I’m a bit late o this game, but you absolutely have to read Jim C. Hines“20 Neil Gaiman Facts”. Hines, a humor fantasist, takes the whole Chuck Norris phenomenon and turns it into one for the speculative fiction crowd.
1. Neil Gaiman once wrote a Nebula-winning story using only the middle row of his keyboard.
2. Harper Collins has taken out a 2.5 million dollar insurance policy on Neil Gaiman’s accent.
3. If you write 1000 words and Neil Gaiman writes 1000 words, Neil Gaiman has written more than you.
4. Neil Gaiman does not use Microsoft’s grammar-check. Microsoft uses a Gaiman-check.
5. Neil Gaiman once did the New York Times crossword puzzle in pen. In fifteen minutes. He won two Hugo awards for it.
Read the rest. Read ‘em. I dare ya.
