It's too late now. I'll probably never grow up and get a real job. I suppose I will just have to keep making things up and writing them down.

@neilhimself @ColleenDoran I note that you are using PledgeBox for fulfillment of the project. Given that this is your first time using PledgeBox I hope that you are doing your due diligence to make sure that they don't do anything stupid, like giving customers a 30-minute window to download stuff, because -- DANG! -- that would sure be annoying.

@blaisefaint @ColleenDoran the Terry Pratchett estate is managing the project. If there are problems with Pledgemanager can you let them know?

Hello, when I see questions like this on Tumblr, and your answers @neilhimself, I always smile. Then Sandman crosses my mind and I comment as below. But, even if you are only a dream, sir, you make this world worth to live in. ❤️🌍 I would spend hours talking with you about all that you know and want to share, not only about books. Some people, as I can see, often seems to forget you are a man, a human being like us, before to be a famous writer. PS: I love when you reply with sarcastic words. 😎😌

Treated myself to a new book today. I would never have discovered it if it hadn't been for the wonderful @neilhimself . Can't wait to start reading it but I have The Dark Is Rising sequence to finish first. #Bookstodon #Books

The back cover. It says "All is not what it seems. In the murky London night, a knife wielding gentleman named Jack prowls the streets with his faithful watchdog Snuff - gathering together the grisly ingredients they will need for an ancient and unearthly rite. For soon after the death of the moon, black magic will summon the Elder Gods back into the world. And all manner of Players, both human and undead, are preparing to participate. Some have come to open the gates. Some have come to slam them shut. Now the dread night approaches - so let the Game begin.

@Monina6969 @golgaloth well you'll probably enjoy Season 3 then. It's a lot more like Season 1.

Finished Diane Duane's "Spock's World."

This novel was written in the '80s but it could easily have been written in 2018. 5/5 stars no notes. Worth a read.

I just found @neilhimself god damn Gaiman here on #Mastodon and apparently he's had an account for more than a year?? Can someone confirm that it's the real Neil and explain to me what he's doing away from #Tumblr 😂👌

@clueless_capybara I'm afraid not. Neil Gaiman has no social media.

Amazon US are doing a Black Friday deal on The Sandman book 1. 560 pages down from $29.99 to $13.40. Obviously I'd prefer that you bought it from an independent book or comic shop. And obviously I know some of you are on a budget where this could make a difference.

This may answer many questions about Dead Boy Detectives:

In celebration of the birthday of @neilhimself here is the first page of the first of four one-issue short stories he penned as part of the Tharg's Future-Shocks series. This one is from Prog 488 of 2000AD, published on the 20th of September, 1986: "You're Never Alone With A Phone!" Script by Neil Gaiman with artwork by the late John Hicklenton and lettering by Tom Frame. #NeilGaiman #2000AD

@neilhimself I love what you’re doing with Miracleman! I collected all of the old Eclipse stuff back in the day, and I was reading it annually right up until you began releasing more. I was wondering if the issues that are coming out now were completed recently or if they were done back in the day and are only being released now?

neilhimself,
@neilhimself@mastodon.social avatar

@pmarrone part three and half of part four were written in 1993, but Mark redrew them.

@neilhimself Hey Neil, big fan! Any possibility of the American Gods series returning? Why did it have so many issues with actors and show runners?

neilhimself,

@Nadru I don't know why -- while it was being made in Canada I was in the UK working on Good Omens. I'd love to see it finish though.

Another good question to ask, legally speaking...

Did Amazon Prime let content providers know in advance that they were giving Amazon the right to run ads in their content?

How do they feel about this?

@neilhimself , any thoughts about having Good Omens chopped up with ads?! Will any of the revenue make its way back to cast & crew?

@neilhimself@mastodon.social avatar

@KraftTea I don't know anything about it.
