He's not some celebrity, he's a famous published author. If you're bugging John Stamos about stuff like this, that's stupid. But here's a guy who's actively choosing to engage his fanbase and his a famous and respected author. They wanted to know how their poetry was from someone who's advice would be really, really worthwhile.

And you know what, if he's answering the questions and isn't telling people to fuck off with them, then maybe you shouldn't be. What a weird sort of protectiveness you have for him that you feel like you need to rescue him from questions he's answering.

You do realize your first sentence is basically, "He's not a famous person, he's a famous person who writes books", right? Gaiman's a celebrity and he's a famous writer. Those two things are not mutually exclusive.

I wasn't planning on trying to stop people from writing him and I never said they should fuck off. I don't think Gaiman needs rescuing, either. His answer to the question in the secret was short and sweet and very sensible. You're weirdly defensive about this. Sure I think it's dumb to solicit e-hugs from a stranger, but why do you take such offense at my opinion?

"He's not some celebrity", O bright one.

Ah, taking the old "oh you're soooo offended route way to overreact!". It's a bit tired from someone who is trying to protect him from questions you don't like.

Where's the answer to a question in the secret? It's certainly not in the secret , and I haven't seen any replies here that would indicate that Neil Gaiman had randomly shown up. Could you point to what you're talking about?

The answer Gaiman wrote was "Avoid that forum." Look right under fauxcyclop's question by the search bar.

Gaiman's not famous for his poetry, though? He's more known for Sandman and the novels. At any rate, come on. Asking someone to read and give feedback on your poetry is a big favor, and that's why you don't hit up random strangers directly.* It's not polite because it puts people on the spot.



* Posting it online and asking for general feedback is different.

It is a bit delusional, but it's his beef if he wants to deal with that or not, not the OP's.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not on tumblr, so I'm not sure how the etiquette works, but... surely the OP has the right unfollow someone if they want to? It's not like an insult or anything.

[(Anonymous)]

All questions are posted directly to his tumblr--they're submitted to him for him to answer at his leisure.
