Blog: Hi Neil. Not an ask per day but rather an update, I had written to you about 2-3 years ago at the lowest point of my life. I’d like to say that what you wrote to me (take life as it is, what is happening might be good in hindsight- I’m paraphrasing) did work out perfectly. As someone with cptsd and depression, this helped me AND pushed me to do better. I now have an amazing partner (cause of my previous reach-out) and I became a sub editor in one of the leading newspapers in my country. You had always been an inspiration in my pursuance of writing, and trying to seek the “magic” is what got me here. Thank you. from Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 1 year, 7 months ago
I’m so glad!

Blog: Hi Mr. Gaiman! I just saw the post about the worst bookshop ever, and thought you’d like a story about a bookshop that never opened! So I used to live in a small coal town that had a wave pool and a book store on the same street. Both facilities ended up being weird as hell for wildly different reasons, probably due to the fact that you shouldn’t keep books too close to water. I wont get into the wave pool drama, but I will tell you about the only time the bookstore was ever open. A friend and I had walked to the convenience store for a snack, and on the way back she noticed a light on in the store so we excitedly scampered over to find a work crew milling around the front doors. Apparently the shop had a new owner, which was exciting, but it was going to be a tackle shop so all books Had to Go. They invited us to take a look around and make off with as many books as we could carry, which we found out gleefully, was a lot. The shop itself was …odd. Books of all stripes and colors stacked with no regard for organization, double and triple shelved in ancient sagging bookcases, dust so thick that we left footprints and fingerprints in our wake. Cobwebs swagged the ceiling and made delicate arches between stacks of books that were so tall the touched the ceiling. We looked around, and then looked at each other. “This is a fairy ring,” we decided. Definitely time to go and not piss off the ghosts and spiders that had been there for 20 years. The work crew could deal with that. So we gingerly snatched books from piles and shelves, thanked the guys, and scampered home with our loot. The next day the bookshop was closed again, the men were gone, and it never reopened in the time that I lived there. I still have a couple books left from the loot pile, so I have proof that the memories are in fact truth, and not fiction. Later I learned that the store was a mob front, which is still less exciting (and dangerous) than a fairy ring. from Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 1 year, 7 months ago
And then again, mob fronts and fairy rings are not entirely exclusive.

Blog: Hello Mr. Gaiman! Really random question, but do you have a favorite musical? from Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 1 year, 7 months ago
Depending on my mood, it’s Sweeney Todd, or it’s Sunday in the Park with George, or it’s Pacific Overtures, or it’s Assassins.

Blog: Hi, Mr. Gaiman. I see that you recently answered a question about Douglas Adams. I’m a big fan of his too, and I enjoyed your book about him. Here is my question: if you were asked to write a new Hitchhiker or Dirk Gently book, like Eoin Colfer was a few years ago, would you like to do it? from Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 1 year, 7 months ago
No.

Blog: Neil, I have a question related to my current English class, where they ask how you would react to the verdict of Tom Robinson in To Kill a Mockingbird based on your “Credo- What I Believe” text. I figured you would think it was some sort of grave injustice, as should be the intention of the book and the POV of the main character. But I did want to ask you personally to confirm this. from Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 1 year, 7 months ago
I don’t see how anyone, whether they wrote Credo or not, could read To Kill a Mockingbird and not see what happens to Tom Robinson as a grave miscarriage of j […]
