I’d like to share a short story I stumbled onto while reading Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman.

good news

you can return ALL of @neil-gaiman's Audible audiobooks. According to policy, you're only able to return titles you've gotten with a credit within 365 days of the purchase, but if you contact support and give them your reason, they'll do it for you no problem. hope this helps! now if you'll excuse me, i'm gonna go curl into a ball and sob my eyes out 😎

H u s h, the Nowhere King sleeps made for the @fragile-things-zine Centaurworld Zine (ID: An aerial view of the skeletal remains of an eldritch elk with too many legs and rib cages lying on red/black/blue ink- or blood-like sludge, curled up in a circle. At opposite is the General, likewise lying on the ground. Morning light gives the bones an orange glow. Maybe they're dead or maybe they're just sleeping.)

I was allowed the honor of coloring this piece by @godtierwallpaper !

I absolutely love this older Omi designed by @writerkatsblog . his design is so good and his whole characterization was perfection (which you can read here )! He was such a good mentor 😭 I love him so much!

Tell me if this is stupid, but what if we use the reblogs/replies on this post (or make your own) to say whatever it is we want/wanted to say to Gaiman. Whether thats

Fuck you

A praise of one of his works that you dont think he deserves to hear now

A question (you won't get answers, but it might help)

Anything else

I'll go first

My deadname (which I still use irl) is a very old, uncommon name. A minor character in good omens had that name. It really helped me reassociate it with a new idea. Also, it felt like Crowley and Aziraphale were talking to me every time they said it.

Idk I just thought it was a good idea for coping.

Chase may have sealed her powers, but Wuya is nothing if not versatile. She'll remind him how she earned her nickname of "witch".

(Read Fragile Things for more witchy Wuya!)

Bell, Book, Candle

So I was reading My Life by Neil Gaiman, which is collected in the book Fragile Things, and I saw this line: “For all he had a candle, bell, and book.”

All I could think of was the scene in Good Omens where Shadwell confronts Aziraphale in the bookshop and says “bell, book, practically a candle”

I’m really hoping this was a reference

Here's my pieces for the zine @fragile-things-zine I was did last year in 2022^^ It was my first ever zine experience and it was such a fun little project to work on. Enjoy!!

“Stories, like people and butterflies and songbirds' eggs and human hearts and dreams, are also fragile things, made up of nothing stronger or more lasting than twenty-six letters and a handful of punctuation marks. Or they are words on the air, composed of sounds and ideas-abstract, invisible, gone once they've been spoken-and what could be more frail than that? But some stories, small, simple ones about setting out on adventures or people doing wonders, tales of miracles and monsters, have outlasted all the people who told them, and some of them have outlasted the lands in which they were created.” ― Neil Gaiman, Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders.

For uniformity's sake :

Each work count as 1,

e.g. Sandman counts as one because different editions mean a different number of volumes and Danny who's read the 3 Omnibus Volumes has read just as much as Nawel who's read 14 volumes.

Yes it means that someone who's read one issue will vote for the same thing that someone who's read the whole thing. No system is perfect.

If you've read one work (let's say The Graveyard Book) and its adaptation (let's say P. Craig Russell's), it counts as two, though (and not 3 even if the graphic novel is divided in two parts)

Of course audiobooks count.

“Oh, would you look at this. One of Dashi's old cronies.”

A scene from Fragile Things. I did not expect to see these three interact.
