Gaiman, on the controversy


“I think it’s fair to say that the astonishing thing is how enthusiastically the American, Canadian (and British?) people involved in the Hugos took to censorship. I’m proud of the whistleblower, and am still puzzled by the removal of Sandman Episode 6. But this appears to have been what was going on”



The fuckwads! I went and bought Babel and Iron Widow, just because they were “ineligible”

While I’ve obviously done this because I have a peurile and juvenile mind, the talk proper, is amazing with a lot a wisdom. (hard earned wisdom)

I’m counting my sheep
and each one that passes is another dream to ashes
And they all fall down


And as I lay me down tonight
I close my eyes
What a beautiful sight


I’m sleeping to dream about you
I’m so damn tired … of having to live without you
But I don’t mind …
