Blog: Hello! Big fan, I loved Neverwhere back in school. I once heard someone, another well-known author I think, say that if they’d put a project away and haven’t made any progress on it after X amount of time, they’d throw it out as it wasn’t worth writing at that point. I have a series of projects that I’ve been working on for the past 9-10 years that I haven’t been able to work on in a very long time. I still think it’s worth finishing, but that quote nags at the back of my mind. I’m curious to know what you think. Thank you from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 3 years, 3 months agoI keep everything, don’t throw anything I write out, and sometimes decades pass between one paragraph and the next.

Blog: Hi, I’ve seen you on my dash a few times and I hope you don’t me mind asking this question, but I’m a former lover of books, who unfortunately cannot comprehend reading books again, but I still want to read. Or at least listen to books. Do you make audiobooks? If so, which ones would you reccomend? Thank you for your time! from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 3 years, 3 months agoI’ve tried to make everything I’ve done as audiobooks, so there are novels and short stories, adaptations and even graphic novels. Here’s a taster. It’s me on vide […]

Blog: Hola Señor Gaiman! I just finished watching Good Omens and I was wondering, in the last episode, wasn’t it incredibly painful (physically) for Crowley to step into Heaven? I mean, it was hard enough for him to go into the church, I imagine there is no more consecrated ground than Heaven itself. I guess it was hard for him to keep his cool in front of the angels. from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 3 years, 3 months agoI don’t think so. I like the idea that Heaven and Hell are just one building. Heaven gets the nice rooms at the top with the views. Hell gets the awful basement r […]

Blog: How do you deal with people reacting negatively to your work— not just in a matter of opinion, but in the sort of ways that lead people to try and ban your work in schools and such, and the ensuing online mob that accompanies thought processes like that? I have an author friend named Jonathan Evison who is currently under a firestorm and is recieving tons of hate and harassment because his book, which deals with a gay coming of age story, had been protested and banned in school districts across the US. People commenting on pictures of his kids calling him a pedophile, telling him he will burn in hell. How do you emotionally deal with this level of misguided vitrol from total strangers? from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 3 years, 3 months agoWhen things like that happen I go away from social media and let it burn itself out, and make art if I can in the meantime. But I don’t try and make things for e […]

Blog: Hi Mr Gaiman, the children’s literature class I’m taking is doing a banned book week and teaching us about reasons why people end up getting their books banned. One of the common reasons was because an author, despite doing their research, wrote about something they personally did not experience (ie a white person writing children’s books teaching them about the history of MLK, or making their protagonists disabled when they personally never experienced it) What do you think about this? Do you think people should only write about things that they personally experienced (like only write what you know) or should everyone be free to write anything as long as they did their research? from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 3 years, 3 months agoI think whoever told you that didn’t do their research on why books are banned and on what books get banned. Here’s the ALA, who run banned books week, and kee […]
