Social Media
Should we list his social media accounts? i.e. his Twitter (if not deleted), Tumblr, Mastodon, etc. Sobqjmv sphinx (talk) 20:46, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
It's a fantastic idea as Gaiman is very active on his networks and communicates directly with his fans. Just the other day he was answering questions about Good Omens on Tumblr (I love him there) -- Ellakbhesse (talk) 08:21, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

"When I heard this news break, I literally said "finally", because as a spec writer who is friends with many people in the workshop scene, I knew that Clarion (the writing workshop that Gaiman had been an instructor for and also promotes) has a "Gaiman Rule". The rule is "instructors are not allowed to sleep with the students". I heard multiple people who attend writing conventions urge each other away from interaction with Gaiman outside of official events. I know that for over a decade, people have been too afraid to talk about negative interactions with him in public, which I think is why this ended up on Tortoise Media and not a venue that could actually burn social capital by speaking out against him. I share this for people who don't have access to the behind the scenes of publishing like I do-- people have been giving Gaiman a pass for a long time, and I think we need to accept that this is who he is. This isn't from out of nowhere among people who are supposed to be his colleagues and peers."

2024 Allegations - Transcript?
I remember seeing a transcript of the tortoise media podcasts linked somewhere, but now I can't find it - does anyone have it? We could add it to the links to make it a bit more accessible for people who can't easily listen to a podcast. -- FBV (talk) 17:28, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
