I pretty much died of joy after this. Not even geek joy. Just like, regular life joy. Nonspecific in its hugeness.
First Colleen Doran linked to me (I’m still editing her PSA! She’s very swift and smart and good!) and that was like, “Whoa.”
And now this? Really? My favorite author.
I immediately IM’d my friend Nate and was like, “AAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHH!” and Nate kindly dealt with my insanity.
I’m pretty much dead, due to all the happiness right now.
In the words of South Park, “Dead, dead, dead, soon we’ll all be dead, dead dead dead, one day we’ll all be dead.”
Hooray!
If you read my blog you’ll see that Mary Roach, my current fave author, actually wrote a delightful email back to me.
I think authors rock, and always seem to remember where they came from, unless their names end with ‘King’ or ‘Rowling.’
They’re really just geeks like us who love writing and having people read their stuff.
Plus, you hit on a target he’s passionate about.
But how cool for you. You have a FAN in GaiMAN! (your new political slogan)
