I've run fan sites for various celebrities since the 1990s. The one thing I hate about running a fan site is that everyone thinks you're the celebrity. Unfortunately, that's the case here. People really seem to think I'm Neil Gaiman. I assure you that I am NOT Neil Gaiman. Mr. Gaiman has much more important things to do with his time than to make a fan site for himself.
With the other fan sites I was involved with, I was able to reveal who I was, so there was no question about who was running the site. Fans could see that I was a completely different person from the celebrity. I had a link to my own site and they could check out my work if they so desired. Unfortunately, that's NOT the case here. I cannot reveal who I am. I can't post a link to my own site. I've been threatened by these non-fans and haters. I've never dealt with a more toxic "fandom" than these former "fans" of Mr. Gaiman. However, I'm not going to take the site down. The more they threaten me, the more I'll support Mr. Gaiman.
The only thing I will reveal about myself is that I'm a writer. But, you probably already figured that out. I'm a writer supporting another writer. I'm supporting a very good writer who was falsely accused by the worst kind of liars.
Mr. Gaiman has NOTHING to do with this site. He does not own it. He did not register the domain name. He did not create it. He did not write the articles posted here. He did not pay me to create this site. He did not pay me to write the articles posted here. However, I won't lie, I really wish he would pay me! I could always use some extra money! This site is created, owned, maintained, and written by me, the mysterious and anonymous writer.
Do you want to know something really crazy? Mr. Gaiman has no idea who I am! We've never even met! That's right, I run a fan site for a person that I've never met! However, I'm hoping to change that one day and to actually meet him! I have some ideas to help clear his name and reputation that I would really like to discuss with him.
