Is there anything like purgatory in good omens?

Thanks :)

Whenever I see a theory about Coraline that's like "she didn't really escape she only thinks she did and the Other Mother is just tricking her" I refuse to even consider it or think about it at all because if that were the case it would be sad and I don't want it to be sad! So I simply take the ending at face value. But I told my friend this recently and they said that this was "anti-intellectual" of me. Thoughts?

I don’t know why i never realized you were the one who wrote Fortunately The Milk until i saw an ask talking about it but i loved that book as a kid. i would take it everywhere and i read it so much the fold out pictures were ripping at the folds. i also wanted it to look well read bc i was a weird kid obsessed with old looking books so i would crinkle the edges of every page.

A friend of mine sent me a video of that time you performed Science Fiction Double Feature from Rocky Horror on Craig Ferguson. How on *Earth* did you manage to not laugh during that?

Weird question, but is there anything you’re a fan of you don’t think people would expect you to be a fan of?

Hello Mr Gaiman,

So I don’t know if anyone has asked this before and if they have I apologize, but was wondering, since you actively encourage the writing of fanfiction do you ever read fanfiction based on your own works?

blue-cryptid asked:

Hey, sorry to add another thing to your inbox. I have the first draft of a novel about 90% done, but recently I've been having thoughts of turning it into a graphic novel instead. I can both draw and write, but I was deterred by the idea of doing all of the work myself. After some research, it turns out that a publisher would have a team to help me create it if I were to get my proposal accepted (I'm pretty sure).

I'm still genuinely torn on which direction to go here. The story could work both ways, and when my imposter syndrome isn't yelling at me, I think it could potentially be at least moderately successful in both formats. I'm going to finish the first draft, and maybe that will help me see where to go.

Anyway, my question is, what was the process of creating The Sandman like for you, especially in regards to working with others?

And what advice would you give to someone like me, if you have any?

(You're awesome and an inspiration, by the way.)

Dear Neil Gaiman,

You may recall writing an introduction to an anthology of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories some years ago. In that introduction you suggest that Poe's writing is best enjoyed when it is read aloud. After reading some of his stories and poems aloud to myself, I realized that you had an excellent point.

During the month of October, I have made a habit of spending some extra time reading stories and poems by my favorite Gothic author. Instead of reading to myself or asking the nearest person to read to me;* do you have any suggestions for good audio versions of his written works?

Thank you in advance if you are able to answer this question!

*This request has never produced a positive result. In my experience after you reach "a certain age," people no longer wish to read to you.

xantankerous asked:

Idk if anyone asked this before, and I surely hope for an answer, but I have to ask…. Are you using any A.I. for season 3 of Good Omens? Whether that be backdrops or posters or anything else? In season 2 episode 3, the backdrop when Aziraphale was driving really captivated me on the first watch though and re watching it, it made me think about all that. I really love all your creativity, thank you so much
