THE THIRTEEN CLOCKS Animated Thurber Wonderfulness →
I narrated the opening of “The Thirteen Clocks”, and they’ve animated it into something wonderful. Go to the site and click on Click here to watch now.
nijimei asked: Hi Neil, I just watched the English dub of Princess Mononoke and in the credits it says you "adapted" the Tarara Women's work song and the main theme. What does that mean exactly? (I'm assuming something to do with turning the translation back into poetry) Nevertheless, it was awesome to see your name in the credits for my favorite movie of all time.
WIL WHEATON dot TUMBLR: Congressional Reform Act... →
I wonder which Congressperson would actually like to bell the cat and suggest it…
wilwheaton:
This is incorrectly attributed to Warren Buffet. Regardless of who came up with it, it’s still a good idea:
No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
Congress (past, present & future) participates in...

reinstalluniverse asked: Would you ever consider making an appearance at one of the North American Discworld Conventions? I know its not your series, but you and Terry are so incredibly witty and it would be so wonderful to see both the authors of "Good Omens" in one spot. In America. In my adult life. =)
pianoandpage asked: do you have a favorite song that amanda has written?
bloodstainedtulipproductions asked: Sorry if you've answered this before, but is the graveyard in 'The Graveyard Book' Highgate Cemetery? (And thank you for a wonderful book!)
einekleinecrazytalk asked: Hi. Google and Yahoo have let me down completely so I am going to pester the source over the internetz. Could you please direct me to the original quote regarding how the punk DIY ethos informed your work, that a person could do a thing just by doing it, pleaseandthankyou? I have impressionable minds I want to influence in this regard.
boxofoctaves-deactivated2012101 asked: How do you take your coffee?
onahighnote asked: Neil, i read an article where you spoke about Ms. Clarke's Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, and your words spurred me to purchase the book. This behemoth of a fantasy novel is basically perfect. A little wordy, but I loved it. Great recommendation. Any other lesser known suggestions for a fantasy lover? (i seem to have exhausted my library's collection of Discworld novels as well)
thereisaheroinallofus-deactivat asked: So I saw that you said that if you own the Hill House readers' edition of American Gods then there's not much point in buying the 10th Anniversary edition and I was wondering if the same applied to the Headline version in the UK? I own Fragile Things and have read Monarch Of The Glen in that. Is there anything I'm missing out on in the 10th Anniversary edition?

"NEIL GAIMAN PRESENTS IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS" BLOG! →
The website is running slow right now — we’re suffering a DDoS attack from China, someone trying to hack into allhallowsread.com from Portugal, and there’s general traffic overload just to complicate things even more — but it’s worth seeing if this journal entry is there yet to follow all the links on “Neil Gaiman Presents” that are up on my website.
This...

hodgepodge-ofablog asked: Hello! So, it is entirely likely that you have answered this before unbeknownst to me, (if so, please ignore this then) but out of curiosity, who is your favourite Doctor? Alternatively, if you could have any Doctor come back for one season, who would you pick?
celbelrai asked: Hi Neil- just wondering if you had an opinion on the occupy movement. I like the way you think from your writing, so I would like to think with you about the flesh-and-blood world as well.
jimoth001 asked: Neil, regarding the 10th Anniversary edition of American Gods just published. Is this the same "preferred text" as the "preferred text" in the Hill House edition? Or is this even more "preferred". Thanks!

stars-walkbackwards-deactivated asked: Do you think being a writer is a realistic goal for young people? What should we say to others who may say we should not write as a profession?
