Good Omens (hello again)

I just went back and reread the Good Omens fic I wrote in 2003-4. That was quite a weird experience. Not bad, just weird. I thought I'd finally put it on AO3 because people have asked, and upload it with the caveat that it's book canon. But actually there's very little in them that goes against TV canon. I wonder if that's partly because it was a very good adaptation? It's at least partly because I never wrote anything very long or involved in GO fandom, and my stories were often about underpants or porridge or snake babies, and other silly things. 

Yeah, now I do want to write something long an involved. My writing efforts have changed a lot in the years since then, going from always short to always long, possibly reflecting the change in why I write. Not that I have written very much in the past year, really.

Anyhoo, I have a metric shit ton of feelings about GO right now. That adaptation has pleased me a lot. As I was saying just this morning, it's really quite something to go back to an old fandom but with a shiny new set of mental imagery.

Helllloooooo! *jumps up and down from the back of the class* Hiii!

It's been literal years! I haven't watched a TV series in years, but I had to watch this one and AAAAAAAAAH! *flaps hands*

So goood! Had to binge-watch in one night and then be a zombie at work - all worth it.

Good to meet you again under the wing umbrella of the same fandom!

I've been getting a steady drip-drip of kudos on my ancient and rather tiny stash of GO fics, since the TV series was announced. Looking forward to my favourite authors responding back to a canonical take on the "4 times + 1" :D :D.

Hiiii!

Aw, thank you!

I'm trying to write, but I've been having a few years' worth of writer's block, and it shows.

Also, I'm usually motivated by needing to read something that doesn't yet exist. Whereas now the fandom is big, it probably exists somewhere, I "just" need to browse and filter until I find it...
