GLITTERING SCRIVENER: GIVE HER HONEY WHEN YOU HEAR... →
mariadahvanaheadley:
Public/Writer Service Announcement: I have a new story up at Lightspeed Magazine today. It’s lovers and labyrinths and monsters and some pragmatic, bloody magic.
I started writing it last fall, after Neil Gaiman brought me with him to a random, glorious dinner with first one magician…

ceci-nest-pas-une asked: Hello! Your episode of Doctor Who was absolutely fantastic, and if you don't mind I have a few questions about it for research that I'm doing on the representation of women in Doctor Who. 1) Your episode made it canon that a Time Lord can change their gender in a regeneration, but it wasn't in earlier versions of the script. Why did you include the line that the Corsair had been a...

thelastvisibledog asked: Wanted to let you know that the Death mash-ups you posted were from The Super Team Family Blog. The creator of that blog does cross company mash-ups using Marvel Team-Up, Two-in-One, and Brave and the Bold covers. It's a really great site, and I want to make sure he gets credit for it. It's at braveandboldlost.blogspot.c0m
agenthill asked: I heard a rumor that you would be at the George Mason University Bookfair at 10am on September 27th. Is it true? If so, how can one register to get in?

Waving from the wilderness
I’m off in the highlands and islands of Scotland for a bit right now, following the wonderful experience of Hitchhiker’s Live in Edinburgh, and before I return to Edinburgh for An Evening With Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer at the Queen’s Theatre on the 12th of August.
There’s no cell service here. There’s barely any connection unless I drive 16 miles. I can more or...
subsistingonarsenic asked: If I understood correctly, you said you got invited to the Dark Knight Rises premiere because some of your work was used. I thought it would be easy to identify because you haven't written that much Batman, but I've seen (and loved) the film twice now and didn't catch it. Which bits were yours?
xandrainjapan asked: If someone held a gun to your head and told you that you had to choose your favorite author, who would you say?
notabomb asked: Hello - the Buffalo Soldier print is my work. It was part of a series of lithos I did on anthropomorphized Civil War tin types/daguerreotypes I created in 2007. I'd be happy to send you the link to the original image (on Flickr). The posted images are just a sample of my work - Thanks, Chris Minney

tourdelizzy asked: Last night I dreamed you attended my birthday party, but all you got me was a clothesline. Do you usually give such bad gifts?

txwatson asked: Has the writing advice, "Open a vein and bleed on the page," ever been any help to you? It makes sense to me in a sort of abstract way, but I feel like I can't connect with it. Do you know any other ways to say what that means, which might be clearer to someone who doesn't quite get it when it's said like that?
borg-booze-baking-and-babies asked: So I read that the lovely Amanda Palmer will be shooting a video in Oklahoma City, any chance you will be coming as well and possibly (please, please, please) be doing some kind of appearance or event or at least frequenting some place we can fangirl all over you?

WatchFrom WIRED. Probably the only interview I’ll do about SANDMAN: THE NEW THING until it actually gets close to coming out.

Upworthy has a Tumblr now. Tumblrs are cool.
upworthy:
Our mission, now that we have chosen to accept it, is simple: We want to make meaningful things go as crazy-viral as Keyboard Cat (and now you have that song stuck in your head). And you — yes you, right there, reading this sentence right now — can help.
We believe that the world would be a better place if more people knew more stuff — not only that gay marriage should be legal or...

omnomlemons-deactivated20130125 asked: Do you have advice for signings? Specifically how not to make it awkward. Paying at a convention to say hi and get a book signed always makes me feel like a punter paying for services.
strangedigestives asked: Is it different meeting authors you read and admire, or used to admire, as an author yourself?

alexanderperchov asked: This is somewhat an odd question, really, but I was just wondering if you'd be willing to share what Captain Shakespeare's name at birth was, if you know it. I mean, he says he picked the name himself, so clearly he was born something else. Also, I was wondering if he grew up on the ship, or if he was raised on and off, maybe sometimes living with his mother on land, or something like...
writless asked: So, as a super famous person, do you get random invites to these kinds of things? (spectacular movie premiers) or is this a scenario of 'I would like to see that' and your 'people' take care of such things?

Stardust →
kambriel:
In seemingly perfect timing as details of Neil Gaiman’s newest (and absolutely enchanting, antique-inspired) upcoming editions of “Stardust” are about to be released, so too has there been a kind of reincarnation of this coat worn by the grey ghost spirit of Prince Septimus in the 2007 Stardust feature film.
Neil had this coat, treasured alongside some other Stardust wardrobe pieces...
