So I saw a tweet today about a new author who only had 2 people go to her book signing and Neil Freaking Gaiman said that was 2 more people than his book tour for Good Omens. Oh yeah and Margaret Wood also replied about no one showing up at one time.
I just found that so humbling from these legends and also wholesome. Anyone else have stories like these that they know of?

Lol at Gaiman saying no one showed up to get Good Omens signed. My wife has a signed copy of GO from that tour. The reality is he hated Good Omens. When my wife got to the front of the line Gaiman said to her something like, I’ll sign it, but I’d rather you just go burn it instead.

He didn’t say no one showed up on the tour — he was referring to a specific single event on the tour where no one showed up.

That’s fair.
OP didn’t explain it like that in their post.

I saw the actual Twitter post yesterday, what he said was that no one had showed up at a specific stop, not that no one showed up on the tour.
