Blog: Mr Gaiman sir, I have never read any of your books, which is a bad way to start a fan ask. But regardless of how arrogant/off-putting this may be, I just wanted to say that the way you inspire people and give comfort to so many gives me a lot of joy and hope. I have no insightful comments, nor a deeply touching story, nothing but an appreciation for you and what you do, and continue to do. Thank you so much for everything. from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 2 years, 4 months agoThat’s so kind. Thank you!

Blog: Dear Mr Neil Gaiman, This is less of a question, and more of a thank you letter. I read Good Omens for the first time when I was 16 year old autistic kid who didn’t understand who she was. Now I’m a slightly larger kid at 19 who still doesn’t understand, but is getting there. As a young autistic person, everything in the world seems like it’s designed against you. School, work, social life, are all made harder—not because of my autism—but because of the environment that has been tailored to neurotypical people. It doesn’t help that there is so much blatant hatred for autistic people online, and I’ve found even making a comment mentioning I’m autistic almost always receives some sort of backlash. This ends up feeling isolated and lonely most of the time. A lot of the time, I still feel that way. I spent my otherwise privileged childhood full to the brim with depression, anxiety, confusion, and desperation to understand others. When I read Good Omens, I saw myself for one of the very few times I’ve ever really seen myself in anything. To me, Crowley and Aziraphale represented a dilemma I was familiar with—just not fitting in where they’re supposed to. But Good Omens has a happy ending (at least…the book. And the show thus far) and that part made it that much more meaningful to me. To me, Good Omens is about everything from the nature of humanity to the power of creativity and love. But it was also about a bunch of weirdos, none of them nearly fitting the bill for normal, all ending up working together and even becoming friends. And then I saw what happened when the show premiered. Other people obviously loved the characters, and have since the book came out, but when the show came out and I was reminded of that—I felt a little less lonely. No one found their oddities anything but charming, or at least dimensional, it seemed. I was also brought into a community which is very accepting and largely neurodivergent in and of itself. I still reread Good Omens when the real world is too much. Right now, I’m in the trunk of my car, and the world is too much. I’m about to turn on my Good Omens audiobook, but I thought before I did, I’d say thanks. ln a single book you co-wrote, you impacted my life for the better, and continue to during these times. So thank you. from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 2 years, 4 months agoI’m so glad it helped.

Blog: Hello, can I ask if you are a fan of the work of Adrian Tomine? I’m reading his autobiographical comic ‘The a Loneliness of the Long Distance Cartoonist’ and he mentions you a few times in there, so I was curious if you two had a friendship or it was more a passing acquaintance? from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 2 years, 4 months agoAn acquaintance. I’ve loved his work for years and was thrilled to discover myself in Long Distance Cartoonist.
