Good Omens (hello again)

louiseluxI 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.

*so far

Date: 2019-06-16 02:03 pm (UTC)I was a little afraid that I wouldn't care, after so many years since I've been in book fandom, but then I saw Tennant was cast as Crowley and knew I couldn't stay away. (And also that if anyone would, he'd do justice to Crowley.)
I have so many FEELS right now.
(I am also cautiously optimistic watching the collision of new!fans and old!fans. Although... The "Zira" wars, here we go again. XD)
