It's Neil Gaiman's 56th birthday today. Something nice

>>87614564
Why couldn't I ever meet Ray Bradbury, you lucky mother fucker

>also, shouldn't this be on /lit/ ?

>>87614564
He wrote Sandman, Miracleman:Golden Age and is a fanatastic writer when in his element. Nice Enough?

He's done pretty well for a man who doesn't know how to read.

My daughter finally stopped watching Frozen all the time because she _loves_ Coraline, so I thank him for that.

No it's not! Say something nice about his sexual prowess right now!

Reminder he and his wife had a MFF threesome with Stoya while she was dressed as Death of the Endless.

>>87614672
Um? He's better than his wife?

He is a nice man.

>>87614708
All the Brit Invasion writers are creepy freaks be he sounds like he was the only one with an impressive sex life.

>>87614564
Is he morphing into a Hedge Wizard like Moore as he gets older?

>>87614564
I hope you get killed by ragheads you fucking pedo sympathizer

Also Sandman Overture was shit

>>87614910
Moore and Morrison probably had/have too.

>>87614708
What the fuck? Source? Gaiman's the only British Invasion writer I haven't gotten to yet. I'll read him right now if he's had sex with my favorite porn star.

>>87614708

Happy Birthday!
I seem to recall liking Good Omens.

he's probably done some wild stuff that makes gaiman a vanillafag

>>87614564
When is he going to write another Doctor Who episode?

>>87615096
>I seem to recall liking Good Omens.
How could you not? Though to me it seemed more like a Pratchett book with Gaiman there to tone down the too Pratchett-y parts.

>>87615388
Well, it's been a long time since I read it, so I don't recall specifics other than War being a hot biker babe in red.

>>87615169

Do you want proof that The Doctor's Wife was just a fluke?

>>87615453
Wait, are you saying The Doctor's Wife was a good or a bad episode? If you're saying it's good than I disagree with your because Neil Gaiman's a good guy and it's not a fluke for him to write a good episode. If you're saying thats a bad episode then fuck you buddy, I liked it.

>>87615518
Agreed. The second episode he wrote, the Cyberman one, was bad because of shitty direction and acting.

>>87615518
>>87615453
As far as I'm concerned he wrote one great episode (The Doctor's Wife) and one meh episode (Nightmare in Silver). So that's not saying anything. But he has expressed interest in writing for Capaldi, and that he'd like to bring back the Yeti from the classic series, so I'd like to see him do it.

>>87614564
I took a class taught by him once. He told me that, in Sandman, he made The Tempest and Midsummer Night's Dream plays made by Dream because they are the only Shakespeare plays that, in real life, we cannot trace the origins of (though he speculates The Tempest was based on tales of the Bermuda triangle).
The class was a bit of a mess, but he showed me some cool movies and gave some great writing tips. I also love Whatever Happened to The Caped Crusader and Sandman. He is a pretty cool guy, thanks for being cool Gaiman.

Neverwhere story time when?

Moore did, but then his wife ran off with their girlfriend.

Gaiman's the only one that's kept a stable marriage.

That's not Alan Moore.

Also, it's pretty widely accepted that Gaiman is a great writer, on top of being really cute.

>>87617128

American Gods is my favourite novel even if it isn't objectively very good and I read it every year.

Wasn't Gaiman a guest star in Arthur? You know you've made it when you guest star in Arthur.

>>87614611
I got to meet him, and have him sign two of his books. It was great!

He was great on The Simpsons.

>>87614564

Leonard Cohen died on his birthday so, that's that.

>>87614708
Do you think Gaiman had the hots for his creation?

He's a complete cuck and when his wife had a concert here in Australia he watched as she flirted heavily with someone backstage, even giving him her number.

>>87614564
his wife's music is pretty good

>>87615585

I agree.

>>87615518

The Doctor's Wife was great. Nightmare in Silver not so much.

These new paperbacks with the Robert McGinnis covers are stellar.

>>87614564
He looks significantly less like a crazy homeless person than his good friend Alan Moore.
Also, congrats on turning 56 Neil. Put out some more short story collections.

>>87617109
Its spurned that Stoya once did cosplay as death and Neil followed her post. Search her twitter.

I think there's also something confirming his wife has interacted with Stoya.

>>87617579
An unfortunate side effect of Gaiman's appearance is that when turned into a cartoon character he looks like a school shooter.

>>87618524
I'm surprised they're still together. But I'm also surprised that I forgot her age I thought she was much younger than she currently is.

>>87618672
Neil and his wife seem to be one of the few couples that can make an open marriage work equally. Possibly because Neil seems to be such an easygoing guy.

>>87618524
im pretty sure his wife made a music video where her and stoya are but naked in a bed together having sex or something.

>>87617109
>There's no fucking source to this. It's nonsense that people like to spread because it seems interesting

Like Amanda Conner and her husband being swingers at cons

>>87617679

Red Son is entry level and damn good.
Keep in mind that the bit at the end was suggested to him by Morrison, who he was pretty much a protégé to at the time.
Now they kinda hate each other.

>>87618985
He dislikes Gaiman.

You don't know that, son

Incredibly likeable guy. Love his ideas and characters. Sexy ass voice. But a lot of the time he writes like he wants to be quoted, and that bugs me.

He was kind of weak on that Frankenstein/vampire origin special, but that whole thing was pretty meh anyway.

Neil Gaiman always comes across as one of the nicest people ever to me. Like how he looks and how he seems to carry himself in interviews. He isn't bitter, no agenda, no tilt, he seems to have a genuine enjoyment of the work he does.

From something to Sandman to children's books.

What are you babbling on about? American Gods is getting a premium-cable series ran by Bryan Fuller and featuring Ian Fucking McShane as Wednesday. You dont't get more quality than that.

>>87614564
One if the best authors currently alive.

>>87624512
If I saw literally any other comic book writer holding that thing I'd be worried but he'd probably just tell me some ancient Persian legend about chainsaws and I'd spend the next week wondering if it was a real legend or if he made it up on the spot.

>>87617070
from what is that?
I bought all his Sandman books expect the manga and the very recent prequel

>>87626903
Books of Magic, 1991, issue #4.
Tim Hunter, a boy that looks like Harry Potter a decade early, gets told by the Trenchcoat Brigade of the Phantom Stranger, Constantine, Dr. Occult, and Mr. E, that he has the potential to be the strongest magic user of the age. They tour him through the magic side of DC.

>>87626959
why does death show up in it?

>>87626993
Mr. E has an absolute Black and White worldview, and sees Tim as being too dangerous.
Each issue is another teacher guiding him, and Mr. E takes him to the far future so he can kill the boy without anyone around.
They go too far, and end up at the End of Everything, so naturally, Destiny and Death are there.

Is Anansi Boys good? I liked American Gods.

She's apparently really sweet when she wants to be. Some sjw chick tried to browbeat her for marrying a guy, and Amanda tore into her. So she loves Gaiman if nothing else.

The Books of Magic are one reason I can't really enjoy Harry Potter that much. It always felt like Rowling had skimmed the synopsis before writing her books, I know she didn't but it's stuck in my head.
