rainywithachanceofstars asked:
Have you ever made the acquaintance of Diane Duane, or do you know of her in a general fellow-writers sort of way? She’s quite wonderful.
She’s lovely. In the Good Old Days she and her husband Peter Morwood and Terry Pratchett and I would eat together whenever we found ourselves in the same place, or try and sit together if it was one of those long tables you wind up at when a dozen or more people at a convention head out into the night to find somewhere to dine. I have fond memories of those conversations to this day.

hello mr. gaiman. happy 2022.
I was wondering if within the GO universe there is a way for angels to die in a similar way to demons with holy water? In the first great rebellion, were the only casualties freshly fallen demons?
Yes, Hellfire. (See the end of episode 6.)
prismatic-bell asked:
Requesting information translation, please. In GO, when the kids are talking about ice cream and Pepper says there aren't 32 flavors of ice cream in the whole world, does the UK really not sell a whole lot of different flavors? (Or perhaps does now but didn't when it was written?) Or is that supposed to reflect Adam's whole affecting-the-world thing, where he's familiar with the flavors he sees in cartoons and that's about it?
In the UK I grew up in there were only three ice cream flavours - vanilla, chocolate and pink. For sophisticates, there was something called Neopolitan which was vanilla, chocolate AND pink. In squares.
Baskin and Robbins turned up when I was about 17. Terry and I liked the idea that Adam’s world was always behind the times, because of Adam, so even if it was 1989, his world was mostly 1950-1975.
[Deep Dish Nine is a all-human pizza shop-based Star Trek Deep Space Nine AU primarily revolving around Garak/Bashir that I and several other people collectively hallucinated in 2013. It’s been a long time since I’ve had to explain that and it has not become less weird to say. It had its own little mini-fandom for a bit and I made A Lot. }
Nothing I have to offer is finished, and could conceivably end up where it was meant to be in the final thing someday, but as tribute for paying for my meds and January’s rent, I offer what scraps I can.
This was all probably written in 2014 and this is the whole of the document containing it.
