Neil Gaiman (pronounced Gaym'n) is the writer of
Sandman, American Gods, and many other fantastical writings (even songs). He's a supporter of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and has many weird, friendly, and sometimes strangely talented fans who also happen to mostly be very polite, even in forums.

I'm the one standing behind the panda, wearing a hat. I think.

I met Neil when he was the Guest of Honor at our Science Fiction convention, ConCat. As the Program Director, I knew bits and facts about him - although I'd never read his work - but it was the person, not the famous writer, whom I found so intriguing.
Yes, Neil is polite - and charming - and good looking, but the real fascination for me was something different.
Meeting him opened up the realization that I'd never felt like a true fan because I wanted to be a
creator
- watching from the sidelines wasn't enough.
It's apparently a common Neil phenomenom, inspiring people that way.
