I have never once wished for Tolkien to still be alive as much as I do in this moment

One thing that so many people get wrong about Holmes is saying that he’s anti-social and bad with people. He’s awkward, of course, in a very classically autistic way, but when it comes down to it, he’s actually pretty good with people a lot of the time. How do we know this? He has a shocking number of acquaintances who are fiercely loyal to him.

There’s Watson, obviously, but then there are the Baker Street Irregulars, who are clearly in it for more than the pay he gives them - they always seem delighted to help him. Across various stories, Watson runs into a number of people who do whatever he wants as soon as he so much as mentions Holmes’ name. Many of their cases could only be solved because Holmes has a network of convenient people who will do basically anything for him. We don’t know what Holmes did to earn such loyalty, but we can guess - he helped them. He was kind to them. We know that he is often much kinder to the outcasts and downtrodden of society than anyone expects him to be, because we see it in his behavior.

I think that this really ties in so neatly with Holmes being both autistic and queer (however you choose to read his queerness). He doesn’t care about the rules of “polite” society, so he often insults people who consider themselves his superiors. But he is always kind to those who aren’t used to receiving kindness from the world, because he knows what that feels like. That’s why the Irregulars love working for him - he makes them feel important! Honorable! Invaluable to his heroic work! He treats them with respect that no one else in the world gives them, and it’s not just because he’s trying to get something out of them. He actually respects them.

And above all, we know that he isn’t antisocial or bad with people, because Watson loves him so much. Watson, who is by all means a much more well-adjusted member of society, is more loyal to this weird little man than he is to his own country, which he literally got shot fighting for. Because Holmes has earned his love and loyalty. Because he’s a good person. And even if he’s bad at the official rules of polite society, he’s good at being kind. And that’s what really matters.

The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings: Deluxe Pocket Boxed Set. In my country the color scheme of the box and books is different from the English version, the synthetic leather has some stylized grooves too. I liked it so much❤️

Those who asked for a refund have their reasons. Those who didn't asked for refund also have reasons. And there is no more valid reason than another. There are those who no longer want anything with NG's name on the shelf, even if he's not getting paid for this project, people who are conflicted about loving something where his name is. There are those who chose to maintain the request in support to all the people who worked on this project, taking into account that NG is not being paid for copies, people who think it is unfair for the entire team to be harmed by the mistakes of one person. And it's okay, regardless of one's choice, we are not doing anything wrong. I think people need to be kind to each other and also to themselves❤️❤️❤️

There are a lot of refund requests for the Kickstarter and Terry's estate is struggling to process them all. If you haven't heard back, make sure you got the auto response. They won't necessarily respond before tomorrow's deadline but they will honour the request, according to the faq.

The deadline if you want a refund is TOMORROW. Friday 7 February 2025.

Email is kickstarter@terrypratchett.com

NG isn't getting the proceeds. He's quite possibly received a one-off payment, but that likely won't change depending on how many copies are sold and how many refunds requests are received. We can't know for sure but it's still his IP and the statement was carefully worded.

I'm not saying I think you should get a refund. I'm not saying I think you shouldn't. I haven't even decided myself. The idea of cancelling makes me cry. The idea of not cancelling makes me cry. I am in no position to tell anyone anything. But that's the deadline, folks. I'm just passing it on.

*** FOR THOSE WHO HAVE CONTACTED THE ESTATE FOLLOWING THE JANUARY 2025 KICKSTARTER UPDATE ***

6 Feb 2025: To confirm: anyone who has been in touch during the refund window that ends of 7th February will be refunded, or have their pledges altered, as requested. We are working through a high number of queries and appreciate your patience.

What if I haven’t heard back before 7th February?

We have received a high number of queries and though we have tried to respond, we are unable to address all queries as they come in and are now focusing on refunding as the priority. We are now replying as we are processing the refund, or as we require more information to action the request. We apologise for the inconvenience on this, or perceived silence – as a small team we are working through these as quickly as possible but want to emphasise that if you have been in touch we will get back to you and aim to have responded to everyone by Monday 17th February.

What if I haven’t been refunded before 7th February?

You will still be refunded. We have been processing refunds across the week since the Kickstarter update, however the Kickstarter system is not optimal for processing refunds at this scale, so these are being done in waves. We will get back to you as soon as we are able.

3 Feb 2025: We are currently receiving a higher volume of emails and Kickstarter messages than usual, and are working through them as quickly as possible.

Please note that any requests received by the 7 February deadline will be honoured, as per the update. Do not worry if your refund or product alterations has not been processed by then – we will be working through everyone who has been in touch during the window and will continue until they are all fulfilled, for as long as it takes to clear everyone who has been in touch. We anticipate this may run across the month of February.

If you have emailed and received the autoreply – that is your confirmation that we have received your email. If you have been in touch via Kickstarter, there is no autoreply, but your message will have been safely received if you can see it in your sent messages. We are working through these chronologically where possible, so please note repeated chases keep pushing your messages further down the inbox, and so we apologise if it seems we are taking longer than expected to reply.

We appreciate your patience and will continue working through everything.

Hey, fam, just FYI that even though Gaiman isn't the showrunner for GO3 anymore, he still owns the IP and therefore still gets a bunch of credits and will still be paid for his work on the show.

More info at this link, with receipts: https://www.reddit.com/r/neilgaiman/comments/1i6s6yk/neils_involvement_with_amazon/

Gaiman will continue to get residuals from all three seasons of GO and from any other show that has already been produced as long as they are streaming or broadcast anywhere. Presumably he will also continue to get royalties from sales of his books, along with advances for anything that anyone publishes in the future, assuming anyone still wants to publish his stuff at all.

Streaming any show Gaiman worked for, including GO3, will give more money to Gaiman. Buying Gaiman's books will give more money to Gaiman.

It's not possible to divest Gaiman of his own intellectual property, no matter how much we might want to do so. If you want to avoid supporting him financially, you need to not stream the shows or buy any more of his writing.

Please note that I'm not telling people that they shouldn't stream the shows or buy the books. It's up to each of us as individuals to decide whether or how we want to interact with Gaiman's work going forward.

oh look how diligently he's taking his notes--
