I’m sharing a couple dozen of my own favorite and other notable posts. While they don’t run the entire breadth of tone or subject found here — no dreams, “Top X” lists, or word-verification definitions, for example — they represent my style and interests well. I didn’t realize at first but was not surprised to discover in retrospect that adaptation, continuity in fictional universes, and the nature of storytelling are prominent recurring themes.
