I fear I'm too new a reader to offer to bear your children (not that I could, having reached that certain time in the life of human females), but may I worship at your feet, o Bedlam bard, storyteller supreme, wordsmith of the Wyrd? You have managed with this piece of whimsey to touch almost every one of my academic/literary raves: folklore, fantasy, linguistics, slash, Arthurian studies, literary archetypes, cultural archetypes, mythology...

*sigh*

Thank you for failing to resist temptation, and sharing this delight with us!
