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....

Have you seen the book "Prince of Stories: The Many Worlds of Neil Gaiman", edited by Hank Wagner, Christopher Golden and Stephen R. Bissette? I just picked it up at the library, because I thought it would be interesting to read some of the history behind Gaiman's works ... it includes interviews, conversations between Gaiman and some of his collaborators, etc. ... and it all looks very intriguing!!
