* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Neil's more child-friendly stuff may deceive younger readers into thinking all his work his age appropriate. It isn't. Neil eventually realized this and released ''M is for Magic''.

YMMV about creators rather than their work is not permitted - see Creator Page Guidelines


* HarsherInHindsight: In his essay "The View from the Cheap Seats", Neil describes how due to drinking whiskey and eating a giant brownie at the Oscars, he wanted to storm out of the mezzanine after being told he couldn't leave due to "bothering the A list", and that he wanted to rally everyone to go downstairs and mingle with Harvey Weinstein. Considering Harvey Weinstein's misdeeds coming to light in 2017 . . .
* JustForFun/OneOfUs: The userbase of Website/{{Tumblr}} is known for suffering no celebrity to remain on the site unbullied. Neil may well be the only exception.

* CanonDefilement: {Invoked}} Gaiman hoped ''[[https://thedreaming.moteofdust.com/1999/10/10/snow-glass-apples/ Snow, Glass, Apples]]'' (a PerspectiveFlip of "Literature/SnowWhite") would prevent the reader from ever experiencing the original innocently again. His ExternalRetcon of ''Literature/{{Beowulf}}'' pulls a similar trick. ''Literature/TheProblemOfSusan'' riffs off of Susan's exile from [[Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia Narnia]]: her embrace of adolescence means that, ''retroactively'', she experienced the original adventure as a DarkerAndEdgier pagan allegory.
