Ask Neil Gaiman

← Back to Stories (view on slashdot.org)

Posted by Roblimo on Monday September 22, 2003 @05:17AM from the nights-are-endless-for-the-sandman's-gods dept.

A very special "call for questions" today: Neil Gaiman, author of The Sandman, a series whose long-awaited resurrection was -- not coincidentally -- announced last week. Neil is also winner of the uncoveted Roblimo's favorite book of the 21st Century so far award for American Gods, and a free speech activist who has concentrated -- again, not coincidentally -- on comic book and graphic novel authors' and vendors' freedoms. Please read this interview, listen to this NPR interview, and check other material about Neil before you ask questions, in order to avoid triteness. We'll send 10 of the highest-moderated questions to Neil tomorrow, and post his answers when he gets them back to us.

Neil,

I greatly enjoyed your anal sex with Adolf H. last night. After watching both of you fucking for hours, a question came to mind:

WHY ARE YOU SUCH A UGLY FAGOT?

Get a life, Mr Gheyman.

Thanks for your time,/AC

Do the fanboys stick to figuratively sucking your dick, or do they do it literally as well?

Who are you and what have you done lately that might be interesting to anyone but a homosexual slashbot geek like Roblimo?

  No doubt. Following the link to Roblimo's page had me looking at a picture of some guy who'd be caught getting blown in a public park.

There is to be only a narrow, biased question range. The only things that questions may pertain to are the following:
writing
celebrity
rest stop glory holes
That is all.

Dozens of people love your books but I'm not one of them. However, after seeing one of your comic books being shared on eDonkey I couldn't resist stealing it to put in my warez collection.

What would be really cool and would make me the envy of all the other doodz on my donkey server, is if you signed it. To save bandwidth (we're all responsible netizens after all) perhaps you can send me your private GPG key and I'll do it for you...

Ta in advance.

I think that the issue now belongs to Stephen King's estate.

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

scanning a comic is quite trivial.. any thoughts on why it isn't happening?..would you have a problem with this person?

Dear puntloos,
The reason why this isn't happening is because no one gives a shit. The person I have a problem with is you.
Sincerely,
Neil
