jukeboxhound_backupMe: "So. Aziraphale and Crowley. Drinking buddies, really?"
Gaiman: *dryly* "You want me to legitimize slasher's canon?"
Me: "...Yes?"
HE KNOWS ABOUT US SLASHERS OH DEAR LORD NO. And then Dual, who was getting her own book signed just after me, promptly embarrassed herself as well, or at least is convinced she did, but you'd have to check out![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dual_avi for her own POV. *laughing* Let's just say that we can now be certain he doesn't like Real Person Fiction any more than we do.
His favorite font is the unusual one in Sandman: Season of Mists, but he doesn't remember what it's called.
Oh. Oh fangirls and their accidental dorkiness. I love it.
I've heard it said that one should never meet your idols because the reality is never as good as the paragon one builds them into. But. Neil Gaiman's reality is better than I could have imagined. He's down-to-earth, and funny in a quiet way both dryly English and wonderfully morbid, and all mussed up in all his black clothes. And he has such a lovely reading voice, but because his accent is the same as Alan Rickman's I had a surreal moment in which a Snape-Metatron hybrid was the one reading the beginning of The Graveyard Book.
I could go on about Gaiman and his reading tonight down on O'Connell Street, but I'll restrain myself.
