a lot of media that I consume (shows, mostly, but also books and movies) do something where they set it up so that the main character will have to die at the end in order to save everyone else. One of two things happens, and it annoys me. One, the character dies and then is brought back. Two, at the last minute there’s another solution and the character doesn’t have to die. I feel like more writers should commit to a meaningful sacrifice of their main characters. Sometimes it works, but sometimes I just want that brutal, bittersweet moment, and I want it to be final, so that we can really appreciate the character’s sacrifice. Or even if it’s not a sacrifice, and the character just flat out fails, I sometimes wish there was a commitment and we can feel that failure. I don’t mean to say that happy endings shouldn’t exist, I like happy endings. But sometimes it feels like it could totally work to keep the main character dead. Anyways, I was wondering your opinion on this, my late-night rambling. from
