Blog: I’m very disappointed to hear you’re auctioning off an NFT. I don’t care if it’s for charity, they are incredibly harmful for multiple reasons and are basically a pyramid scheme. An image that is NOT an NFT would not cause harm like they do. They’re environmentally harmful and exist to shore up cryptocurrency. I really respect you as an author and a person and I’m was really disappointed to hear about this. from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 2 years, 9 months agoI know. My opinion of NFTs is incredibly low. But I was willing, along with Khaled Hosseini and several others, to donate something to this auction because I know […]

Blog: Do you ever feel envious about what other writers have achieved? When I wasn’t published I wanted to be published, and now that I’m published I want to make more money and hit certain milestones, and if those two events happen, I know there will be new peaks I want to hit. But you seem like you’re at the top of the mountain. Are you ever envious? Are there higher peaks you want to reach? from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 2 years, 9 months agoI’m envious of writers who just get to write, and don’t have to run TV shows and suchlike. I’d like more quiet writing time. But I long long long ago decid […]

Blog: I had a thought while rewatching GO. When Aziraphale is discorporated, he realizes that angels can’t possess humans, but “demons can.” He then goes over to the earth, asks how to work it, and says, “oh well, I’ll figure it out as I go.” Does he assume that by disobeying and going back to earth, he will have fallen, and become a demon? Which would put multiple meanings for having to figure it out as he goes. from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 2 years, 9 months agoNo, it’s more that he realises that as Angels and Demons are the same kind of beings, if Demons can do it, then he probably can too.

Blog: I know this is a long shot but hi there! My name is Olivia and I’m a fifteen year old from Scotland. I would love to work in the film industry one day but gaining that experience in Scotland is proving to be hard and my school wants me to get some sort of work experience (they probably mean along the lines of working at a local coffee shop but you know what they say, go big or go home!) so I was wondering if I could shadow someone (even for a few hours) on the set of Good Omens or Anansi Boys. I have grown up around your work and I absolutely adore it (big fan of Neverwhere) so the opportunity to work around one of your projects would mean the absolute world to me. So, that’s my question. Could I shadow someone on set to try and gain some set experience? I’ll try my best to not go full fangirl mode. from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 2 years, 9 months agoI don’t know. Let me find out who to ask. It’s a LOT harder than it used to be, due to Covid protocols.

Question regarding Aziraphale: It’s established that he’s not into Sound of Music. Do you think he’d still enjoy Julie Andrews? from

Blog: A student of mine asked me if we could read a scary book as our last novel study of the school year, and I want to teach them Coraline. Do you have any advice on teaching a class of fifth and sixth graders the novel?

Blog: I don’t know if you tolerate pedantry but you just reblogged the bee orchid comic which is a pet peeve of mine. I’ve done a bad job of explaining it previously but 1) that specific species of bee orchid is only like that in the british isles and norn Europe, the bee still exists and pollinates the orchid in southern Europe. It’s more likely it was able to move that far north by backing out of that crazy strategy. 2) Ginkgos never had pollinators, in fact their pollination biology is exceptionally bizzare for other reasons. I respect what the OPs are going for in that post. But the info’s not quite accurate. Like Gingos are perhaps the one organism that’s existed unchanged and with good fossil evidence longer than any other, so of all plants to say something about is biology was different in the past, it’s like the one I would never choose. from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 2 years, 9 months agoPoint taken. But if you tell me that Giant Ground Sloths didn’t eat avocados and poop out the pits you will break my heart.

Blog: hey neil! as filming for series 2 is ongoing, me and my others are wondering about when a trailer is dropping. but that got me wondering when exactly in the production process a trailer is made? I’d suspect it to be after all production is finished, but I thought I’d ask just in case I’m incorrect. when, at least in your experience working with shows and movies, is a trailer produced? from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 2 years, 9 months agoNormally way after everything is shot and cut together.
