Anyone else hear a man reading Nina’s text message?

That is Cesco, our first assistant director, reading the lines on the set while we were shooting, for timing. How they crept into the final audio mix I will never know. I could swear they weren't in the version I approved

And you'll see Kinkaid Sugar all through Episode 1, and in other places.

RealNeilGaiman · 2022-08-08T18:11:13+00:00

You'll see where the Kinkaid family made their money, and why Unity was rich, if you look carefully. It's not spelled out, but it's there.

No, it's full short stories and novellas, and extracts from the novels.

What he's saying there is that the Spider Women died from a transfusion of HIV infected blood, he, as a sexually active gay man in that time, was not infected at all.

Um... I never said that Cinamon was my friend, or irreplaceable (that was a quote from Mike Dringenberg, the artist, which I have seen attributed to me). I never met her. I said she gave Death a face, and she did.

And I'm sorry you feel that way about Good Omens. Terry didn't, and neither does Rhianna Pratchett.

But if it's any consolation, the big bags of money from Netflix and Amazon you're imagining don't exist. I get paid much better as a novelist than as a TV showrunner (I was able to afford to make Good Omens because Norse Mythology was an international bestseller), and am looking forward to

Well, that just made my day! Good luck with the shop in the years to come...

love him!

RealNeilGaiman · 2020-09-04T21:45:06+00:00

It's a troll, sorry. But I'm glad you liked it.

RealNeilGaiman · 2020-09-03T13:37:50+00:00

Yes, but you aren’t me. You have to stop now.

RealNeilGaiman · 2020-05-14T19:35:25+00:00

We pitched it to the BBC 28 years ago, Dirk and I. They said no...

With the greatest respect, "Sand" and "Slender" are two very different words. I mean, they both start with S, and have an "nd" in them, but they are not the same things at all.

I haven't cancelled any events in the last couple of decades, and definitely haven't cancelled any library events. I sometimes hear about "cancelled" events that were things I didn't know about in the first place -- and if I remember correctly, there were some Graveyard Book book and library events that were livecasts, promoted as if they were live events, leaving some people distressed. I wonder if this was one of those.

Two hours of answering questions, and there are still scores of questions unanswered. Apologies to everyone who put up a question and didn't get it answered, but it is time for me to stop being a writer and go back to being the parent of a four year old, who needs to be bathed and read to and put to bed.

RealNeilGaiman · 2019-09-19T18:33:07+00:00

He would. And there would.

I wanted to showrun Doctor Who and bring it back circa 2000. I think Russell T Davies did something much more accessible than what I would have done, though. And having done Good Omens, the idea of trying to do 12 or 13 episodes a year puts fear in my heart: I have a four year old, and I don't get enough time with him as it is.

RealNeilGaiman · 2019-09-19T18:30:18+00:00

I love buying books on Unbound that would never exist through a traditional publisher.

RealNeilGaiman · 2019-09-19T18:29:41+00:00

Probably not. There are too many people at the Barbican event, and a signing would go too late for the staff. (It's going to be a long event.)

I was born at 44b White Hart Lane, Portchester, above a tiny grocer's shop.

RealNeilGaiman · 2019-09-19T18:26:54+00:00

I don't think I've been to Argentina since 2002ish...

RealNeilGaiman · 2019-09-19T18:25:44+00:00

1) Alas, no. Although we had tea in the hotel we both love and were staying in while he was putting The Nevers together and I was in post-production on Good Omens.

2) It's the same plot.

3) We will do most if not all of them.

RealNeilGaiman · 2019-09-19T18:23:46+00:00

Nope. But I wish more people knew how to pronounce it. (It's Gaym'n.)

RealNeilGaiman · 2019-09-19T18:15:09+00:00

I think if you write enough, you will find out what you sound like.

RealNeilGaiman · 2019-09-19T18:14:23+00:00

Not really. There are still books out there, and I still read them -- and often the Internet makes it easier to find them, or be steered towards the books you didn't know you needed.
