Gaiman has announced that to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of The Sandman, a new volume will be produced ; it will include a story about the victory that had exhausted Morpheus prior to the beginning of the original story.

As a result, Adams later stated that he was not entirely happy with the book, which includes several jarring authorial intrusions, which fellow author Neil Gaiman described as " patronising and unfair ".

Having created her, Gaiman used Titania as a recurring character throughout the series, and when he was asked part way through his run on The Sandman to write a script to introduce DC's magical characters to a new audience he gave her a guest role in the resultant mini-series, The Books of Magic.

One ambiguous scene written by Gaiman was interpreted by some to suggest that Queen Titania was the mother of the comic's main character, Timothy Hunter, which ensured that the character would return when the mini-series became an ongoing series.
