my absolute favorite thing about pliny the elder is the sheer comedic effect that results from an ancient roman who thought that there were only like 170 fish in the sea claiming that the romans knew everything about the world around them. like in one paragraph he’ll say something like ‘isn’t it astounding how much we know about the world!’ and in the next breath he’ll by like ‘and now here is a list of animals that have no blood in their body during certain times of the year’ and it never fails to kill me every time

I have run out of fic to write. Rude.
(meanwhile, all my WIPs in other fandoms are like “…”)

As an (almost) 30-year fan of Good Omens I was terrified I wouldn’t like the show (needlessly! It’s made my month and I suspect my year, thank you SO MUCH for all the work you did to make it worthy of the source material). However, my trepidation means that I didn’t bother going to either the South Bank show or the bookshop, and I’m super sad that I missed them. Do you have any idea if they’ll be repeated, eg when the show comes onto the BBC?
That’s up to the BBC. They haven’t yet told me when Good Omens is going to be broadcast on the BBC, so I have no information.

Hi Mr Gaiman, thank you for all the genuinely Good™ content you've created, in honour of pride month I wanted to ask: If I kissed pollution would I immediately die? Would it be a slow process or just some light poisoning? In your professional opinion, is the risk/reward ratio of kissing a Horseman worth it? Thank you again!
I think you would have to ask @lourdesfaberes to answer that one.

Was the 'gods shaped by and reliant on human belief' in American Gods inspired by the similar deities in Discworld (or vice versa) or did they develop independently?
It’s more inspired by what I was doing in Sandman, and by Roger Zelazny, Harlan Ellison, Thorne Smith, and all the other people who had written about gods fading when belief in them fades. Terry and I had talked about it a lot over the years, but as two people walking the same path, rather than as people copying each other.

butterynutjob asked:
I’ve streamed each episode of good omens at least five or six times now on Amazon prime. I’m curious more money is earned for the show by repeated watchings? Or is it the same, from a financial perspective, as watching it once?
It’s not like streaming a song multiple times. It’s definitely a good thing, people watching it over and over, because it tells Amazon Prime Video that people like it, and they don’t just like it a little bit, they really like it. In the case of something like Good Omens, which is a critical hit, it also helps Amazon to be able to know that it’s a commercial hit (on their metrics). People are watching it and loving it, telling other people to watch it and generally attracting attention to it, all over the world. Which means that Amazon feel that their investment in it was justified, and they may look on kindly if I want to do something else one day.
