Posted So, Snaoim started reading Smoke and Mirrors on the plane this past weekend, and after reading WCGTFYW, he was confused and wanted to know what I thought. I hadn't read it in a long time and frankly, I didn't really get it either. How do other people take this story? What does the end mean for you? Especially Gaiman's insistence on the "But we had to be asked" part. Jeremy ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ en boucle Claire Diterzi Fan Site "Come over here to where When lingers." Jig of Life -- Kate Bush How's your jesus christ been hanging? Father Lucifer -- Tori Amos Where When lingers and talks about art and music.

Posted Hide Post Traditionally, demons have only had power over humans when we've allowed them to have that power, as a way for the Divine to keep the demons from taking over the world. So, when it comes to mass murder, they've only had to have someone ask them to kill everyone to have the right to do so. __________ AJGraeme "You see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking: if you ask for it, I have to let you have it." -Taylor Mali "Science is the foot that kicks magic square in the nuts." -Scratch Fury

Wayfarer the colours . . . the colours Member	Posted Hide Post When I first read this story, it reminded me of a superstition that vampires can only cross your threshold if you invite them into the house. Also, the title is very reminiscent of P K Dick. *** "objective evidence & certitude are doubtless very fine ideals to play with, but where on this moonlit & dream-visited planet are they found?"

Eldi Only sounds like Keith Flint Member	Posted Hide Post While Dweller and Waspfearer make good points, the answer is even easier than those. In Revelations, before the four horsemen come, they are called upon. someone has to ask them to kill off the entire world. ----begin sig here---- Are Comics Books Sexist?
