what a great meaningful encounter to have! i will be reading my first neil gaiman book here shortly. i feel so behind not having read his work before. the book, american gods, actually belongs to my son. he’s an avid reader and is mr. gaiman’s fan as well. thanks for sharing this story. it was very well-written, and it’s nice to see this connection between neil and his fans.

Having tried to forge a Meaningful Encounter with another of my favourite authors (Diana Gabaldon) and hoping to be able to do so with Neil as well, I’d like to thank you for relating your story.
And congratulations on making your way into Neil’s Tumblr feed

That book cover is drool worthy. The picture of your young self… well, I kinda wish I was still your student so I could give you a hard time about it in class =). Kidding, I think it’s great. SDCC, also great. Neil Gaiman, well, I know nothing except for what you wrote here, so I think I’ll have to go read some of his stuff now.

I was there, too, and also stood in line (probably somewhere near where you were)–and I also had to come up with something to say so I didn’t just flail about and make an ass of myself.

I managed to, and he was so gracious to me as well. I’m also a writer, and the hardest people for me to talk to are writers I admire, who have inspired me.

Thank you for sharing your story.

You probably know this already, but Neil just mentioned this article at Twitter, so I’m quite sure he remembers it, at least now. : D

Great article. I was there as well, and Neil was charming as ever.

I met him at my first SDCC as well, and at several since then. Each time he was patient and sincere.

Oh, and I have a signed Angels & Visitations too!

I dig your work, Scott. I’d love to work with you on a comic someday.

Cheers,
j.

Thanks for sharing this encounter and your history with his work. It brought a tear to my eye! This is a good example of the power of his connection to his readers that Dana Goodyear didn’t understand or show respect for in her New Yorker profile.
