If Neil Gaiman said something like that to me, I think I'd pass out. Heady indeed.
I've met a couple of famous people, and I know people who know famous people, or at least authors I like. I even have a couple of authors I'm really fond of on my friends list. There's just always that initial moment of "Wow, you wrote this thing I thought was really wonderful, and, uhhh, hi..." I usually regain some intelligence after that. :)
I seem to recall a sestina, but I ended up staying up far too late looking at this, so my sleeping brain might have manufactured it. There was indeed a villanelle.
