George R.R. Martin's Revenge

Here's the original song by  Paul and Storm telling George R. R. Martin to write his books faster.



And then back in 2009, a fan asked Neil Gaiman if Martin owes it to his fans to write faster. Here's his awesome reply:

Look, this may not be palatable, Gareth, and I keep trying to come up with a better way to put it, but the simplicity of things, at least from my perspective is this:
George R.R. Martin is not your bitch.
This is a useful thing to know, perhaps a useful thing to point out when you find yourself thinking that possibly George is, indeed, your bitch, and should be out there typing what you want to read right now.
People are not machines. Writers and artists aren’t machines.

So finally, Martin gets his revenge at this year's Comic Con:

 

Return of the Cybermen

Nightmare in Silver

Angel Benedict

 The radio adaptation of Neil Gaiman's  Neverwhere begins today at 230 PM on Radio 4 in the UK with an hour-long episode on Radio 4 and continues with five 30-minute instalments at 6pm, Monday to Friday, on Radio 4 Extra from 18 March.  Although we here in the US won't be able to listen to it, here's a clip of Benedict Cumberbatch singing as the angel Islington.

Chu's Day

Gaiman and the Fergs

American Gods

Author Neil Gaiman chatting it up with Craig Ferguson last night. Very funny interview as they are obviously big fans of each other. I can't believe Craig had Paris Hilton on first.

Neverwhere

My favorite Neil Gaiman book Neverwhere is on stage at the Lifeline Theatre in Chicago! Perhaps a trip to the Windy City is in order.
