When you write Dr. Strange, are there going to be ANY female characters? Like, at all?

I refer you to “Reason #8 Why [MGK] Should Write Doctor Strange”:

Once, shortly before his death, the Ancient One sat Stephen down and told him some things that he figured Stephen would eventually have to know.

… Some of it was borne of years of life experience. (“If you are ever offered the opportunity to switch genders, make sure there is a reversal easily available beforehand. Trust me on this. Also, remember that women wear different types of socks.”)

Clearly this is going to be an important plot point. Strange is going to become a woman.

I think at that point he should change his name from “Stephen” to “Karina”. Just because I happen to know someone named Karina Strange.

I wonder what would happen if Creaky started hanging out with the Mathemanic from the original New Warriors series. I suspect that either the universe would implode because they discover that the “grand equation” doesn’t actually balance or (far more likely) EVERYONE (except possibly Wong) will be forced to temporarily vacate the Sanctum to avoid the super-nerdy math-talk. Either way I can’t see Strange being happy about this.

Only Orz?

(And yes, TvTropes is a black hole of time. I love it.)

I dig the “Finding magic in the flow of information” thing…

Has a very “Jack Frost/Invisibles” vibe to it.

Pulls a Dane, takes the first letters of the show that’s currently on TV, turns them into a Word of Power, and Suddenly HIMYM has blown up half a city block to the sounds of Neil Patrick Harris saying “LEGENDARY”

tvtropes.org is THE BOMB.

Does anybody here contribute to the wiki there?

It sure sounds like it.

Charles Stross’ “Laundry” stories also tie mathematics (and its bastard offspring, computer science) to magic in a way I’ve found damned entertaining.

I’m trying not to think about what would happen if he got on tvtropes. I’ve spent six hours on there for no reason other then following a link. I’d hate to think of someones reaction if they went there for a reason.

The trouble with using maths terminology is that you run a high risk of misusing terms, and making some of your audience realise you’re talking bollocks.

The not-trouble with using maths terminology is that you run a high risk of the overwhelming majority of your audience not caring.

**sigh** You just know that in fifteen years he’d be a drug-addicted prostitute who gets his head blown off on page seven of the new crossover to show how “serious” the new villain is.

Or, alternatively, he’d be the villain, having gone insane from years of studying magic. He’d probably sodomize puppies to show that he’s really, really evil.
