ugh writers block is the worst and i am having two completely different kinds of it for my two fics
like for one of them i have it completely planned out very thoroughly and i know exactly what i want to write i am just less hyperfixated on the fandom right now so i haven't been motivated to write
the other one i am very much hyperfixated on but i don't know how i want to continue the story and whether i want to make it short and sweet or long and plotty and i have ideas but they are just not coming together the same way
Tl;dr how you can personally make Neil Gaiman lose money (and not be a jerk to others.)
I see a lot of folks upset that NG will financially benefit from residuals and other compensation surrounding his involvement in the adaptation of Sandman and Good Omens (and he will.) But the answer isn’t “rage at the fans who are so emotionally attached to their blorbos because they grieve differently, and then somehow NG will be financially punished.” That’s lower-class/middle-class thinking. NG is too rich and financially diversified to really be hurt by little boycott or a couple of show cancellations (though said cancellations can cause life-changing poverty to the little guys who signed contracts and turned down other opportunities before all of this came out. Boy does NG love women in poverty 🤮)
So if you want to substantially reduce the wealth of someone at NG’s financial level—you need to do it with professional services fees.
Details below the cut:
The firm that NG has apparently engaged for online reputation management (ORM), called edendale, was once paid for their professional testimony in an unrelated slander lawsuit, which was delivered in the form of a report (2) outlining the strategy ORM firms use and (2) just how ludicrously expensive those professional services cost. (Credit to horrornobody77 for digging up the report.) We’re talking hundred of thousands of dollars for a small potatoes case, where NG’s could easily get into the millions for ORM and associated legal fees.
Reddit - Dive into anything
It’s not that long of a read, but to summarize the key action items you can take:
📆 -ORMs wait for the discourse to die down, because active discourse is much more expensive to counter. Wanna cost NG money? Talk about the accusations over time. Set a quarterly calendar event in your phone to remind yourself to post (and otherwise engage on other people’s posts) about the Vulture article. This needs to happens for years, so that NG has to pay for more comprehensive ORM and for longer.
✅-Make discourse that is Google-friendly. Use the words edendale will find concerning (they’re already running fluff pieces with the terms Neil Gaiman Uncovered to try and bury the similarly named subreddit.) If you just post a link without much comment, it’s not gonna be prioritized by search engines. Similarly, if you make a low effort post and then no one else engages with it—it’s not going to make it to the top ten search results. Engage with each other, for heaven’s sake!
🦾-Don’t let the fluff sit unaddressed. If you see random bot posts sharing NG quotes captioning random fantasy art (possibly AI or misattributed /stolen) with the comments turned on? Respond! Make it hard for the bots to understand your comment but easy for humans. “Nice quote! Mega bummer about what NG did, I used to really like him,” is hard for a bot to auto-delete. “Fuck NG,” is practically doing the bot’s autodelete command for it.
✍️ -If/when you post fan works for properties strongly related to Neil Gaiman, leave a lil callout in the author’s notes. Nothing that will get you sued, just a few words like: “I would definitely personally choose to not ever meet Neil Gaiman at a comic con.” Maybe throw in a link to your fav tumblr summary.
Anyway, to the person being paid hundreds or thousands of dollars per hour by Neil Gaiman for professional services—you’re welcome for the extra billable hours 😘
Also Edendale sounds like a law firm in a Good Omens legal AU fic, and I can’t believe it’s real.
ahhhh i finished my good omens 3 fix it fic (the first chapter at least) and got it all set up on ao3 but i can't post it yet because i asked my friend to beta it and she's at work
but i am very proud of it and very excited to share with the world :) here's the summary if you're interested:
About a year after meeting at the bookshop and going on their first date, Asa and Anthony have built a loving relationship and are now engaged to be married. However, Anthony finds himself haunted by dreams and memories from a life he never lived featuring a version of Asa he doesn’t recognize.
Can the fabric of reality handle a Godless universe? Was it ever a Godless universe in the first place? And who are Asa and Anthony, really?
The former Son of God splitting the G with the former Adversary, Destroyer of Kings, Angel of the Bottomless Pit, Prince of this World and Lord of Darkness 🍻
another fic i recently finished was Ave Imperator by Meinrhos and my god that was an amazing fic. I loved the characterization of all the characters and the dynamic between Aziraphale and Crowley. And the end! It was so bittersweet. 10/10 would recommend
