For some reason, the bit that always stuck with me of Gaiman's "The Problem of Susan," was the bit that describes an imaginary Mary Poppins book, in which the children visit heaven, and Jesus is faintly terrified of Mary Poppins (because she had been *his* Nanny) and God, when asked if he had created Mary Poppins, replies, "Not her. I didn't create *her*. She's *Mary Poppins*."
At least, I *think* this is where that came from. I also once concluded that Gaiman's Doctor Who short story "What Time is It, Mr. Wolf?" had been an actual episode, which I had watched, so my record's not all it could be.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
